Almost Heaven


a place for capturing thoughts, quotes, ideas, pictures that I want to remember, express or share.

I am a wife, mom to 6, home maker, teacher and most importantly a disciple of Jesus.

Ask me anything

“To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements. Lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket, safe, dark, motionless, airless, it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. To love is to be vulnerable.”      —C.S. Lewis Open your life to the opportunities you are given to give and get love. It could mean you will be at risk to ‘feel’ all kinds of emotions but it’s worth taking the chance.  Most of the time you will get what you give!
