By Jennifer Richardson Holt After the somber mood of last week, I felt I shouldn’t fling drivel at you this time. I wanted something lighter—still meaningful, but not heavy. Not that stories about hummingbird skirmishes or my daughter’s clever quips aren’t fitting in their own right, but I knew I wasn’t quite back in thatContinue reading “Toward the Light, Beyond the Field 9/21/2025”

When God’s Time Became Our Forever 8/31/2025
By: Jennifer Richardson Holt When I was a little girl imagining my future, I always saw myself getting married. Oddly enough, I didn’t give it nearly as much thought as you might expect. As someone who now delights in fawning over wedding details, you would think I’d had mine planned out well before my firstContinue reading “When God’s Time Became Our Forever 8/31/2025”
Where We Fix Our Eyes 8/24/2025
By: Jennifer Richardson Holt One topic kept coming back to my mind this week, no matter how many distractions tried to dissuade me. Sure, there were all the nature moments that tug at my heartstrings and make me want to write. There was the smoke rising off distant pastureland, reminding me of my beloved mountains,Continue reading “Where We Fix Our Eyes 8/24/2025”
The Gales at Hand 3/16/2025
By: Jennifer Richardson Holt There are storms coming so today will try to be brief. I have said I would be brief before, but I may just mean it today. Dangerous times are heading my way. They will come in a variety of forms, and I have no idea what exactly to expect. There willContinue reading “The Gales at Hand 3/16/2025”
How Quickly We Forget 1/19/2025
By: Jennifer Richardson Holt We are a terribly forgetful people. Let me explain what I mean. We tend to forget past experiences when new situations arise. Difficulties which we all have seem to always catch us off guard. I am talking to myself very much here. I hope it is not secret that I amContinue reading “How Quickly We Forget 1/19/2025”
The Lies We Tell Ourselves 1/5/2025
By: Jennifer Richardson Holt Apparently, the new year hasn’t done much by way of refreshing my mind with new and interesting topics. The things that are currently in my mind most right now are all the typical commentary that one hears at the beginning of the year. There are the usual announcements of people whoContinue reading “The Lies We Tell Ourselves 1/5/2025”
Small, But Mighty 11/24/2024
By: Jennifer Richardson Holt As I sit here, it looks like it is snowing. Now it most certainly is not since in my neck of the woods we are not often blessed with such pleasantries. And I do realize that snow is not necessarily pleasant in the opinions of all my readers however if youContinue reading “Small, But Mighty 11/24/2024”
In Spite of It All, Hope 9/8/2024
By: Jennifer Richardson Holt I was listening to someone express the woes of today’s society and honestly, I wasn’t disagreeing. The conversation carried on down the path of bemoaning how the world isn’t what it used to be and how things were so terribly different. This is probably, no, definitely true. I absolutely didn’t usedContinue reading “In Spite of It All, Hope 9/8/2024”
Forever and Always 8/4/2024
By: Jennifer Richardson Holt This past weekend I went to a wedding. It was probably one of the most beautiful weddings that I have ever attended. I know what you’re thinking. You think that I am a sucker for elegant dresses and lovely flowers, and you would be completely correct. However, that is not, inContinue reading “Forever and Always 8/4/2024”
When Trouble Comes 1/1/2023
By: Jennifer Richardson Holt Two consecutive blogs falling on major holidays is making me feel a bit of pressure if I’m honest. I don’t know that I did all that well for my contribution last week and that only intensifies the weight that I feel to produce content worthy of my first piece of theContinue reading “When Trouble Comes 1/1/2023”
The Wall 3/13/2022
By: Jennifer Richardson Holt I saw an inspirational saying the other day that actually stuck with me. Often times, and maybe I am just overly critical, those little nuggets of wisdom that we see people posting on social media are somewhat, well, for lack of a better term, cheesy. Yes, even as I typed it,Continue reading “The Wall 3/13/2022”
The Pointless Practice 7/18/2021
By: Jennifer Richardson Holt I am unbelievably skilled in the art of worry. I call it an art because when you do it as much and to the level of involvement that I do it, it goes far beyond just an action. Please note I do not make this claim with any sort of pleasureContinue reading “The Pointless Practice 7/18/2021”
The Glowing and the Green 12/20/2020
By: Jennifer Richardson Holt This year I have taken the hanging of the green more seriously than I ever have before. Don’t get me wrong I have always been madly in love with the idea of decorating for Christmas. As far as I am concerned, I wholeheartedly agree with the sentiment that it is theContinue reading “The Glowing and the Green 12/20/2020”
Branches and Roots 11/29/2020
By: Jennifer Richardson Holt I feel like I may have taken on a topic in this blog that is significantly over my head. Not that I don’t think I can write about it, I just think that despite my innate ability to fling unnecessarily large amounts of words at a subject matter, I don’t knowContinue reading “Branches and Roots 11/29/2020”
Passion and Potluck 10/25/2020
By: Jennifer Richardson Holt It was two different plants that are apparently in the same family that got me thinking about today’s topic. First off, the massive showy blossoms of a confederate rose caught my eye as they cannot help but do. When you see a giant ball of white ruffled petals first thing inContinue reading “Passion and Potluck 10/25/2020”
With Great Expectations 9/6/2020
By: Jennifer Richardson Holt I have always felt like fall was the start of something. I suppose, in the most realistically basic sense, it is the start of kids returning to school so that’s something. The lazy days of summer for child, parent and teacher alike are morphing into something that is a more hectic,Continue reading “With Great Expectations 9/6/2020”
