About Omie

On this page, I am to explain to the world of the internet why it is that I am going to blog. To state things simply, I’ve always wanted to write, and I’ve always wanted someone to read it. A struggle of proportions ranging from nothing much to epic ensue: do I have anything to say that is worth reading? While the battle rages, unbeknownst to anyone else, I’ve lived quietly and written stealthily and hidden the words away. So now the time has come, as they say, to speak of many things.

To speak of, for instance, me: In 2019, I turned 25 for the third time…Three wonderful adult children have called me Mom, wonderful in-laws have called me…well, called me. Seven equally priceless grandchildren have called me Omie. Seven pretty marvelous great-grandchildren are working on it, and, once they all learn to talk, will also call me Omie. Presumably.

For about 40 years, until he went home to God, the husband that God made so perfect for me… ah, he called me endearments that only we two truly understood to be great treasures between us.

May the words that appear here bless those who read them. It is my hope that there will be words sent out that become keys to deeper insights into the relationships in which God sets us, like precious gems held securely in place in many different settings. His design is for us to shine, radiating His love and beauty in the circumstances of our lives, reflecting His glory to the world around us. Emmanuel.
