Take Heart, My Friends

Beth Ann Chiles/ Inspiration/ 18 Comments/ 611

No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to us all. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure Continue reading →

I Choose Love

Beth Ann Chiles/ Writing/ 12 Comments/ 488

I choose love over hate anytime. I choose positivity over negativity. I choose glass half full over glass half empty. I choose happiness over sadness. I choose embracing over holding at arm’s length. I choose lightness over darkness. I choose to be part of the Continue reading →

Open and Closed Doors

Beth Ann Chiles/ Inspiration/ 10 Comments/ 483

I am a huge fan of Oswald Chambers who wrote “My Utmost For His Highest”.  Sometimes I have to read the selection several times before I can really understand what he is getting at.  He is a pretty deep fellow.  This selection got me thinking about doors. ” Continue reading →

The Time Between the Dash

Beth Ann Chiles/ Writing/ 20 Comments/ 508

Birthdays make me turn a little nostalgic and tend to make me look inward. I guess that is probably typical for most people. As you move past the teenage years (smile) it is only natural to realize that earthly time is getting shorter and shorter. Continue reading →

Ordinary Like Me

Beth Ann Chiles/ Writing/ 16 Comments/ 412

Sometimes I just need to hear the words again to be reminded that even ordinary people like me can make a difference. It’s true, you know.  It really is.  Ordinary people like me can do extraordinary things sometimes. Oh I am not saying that I Continue reading →

Faith Not Fear

Beth Ann Chiles/ Devotional, Inspiration/ 18 Comments/ 22501

One of my favorite verses from the Bible is this one above. It is one that gives me so much comfort during difficult times and right now I feel as if I am in difficult times again. I have seen signs posted during the pandemic Continue reading →

Your Ordinary Life

Beth Ann Chiles/ Devotional, Inspiration, Writing/ 4 Comments/ 461

My sister shared this little quote the other day and it really struck me. As you might guess, from the tagline of my blog – Finding the Extraordinary in the Ordinary– I am a true believer in the small things that may appear to be Continue reading →

Staying Close to the Source

Beth Ann Chiles/ Devotional/ 8 Comments/ 592

Spring has arrived.   I can feel it in my bones. Actually I can feel it in my head with all of the pollen that seems to have accumulated there. Along with the advent of flowers and baby geese which might take over our yard Continue reading →

Rocky Road

Beth Ann Chiles/ Writing/ 9 Comments/ 429

When you read Rocky Road you thought ice cream, right? Yum. It is the perfect ice cream weather and with the temperatures in the high 70’s all week it is the perfect dessert. I, however, was thinking of something different when I typed that title Continue reading →

Grow In the Light

Beth Ann Chiles/ Devotional, Inspiration/ 9 Comments/ 420

I shared this image yesterday in my blog post about Biltmore Blooms and it has stuck in my mind for some reason. Sometimes images do that. As I walked out to our dock earlier today I spied a dandelion in our yard. There was a Continue reading →

The Good Girl
5 of 5 stars
The Good Girl
by Mary Kubica
I loved this book! It had my interest from the very first page and was my "airplane" book on a recent trip. Author Mary Kubica created believable and interesting characters that the reader learned to identify with and care about. Mi...

All the Light We Cannot See
by Anthony Doerr
This is quite a book! I had it recommended to me by several people and while I thought it might be a little dark and depressing it made me have a better understanding of what life in this time period was like. The strength of the huma...

Another great book by John Green. I have become a huge fan of John Green since my reading of A Fault in our Stars and this book was another that did not disappoint me at all. It was a story of a child prodigy, a lot of anagrams, and a b...
