Ritchie Dawn Hale has worn many hats in her lifetime. Among those are Pastor's wife for fifty years, mother, Nonna, school teacher, and adult college student.
She loves to go on adventures, although now in her seventies, they are more like mild excursions. She loves a sense of exploring new things, immersing herself in the beauty of the outdoors (particularly along the beaches of Florida), and gardening in her flower beds.
As she experiences new things, she has a sense of connecting the old with the new, and discovering the hand of God in creation, and the voice of God in her heart.
Ritchie knew early in her life that she was an artist, photographer, and a writer. She has written for Upper Room, SBC Life, Campus Life, and is the author of "Treasures of the Tattered Box, A Journey to Remember."

Morning Meditations
God’s mercies are new EVERY MORNING. His faithfulness is FOREVER. And, Because of His great love expressed in the sacrifice at Calvary, I will live forever. That is HOPE.

God’s mercies are new EVERY MORNING. His faithfulness is FOREVER. And, Because of His great love expressed in the sacrifice at Calvary, I will live forever. That is HOPE.
Have you had mornings that your words couldn’t keep up with your thoughts of praise, prayer, and hope? How did you express it? Perhaps it came out as a song, a Bible verse, or simply silence.
“My voice shalt Thou hear in the morning, oh Lord. In the morning will I direct my prayer unto you and will look up.” Psalm 5:3

For the past several years I have been gathering stories, poems, and devotionals for my next book. I will let you know here on my website when it is available for purchase.
Whether I am walking along a shoreline, sitting under a shade tree, walking in the rain, or just 'being still', I find that God whispers His thoughts into my heart. It is those thoughts I want to bring to you.
How can you help? Please pray for me that I'd have clarity on what to include in the book, and that I'd have a sense of timing to accomplish this task.
Treasures of the Tattered Box
About the Book
Ritchie was fourteen years old when she first met her great aunt Hallie and fully expected her to be a frumpy old lady. She was wrong. Thirty years later an old tattered box bound together with frayed twine containing treasures and keepsakes, would lead Ritchie on a twenty-five year journey, often accompanied by her mother-in-law. They would visit six states and journey nearly fifteen thousand miles.
As the years and miles accumulated so did the participants whose lives were intertwined with the story of Hallie’s life, love, loss, and legacy.
Ritchie had set out on a journey to remember but discovered so much more.
