• Answered Prayers

  Yesterday morning after I was dressed and ready for church I finally looked at my phone. Every other Sunday throughout the year we get my niece, but she has had multiple reasons to not come with either me or my parents to church. Her father was raised in church. He now seems to think Sunday…

• How in the World…

  Life seemed black and white to me even back in the 80’s when I was born. I never wondered who I was gender-wise. It was crystal clear to me there were two genders, men and women. There was a difference for women I remember who chose to be stay at home mothers and those who…

• Personal Thoughts

  I was looking forward to working on some articles this evening. Unfortunately that idea was completely shanghaied. I am unhappy how tonight unfolded after specifically saying the word ‘No’ more once. Actually I am pretty certain it was said at least 3 different times. Even though we didn’t sanction the arrival of some kids after…

• News of Intrigue From This Week

  Today is Tuesday right! Goodness so many stories have been going around the circuit in such a short time it seems like it’s Thursday and I have lost a couple of days already. I won’t even get into the Democrat scandal that was apparently unleashed last Friday. The only thing I did hear today that…

• A Navy Veteran With Morals

  Iowa is a so-called Red State right, so how did this happen in the first place? The Governor is Republican and the State Assembly is considered a Red State so how does a satanic statue display get to be assembled at the Capitol? This Naval Reservist saw this horrible representation at his Capitol building and…

• A Day To Remember

  Exactly 82 years ago America was attacked by the Japanese. Very few people alive today remember that day. Grandma Betty told me she was in her home, the kitchen and she remembered how cold it was that day here in Indiana. She heard about it first over the radio that day. Of course I never…

• Suffragist

  Women fought hard to gain their vote and be given the same rights as the men in their lives had. The Feminism movement seems to have disintegrated as well. They only care about ‘my body my right’ when it comes to killing babies, but not when it comes to men forcibly taking away the word,…

• My Home State Losing Moral Authority

  Unfortunately life is not done in a petri dish. I want to believe my fellow Hoosiers are good morally calibrated people, experience has taught us even the reddest state or conservative state is not immune to dumb decision making from lawmakers or even our Education department. Recently before Thanksgiving a headline came out regarding an…

• A Chiefs Fan & Indian

  Over the past 24 to 48 hours a headline has been going around. I didn’t get any of the real specifics until last night. There was a name associated with this story a Deadspin Writer. Obviously this writer wanted to stir up some controversy. This young boy was being called a racist simply because he…

• Time & Christmas

  Although I am no longer that young naive girl so excited to get presents on Christmas; I love making a Christmas atmosphere. The anticipation is most of the fun of Christmas. I don’t expect much in that way as much as I do the looks on everyone else’s looks from the stocking stuffers I am…
