• Twenty-Four Hours Later

  When I went to bed last night, my eye still looked very angry at me. This morning my eye felt sealed shut. I had to open it up and cautiously wash it open, most of the redness gone, but still puffy. I absolutely declare this was not something I conjured up to make a couple…

• Waking Up Today…

  For some reason I woke up really early around 5 am. The entire movement lasted all of 5 seconds or less, but I have felt the pain nearly all day except for 10 blessed minutes. Unfortunately our eyes don’t produce tears at night and in those few nanoseconds of waking up early unleashed such a…

• Cold Dose of Reality

  Okay ladies, how do you know that your man loves you? Does he show it by his actions or his words? Does he make it clear as crystal or does he do it in subtle ways? The first time Bryan’s passion came out and figuratively hit me was after I said something innocuous about being…

• Humility

  Life is all about how you deal with your highs and lows, right? As Christians, we are incumbent to rise above the issues plaguing us. Last year to hold on to a job I worked through several things one by one, but the ulcer did me in. Different professionals in the medical field told me…

• 1903

  This man was brought into the world at the turn of this new century. So much was happening and on the cusp in this 20th Century. This young boy ended up being in the newspaper quite a bit while growing up into a young man. To make this easier, today is my Great-Grandpa Arla’s Birthday.…

• American Pride Month

  Pride is normally something that comes before a fall. Scripture is full of prideful men and women taking their own courses of action. Babylon comes to mind simply because my Church recently had a Vacation Bible School with the decorations vibrant like the city of Babylon would have been that seems a bit ironic right…

• Walking Through History In Letters

  Dates are always going off in my head. July 23, 1944 is one of those ‘days of infamy’ in my mind. So this year as usual dates of the letters come to mind when the dates circle round. Today Monday, 17, 2023 is on a Monday like it was in 1944 when Grandpa penciled two…

• A Christmas Card

  The Lord is Glorious as His Grace and Mercy. Lately I have encountered a slew of ‘nos’ from job applications. This one seemed like another lost cause… yet there was something about the job that seemed more what I seem to need. Perhaps this is the one I have been waiting for, to find. If…

• Summer School at OCU

  My college life was really unique. I began college right after graduating from high school, but realized a Catholic Campus wasn’t right for me after all. So then working a job for most of that semester and saving up I was able to start college for the Spring Semester. Maybe this course a year later…

• The Author After My Own Heart

  When I read a book I feel like I am transported instantly to the timeframe of the page I am reading. The first author I found who gave me such a sense of how complicated life and decision making can be was Sarah Sundin. I needed the cookie cutter ending well stories until my heart…
