Unlikely Hero’s: For Such A Time
Fred and Rosemary Alsman were so humble their grandchildren did not know what they had a Carnegie Medal for exactly. They didn’t talk about the day they saved two lives very much at all. This medal was up high on a shelf out of arms reach of anyone my age most of my life. The…

Sunday Night Thoughts
June has been quite a month. I have already created the articles ‘June’ and ‘1936’ which meant a lot to me. For 12 years a special little girl has brought such intense love into my family. We prayed for her before she became a possibility so really we prayed for her for 14 years. Yesterday…

For Such A Time As This
For if thou altogether holdest thy peace at this time, then shall there enlargement and deliverance arise to the Jews from another place; but thou and thy father’s house shall be destroyed: and who knoweth whether thou art come to the kingdom for such a time as this? Esther 4:14 Have you ever been in…

The Melody of Life
One of the first college experiences I had at my first college dealt with music in my English class. I spent just under 2 weeks at this place. I took a cue from one of my cousins who finished a year and who sang in the college choir. We were guests for one of her…

Something To Marinate On
The past week has been intriguing to say the least. My world was altered when my Grandpa Leo died. I have always had the loving cocoon of my family and their support.

Editing Note
Do you have ideas that take a while to marinate? Sometimes I can’t just right away have the ideas I need to write. The past 48 hours have been busy. Two Congressional committees have begun and the information disseminated was extensive. Sitting through the over 2 hours for one and then an hour of testimony…

Women
The last election is seen by many as a non ‘Red Wave’ event. How else can you explain some of the eye-opening decisions being made as of this year. The highly controversial reversing of the Roe versus Wade upheaval, I believe is a big piece of this movement. When I found myself on telegram, back…

Writing Prompt
Honestly as far as live performances, I would say at Church. However, I also want to say my niece’s performances at school, but we haven’t been notified of them recently. Ironically one year her performance was on the day I had my carpal tunnel surgery. I remember seeing the video later, but I do enjoy…

Mellifluous
Until yesterday I didn’t know this word or its meaning. Like the name Magdalena, it has a sweet melodic sound. The musician in me thinks of different regions having different musical sounds to portray them. This name, Magdalena, brings out my imagination and my love for the woodwinds who sound best, to me, in minor…

Autopilot in Robinson
Once we got over the horror of not having a little girl to spend time with through the weekend; a plot twist occurred. My brother didn’t even tell dad about this until Saturday. The day before this was all supposed to happen. Somehow my niece on a Face-time chat told us on Friday. Another Road-Trip…
