• Leisure Reading with Lincoln and Douglass

  My ideas for articles today have had to be reset. What started as a day at home ended up being an afternoon at Terre Haute. My brain isn’t really working this evening, but earlier I got to spend some time actually reading. Reading for leisure, has not been much of a priority lately. So it…

• Memories…25 Years Ago

  Tonight was choir practice at my Grandparents Church. The Pleasantville Church, will always, as long as I live, have that title for me. We ran through the entire lineup as well as missing a couple of the people necessary to complete the performance. Before we even began singing all of us ladies ended up playing…

• A Weekend Twist

  Life is always a mess of decisions and actions. The question is how will you make those very decisions and actions. My parents and I get roped into various situations that were thought out with very little thought to begin with. The actions or rather inactions of others have put us into being Grandpa, Grandma…

• Devotional Thoughts

  Fortunately, I have had some time to read some extra chapters recently. I admit reading about Eve and Adam’s travails after the horrendous decision was made due to a prostrate looking Lucifer. It was after the harrowing decision that God cursed all of the future in this species to be slithering reptiles. Yet for the…

• Trying To Close The Chapter

  Since last night I have had a rather rough time of it. Have you ever tried so hard to put on a can on the lid of a chapter of your life you would like to forget and that you need to heal from? Closing that lid seems harder for me to do even a…

• Today

  My leisurely reading has always been complementary to my writing. So when I was forced to be a chauffeur for mom I got a chance for more. I was able to catch up and read more than just a chapter at a time. This used to be a favorite time saver of sorts. When I…

• Checking In

  Sometimes I still feel a need to pinch myself. Getting a text from one special man saying he wanted to check in on me can still give me goosebumps. He knows I have been in research mode lately. It’s super sweet knowing he wants to check on me and that we got a long minute…
