• Writing Prompt:

  What was your favorite subject in school? Well I would have to say Music Appreciation in Elementary School. It’s what I knew and loved. Music has been comforting and as I have said many times my Church ministry at a young age. Singing and playing piano came into my life normally because of my parents…

• 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…

• December Craziness

  There’s so much to share and recently not enough time to digest my experiences and thoughts. Saturday was our day for reflection on what happened to our nation on December 7, 1941, Pearl Harbor Day. Since our landslide Election in November, that Red Tide has been happening. To this day four nearly 5 years ago…

• Sunday Thoughts…

  Saturday gave us a white blanket of snow here in Sullivan County. The amounts of precipitation are anywhere from a dusting to maybe a quarter of an inch to maybe an inch. Yet it was so pretty to look at while driving was another thing especially as the night wore on. My parents had to…

• Sitting In… The Lobby

  Wednesday was a good day. I was really excited that my therapy was about to start. It has been a good 6 years since I first had to go through therapy before getting to the MRI for my initial diagnosis. Only a month and a half ago was my first time back in this hospital…

• Saying Goodbye…

  Yesterday was a beautiful and yet bittersweet day. It wasn’t long after Grandpa Leo died that the Pleasantville Preacher moved on. I don’t remember all of the specifics I was 13 nearly a month away from my 14th birthday. This year after listening to some of the ladies who actually know the details and specifics…

• Last Sunday… Thoughts

  Honestly Sunday was a wild card for me. I had no idea what was going to happen. I had heard high school students would be at church so we, the choir, would have to practice down in the basement. It’s been nearly a week so I am trying to remember everything that happened earlier that…

• Homecoming Season

  Two weeks of Church Homecomings. It’s a lot of preparation. Last week was my parents church and yesterday was my church at Pleasantville. Both were wonderful days. We celebrated 205 years yesterday at the Pleasantville Community Church. They split from the Methodist Church due to the growing malfeasance by the Global and domestic church entity.…

• Soaking Up My Sunday

  Honestly… it was excruciatingly hard to get up this morning. This weekend has been busy to say the least. I worked late Friday night on the birthday project, then Saturday was a 4 plus hour drive to Indy and back. Of course it was worth every minute. This week I will have some Indy articles…

• Words Cannot Do Justice…

  Since Friday so many things have happened. A tidal wave almost completely knocked me off my feet that evening. Between the exhaustion of dealing with my ongoing allergies and trying to decipher some unique circumstances I have personally been dealing with and all these darn appointments… Friday I just couldn’t type my words, my thoughts…
