• Listening To God’s Calling!

  Just a couple of hours ago I got a memory notification from Facebook. It was notifying me of my post from a year ago today. My photos were accompanied by a brief message about being in the ER due to the accident from 3 days earlier on August 1st of last year. Talk about a…

• Weekend Thoughts…

  Wow it was quite the weekend. My family closed on my Grandparents house after a very long process. Plus you all know about the green beans from the same day. However, that was before exhaustion hit us in various stages. On Friday I did most of the green bean preparations, but my parents did help…

• The End of A Chapter

  Today is the end of a very long closing process. My Dad made his trip to the garden a couple of times to get all of the goodies he could that needed to be picked today. Before they headed off to meet with the buyers and his sisters as well as Grandma to sign paperwork,…

• A Morning of Surprises

  Grandma didn’t know about my solo before she got to church. It’s just how it happened not that I was keeping it a secret from her. I didn’t even know before Friday we would be ready for a performance this morning. So I knew it would be a good surprise for her. Then my Mom…

• A Bad Night and Rocky Morning

  Who would have thought one phone conversation could create such discontent? Yesterday was a long day after an exhausting emotional weekend. Plus we keep hearing about more deaths. I had a couple back and forth messages between my cousin about 4 deaths within the past 3 weeks. Then yesterday after we got to Aunt Helen’s…

• My Thoughts This Very Sad Sunday

  This past week had been a good week. Monday and Tuesday we said our earthly goodbye to my Great-Great Uncle Dick who had already been reunited with loved ones and who finally got to meet Christ. It was sad only because we are left behind, he no longer deals with pain or tears. We even…

• Cemeteries… A Peaceful Solitude

  Heading back to the Cemetery this morning almost always feels good. It means exercise time and about half of the time we can say it is actually peaceful. I guess we have to have a reason to pay the mowers right! There are times they beat us and vice versa. Today once again they beat…

• Saying Goodbye For Now

  This morning I have to admit I was a bit irritated. I got up early and was ready to walk by 7 am. Mom had taken off with my brother to get milk so I got a little flustered by this when we have been trying to get up early to walk and today was…

• Reminders of Proverbs

  Earlier this year I wanted to do a Wednesday night look at Proverbs. The time I spent reviewing the book was exhilarating and necessary. It’s why we are taught in our churches to continually be reading in our Bibles little passages at a time. It’s easier to manage and may help to engage in your…

• Father’s Day Sunday

  Last night I was kind of thinking about the day’s events and it hit me how blessed I am. I have 3 church families who are so vastly interconnected through interactions of family and movement of friends going to different places. I would never have thought that last week I would be talking to a…
