Waiting… For God’s Answer
Last Saturday was a Bridal Shower for a friend. To begin this story though I have to back up to two years ago. When I was working at Fresenius about to take my Competency Test to stay on the floor. It was quite frustrating because this one particular week was the week I gave my…

April
This month has always been a busy month for my family. Especially the Alsman Family. There are at least no less than 5 birthdays. The first was actually the day of the Total Eclipse with one of my Mom’s cousins. Then together there was Grandpa’s and Lilly’s and then there is another lull until Uncle…

Our 3rd Anniversary
Yesterday was a day of poignant thoughts and memories. Grandma Rosie died in March of 2020, but her words follow me even now. She told me I would fall and fall hard for my Mr. Right. She was absolutely on the mark; I was the one who was skeptical. Three years ago on the 13th…

Last Night
When I drink sweet tea at a restaurant after 3 pm I guess I am asking for a miserable night. The caffeine and sweetness are too much. Yet it’s like I have brain fog and I forget. I couldn’t sleep a wink finally I got up did some exercising thinking that would help, it didn’t.…

The Eclipse That Brought A Country Solidarity
Have you noticed something today? The news was almost entirely at least for the first half of the day if not most of the day about the Eclipse. The divisions that have stirred the states were tempered down quite a bit. First thing this morning Trump reiterated his stance on abortion early. He had promised…

The Conclusion of Experiences and Reality
Thankfully the nurse made sure to ask for my phone number especially since I was the designated driver. Later in the lobby, I heard a lady say that the nurse had forgotten to get her phone number and it made things a little complicated, but the receptionist was able to help her out in a…

This Weekend
The news told us a month or so ago to be prepared for this weekend as if it would be a holiday weekend. Even the area churches are making a big deal of this. I know one specifically down in Vincennes and even my parents church will be letting people view this auspicious time in…

The Experience Versus The Reality
Yesterday morning I had to set my alarm for 6:30 am and 6:45 am. Mom couldn’t eat and we had already discussed eating breakfast afterwards. So in solidarity I fasted with her only taking my first pill as she also did. I wanted to sleep in until 6:45, but then I thought that only gave…
