Indiana Supreme Court Decision
Last week I wrote a double whammy on my niece’s birthday and on being a pro-lifer who knows the reality of the facts in my ‘200th Article’. Also last week I debuted ‘The Hands of my Fathers Series’ and ‘Play Time Files.’ I guess this was what you call the perfect storm. Friday June 23rd…

Thunderstorm Outtage
So yesterday another bad storm came through our backyard. To date in over a couple of decades I have not known our electricity to be out for more than a few hours at most. As of right now my family has been out of electricity since nearly 3pm yesterday. We are fine nothing has been…

A Prayer For Life to Matter
Heavenly Father this week has been quite an emotional one. Having some playtime with just a few residual effects from the 20 shots and the green food from some very young supposed doctors. Among the children aspect of this week I did have an appointment with a neurologist. My allergies to smoke and dust have…

The Last Edition: The Hands of My Father

The 2nd Edition: The Hands of My Fathers
Ironically, I had about the same amount of time with Great-Grandpa Arla as I did Grandpa Leo. There was only about a month, give or take a few days up to a week, in between their deaths. It seems that I remember his death just about 10 days after my birthday which would be somewhere…

The Hands of My Fathers
Sunday Afternoons for the longest time would be in his living room. Grandma Doris and Uncle Bob; they would welcome this deluge of Bishop’s as we filled their entire room. Great-Grandpa Arlie as some called him or the newspaper would misspell his name as Arle; was an intriguing man. The Lord has blessed me over…

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…

A Week of Thoughts
Do you still have moments where the loss of someone hits you hard? Spending as much time as I have through the past decade has given me an outlet to feel secure in sharing with others the bittersweet memories of losing my loved ones. This week seemed a fitting time to share this meticulous Series…

Patriarchs Are A Necessity
In college I worked in the Compliance Office, we were in the office of the Dean of Students. Then our office was moved into the Presidential Suite, which was awesome. Before we moved into the top floor I had an interesting bathroom stop. At Christmas Time we kept a radio on playing an Evansville station…
