• Plans on the Run

  This morning began as a usual morning. Mom and I even got a 20 minute walk in before heading out for her appointment. I briefly thought about texting my niece who had just arrived home around midnight to 1:30 am so I had figured she was still asleep. So I put that thought out of…

• Tuckered Out… But Smiling

• Humility

  Life is all about how you deal with your highs and lows, right? As Christians, we are incumbent to rise above the issues plaguing us. Last year to hold on to a job I worked through several things one by one, but the ulcer did me in. Different professionals in the medical field told me…

• A younger Generation…

  The other night I finally got a chance to spend some time on the typewriter. It was special for me to get to experience something that used to be so common. Watching enough World War II movies with the secretaries of the War Department on their typewriters typing paperwork and letters for American families with…
