My Mom’s Friend is My Friend’s Mom
Tuesday, I took my mom to the doctor to discuss the pain in her knees. His office retook X-rays of her knees and said there was nothing broken. He gave her a cortisol injection in both knees, said she probably has a “bone bruise” from her last couple of falls, and sent her on her…

Creatively Speaking
List three books that have had an impact on you. Why? * The Scriptures, because they are how God speaks to me. * The Giving Tree – because that tree gave everything it had because of the love it felt for one person. It reminds me of Christ. He gave all… because of the love…

Are You Living My Dream?
It was the year I turned twenty. Two months later my my fiance and I were married. I became a wife and instant mom (a story for another post). I left home for the first time and moved with my husband from a western state to the eastern (midwestern?) state of Ohio in the Sandusky…

A Walk in the Park
Not every choice or experience in this life is as simple or easy as a walk in the park. I wish it was, but it just isn’t. However, with each difficult situation comes learning, deeper understanding, and meaning. Growth. It’s true. This life was never meant to be a walk in the park. Rather, it…

Pondering Joe Rogan Questions Big Bang
https://www.foxnews.com/media/joe-rogan-says-he-finds-jesus-resurrection-more-plausible-than-big-bang-theory This kind of goes along with my recent post about my feelings of the creation. It makes sense and is what I believe. How could we go from nothing to everything from just a “Big Bang?” I believe God was in charge of the creation. Not simply an accidental crash bang, and here we…

Memorial Weekend
Even as a child, I loved the peace and quiet of a cemetery. Today, as my mom, siblings, and I stood near Dad’s headstone, we shared a few memories and a few laughs. Dad would have been laughing right along with us…. He probably was. 😉

My Dad
Who would you like to talk to soon? I wish I could talk with my dad. He was so great to talk with. He could talk about anything! I particularly enjoyed our conversations about God, creation, where we came from, and dinosaurs. He was a bit of a deep thinker. I like deep thinkers who…

Snapshots of Life
The sun was dropping, the air was cooling, and the shadows were lengthening as I briskly walked around the almost two-mile loop at our community park. Several snapshots of life jumped out at me as I progressed along the path. There were groups of small children talking, laughing, and squealing as they ran from one…

Our Night at the Movies
“Mom, do you want to go to see a movie with us at the theater?” She said, “Yes, I would like that. it has been a long time since I have seen a movie at the theater.” As a child, Mom got to see movies for free anytime she wanted because her dad, my grandpa,…

MS Awareness Month – A Personal Experience with Infusion Therapy
Oh! The irony…. The first stick today at the infusion center was in a vein just below my wrist staight down from my right thumb. It stung like crazy. The nurse, a very happy, kind young woman in her 20’s had to move the IV to the left side of my left arm. I was…

Photographer
Not a word I ever thought people would use when describing me. It was about 19 years ago when I taught a class of women at church one evening about how to take better pictures with their own cameras. Of course, in doing so, I showed some of my pictures for examples when describing how…

Money does not grow on trees
Have you ever sat down at your kitchen table, bills spread out before you, and wondered how you can ever get ahead? I’ve been there—feeling the weight of every expense and the creeping anxiety of debt. Recently, I realized managing my money isn’t all that different from running our country’s budget. We all know that…
