I have read recently from a couple of the many blogs that I follow, some of the “divisive” quotes by former President Trump over the years. I could not help but remember there have been “unifying” quotes by him, as well. So, I searched. Here are 10 political unifying quotes attributed to Donald Trump over…

The Funeral
My thoughts as the funeral is taking place today: A snapshot of life….we all in this chapel share this moment in time at the funeral of my coworker’s teenage son. As we listen to the heartfelt tributes and memories, through tears and moments of laughter, together as friends, family, and even complete strangers, it is…

Happy Halloween!
Only one problem! We can’t get our front door to open. Tonight, Halloween Night, of all nights. That’s OK. I brought my bucket of candy outside so I can meet the goals and goblins outside. While my husband works furiously to get the door unstuck! It is a chilly 39 degrees. Hope the kiddos are…

Blessed!
Describe a family member. This beautiful Sunday morning, as I look out the back door at this corner of our yard, my thoughts are drawn to the beauty of change, the clouds in the sky, the mostly empty flower pots, and the raised garden box, which contains one last 2-inch long zucchini that I was…

So Much Love
Last night, I was making a delivery in a neighborhood I did not recognize. It seemed like several neighborhoods together covering one large area. My directions seemed to be unclear as I was driving. I pulled over to the right next to some houses and a one story small building so I could get a…

Fantasy Football
The only good thing is that my team is on a bye this week. This is my lowest score so far. Look at the points I left on my bench this week! Kirk Cousins exploded, earning him 70 points… and there those points sit… on my bench. Before I picked up Carr, I had Aaron…

Unexpected Drive
Today, I accepted my second Amazon Flex block ever. It was a 4-hour block that paid $95. When my husband and I pulled into the lane as directed in the outdoor Amazon loading dock, I was happy to see only two bins of packages for me to deliver today. I proceeded to scan and load…

Possessions
What would you do if you lost all your possessions? Popcorn is a favorite snack of mine. The smell of popcorn makes me want to watch 48-Hours, the True Crime Show. And, eating pistachios makes me think of The People’s Court. My husband and I went through a phase of popping popcorn and watching 48-Hours…

Come Listen to a Prophet’s Voice Saturday and Sunday
This weekend is my favorite autumn weekend. My favorite weekend comes around only twice each year, once in the spring and once in the fall. We have the opportunity to listen to the voice of our prophet and apostles. Every time I listen to and/or watch the semi-annual conference of the Church of Jesus Christ…
