Manning Tribute
I chatted with my just barely a teenager grandson this afternoon via text on his own phone. It was great fun talking with him independently from his parents. He is a Broncos fan, even though he lives in the Northeast. Well, he doesn’t really have much choice as his dad is a Broncos fan. I asked […]
Response From Beyond
Today I read a story about a young police officer cadet who was unfortunately killed in the line of duty. The grief stricken mother continued to send text messages to his phone number, especially when she was having a difficult time. One day, after pouring out her heart in one of the texts, she received […]
A Gentle Father
When you go to church, it can seem as if there is “assigned seating”. Everyone gravitates to the same spot week after week. It is the same for me and my parents. We sit in the back area, deemed the “handicapped” areas. It is just inside the entrance, so you don’t have to walk far. […]
Power of Prayer
Tonight I talked with a friend who told me a story of how a group of kids learned about the power of prayer. Every year the youth group participates in a 30-hour Fast during Lent. They have nothing but bread and water for 30 hours and at the same time raise money for the local food […]

Yesterday I went to a pool therapy session. One of the participants was a middle aged blind man. He was brought by his mother who helped him find the changing room and get all set. Then she helped him find his way around the pool to a chair to await the instructor. Once he was […]
Airport Driver
Tonight was the weekly “retreat” that I have been going to. The topic for the evening was trusting in God. It is necessary for our spiritual growth, but isn’t always easy to do. I seem to go back and forth. Sometimes I hang on to whatever control I might have and other times I can more […]
Family Reconnected
My travelling brother made his way south to our cousin’s house where he met up with our aunt who is also visiting there. She had some problems with her i-pad and was hoping that my brother would be able to help her with it. Evidently it took him a few taps here and there and […]
