A Fascinating Ministry
Today I took the car over to the local car wash to get a good cleaning. It was a beautiful day, so I waited outside as the workers washed it inside and out. As I sat on the bench, I gave my sister a call. We talked about times we might be able to get […]
Can Still Teach
My dad spent 25 years in the Air Force working as a meteorologist. After he retired, he spent 20 years teaching physics at a local college. He also wanted to teach about space, but did not find a suitable college text book. So he wrote one. He has taken groups of people to observatories and […]
The Hand Made Sign
Every time I drive by a certain street corner, there is a man there who holds a hand made sign and waves it as he walks around. Typically, there are too many words on the sign to read while you are driving by. Today I went to lunch with my mom and her friend. We […]
Well Cared For
A few weeks back a friend of mine thought it would be fun to participate in a “mud run”. Unfortunately, as she landed from one obstacle, she felt searing pain in both her legs. The doctor found that she had a torn quad tendon and did surgery on one leg. She still had a lot […]

Flicker
It was a beautiful day in the mountains today. I took a short walk with my mom and a long walk with my dad. We took notice of all the flowers, bushes, and trees blooming almost as we watched. We walked down to a creek at the bottom of a hill where the forest floor […]
My parents and I headed up to the mountains today. The recent rains – and even snowfall – transformed the usually red and brown rocky hillsides to shades of green as the trees and grasses sprouted. In some places with the sun shining on them, the leaves were literally glowing. Later in the day, my […]
Done With PT
Well, it has been 4 long months since I wrecked my hips trying to do Zumba. I knew it was a bad idea at the time, but did it anyways. Truth be told, I would have ended up in the same situation at some point along the way. When I started physical therapy, I couldn’t believe how […]
Grocery Store Accomplishment
I needed to go to the grocery store today. I typically do the shopping by myself – especially in the large grocery store – but I had a bit of a headache, so my mom offered to come with me. I accepted. She had made up a menu and we gave her the list of […]
