Fiddles at the Airport
I made a trip to the airport today to pick up my son’s girlfriend who came in for a visit. Actually, my son was supposed to fly in as well, but coming from another state. I got a call from him early this morning that, unfortunately, his flight was cancelled due to the weather. Inside […]
Unwrapped Gift
A few years ago, I met a woman who has had many struggles in her life. She had every reason to be bitter and angry. Yet, she became a youth minister and shares her deep faith and her challenges with those she works with and all those she comes in contact with. I was inspired […]
Priest in the Trees
My parents get a couple of magazines on a regular basis. I usually don’t take time to sit down and read anything, but my mom reads things to me that I would find interesting. It’s good voice exercise for her. A couple weeks ago, my dad kept out an article that he thought I would enjoy. […]
A Recorder Group
Tonight my parents and I watched my grandson performing at his school holiday concert. I saw him and his brother in as many of their concerts as I could when I lived close by. I was always impressed with their school music program. Tonight we viewed it via video. It wasn’t quite the same as being […]
Merry Christmas Wish
I went to the post office today to get my Christmas packages in the mail before having to pay a ridiculous amount for priority shipping. I knew it would be a long wait, so I was prepared. There was a man who was having some troubles with his mail delivery waiting for his turn at […]
Wonderful Women
I had lunch with a friend today. As we talked about our current state of life, our children, and our grandchildren, it was rather remarkable what a similar path our lives have taken. It was so good to be able to talk with each other who really understood the highs and lows and the emotions […]
Bringing Down the Pressure
Recently, my dad has been having some problems with erratic blood pressure, so we called his cardiologist last week. We spoke to the nurse on call who we have found to be a very helpful service. She talked with his doctor, gave us some guidance for the weekend, and made an appointment to see him […]
Uplifting Despite Hardships
I spent some time this afternoon with a group of young people who came to the church to help pack Christmas food baskets for people who are in need. The event was organized by the group who works with teens in the foster care system. I had met several of the kids before as I […]
Go Play Outside
My dad was trying hard to feel better today. We went out for a little walk. Then, since it was a warmish day, we put some Christmas lights on the bushes. At lunch we talked about how being outside, getting fresh air, and moving makes you feel better. We talked about how moms used to […]
Sicky Day
Neither one of my parents slept well last night. Neither one felt real good today. We spoke to some doctors, ate light, and napped. Despite that, we all got through and were even somewhat productive. We were all glad when the end of the day came and we could just go to bed. I Found […]
