Testimonies on DWTS
My mom and I watched our favorite show together tonight – Dancing With the Stars. On week 4, each contestant talks about their most memorable year, then portrays it in their dance. It is always a very emotional show and this one did not disappoint. There were several mentions of faith and God. Two songs were actually […]
Peter’s Dilemma
We celebrated Palm Sunday again this year and listened to the Gospel of the arrest and crucifixion of Jesus Christ. Even though I have heard it many times over, there was one specific part that stood out to me. It was the story of Peter and his relationship with Jesus. Perhaps because it seems very […]
The Easter Lily
My mom and I went to the Parkinson’s support group this afternoon. I learn so much when we go to these meetings and meet wonderful people. The meetings end with a potluck lunch. There is a chaplain who reads a little meditation and prayer before we eat. Today she talked about how the shape of the […]
Option Two
We took advantage of the mild weather today and headed to the cabin in the mountains for the day. We decided ahead of time that we would stay a little longer since it stays light longer and stop for dinner on the way home. After enjoying the day, we surprised ourselves when we got in […]
Finally a Letter
My sister finally received a letter today from her son in boot camp. She called and read the letter to us in her excitement. Evidently, it is customary to extract the wisdom teeth of the recruits. This has been on my sister’s mind. She was wondering if the teeth had been pulled and how her […]
The Rest of the Story
My mom said she read my blog from yesterday and that there was more to the story. She said she memorized the Warsaw Concerto to perform in a high school competition. She was working on her voice training too and decided to perform a song as well. I asked which was harder. She said the piano […]
A Concerto
The other day, my mom found a folder of piano music that she had been looking for. Today she sat at the piano and went through some of the pieces. Many of them had her maiden name written on them, making them more than 65 years old. I looked at the complicated chords, runs, and […]
Thundersnow
The forecast called for stormy weather this afternoon and tomorrow, so I headed out to run errands and get to the grocery store before that happened. When I got to the grocery store which was my last stop, I spotted some pretty dark clouds just above me. They looked like thunderstorms to me and the […]
Aunt Anticipation
My parents will be celebrating their 65th wedding anniversary in a couple of weeks. They decided to have a small party at the house and we got busy sending out invitations. My mom’s sister is the only living immediate family member for both of my parents. She lives very far away and they haven’t been […]
Reconnecting
I have had the pleasure of keeping in touch with a few of the youth that I have known from when I was a youth minister. One in particular was married last year and they just had their first child. The little baby had some immediate health issues. Thankfully, they were able to get things under […]
