Calling Coincidence
My mom has been thinking a lot about my nephew the past couple of days. Today my dad wore his “Navy Grandpa” t-shirt. It has been too long since we have talked with him and even longer since we have seen him in person. Tonight he called. He told us all about his job, his […]
Problem Solving
Sometimes I feel like every day something else goes wrong. It can be very frustrating. This morning we read the meditation from the book, “Jesus Always” by Sarah Young.

Through Mom’s View
I have been helping the church by stuffing some mailings for them. It has been easy to bring home the materials and put them together. My mom has been helping quite a bit too. When I asked her this evening how she found God, she said it was in stuffing envelopes. She explained that she […]
