Spiritual and Astronomical Connection
Today a far away friend called unexpectedly. I grinned when I saw her name pop up on my phone. It has been quite a long time since we have talked. She has always been somewhat of a spiritual mentor to me as she shares her strong faith unapologetically. As we spoke, my heart was filled […]
Sharing Joy
Today I brought my parents over to my son’s new house. They took the tour in 2 segments, resting between staircases. My son explained all the technicalities to my dad while my mom commented on some of the extra niceties she noticed. It warmed my heart to see my son so happy and proudly sharing […]
Comfort of Christmas
We have been preparing for Christmas a little at a time for the past couple weeks. Got the outside lights up earlier, Christmas cards in the mail, gifts purchased, packages shipped, and nativity set on the piano. Whew! My sister came over today and helped us put up the Christmas tree. We sang a little […]
TSO Livestream
For several years I have tried to make the Trans-Siberian Orchestra Christmas program part of my annual celebration. This year they cancelled their tour due to the coronavirus. However, they offered a live streaming event. When I found out about it, I made the purchase. I figured it was a small price to pay and […]
Embrace the Broccoli
I talked with a friend today about how I shop for groceries now using the order ahead and pick up at the store process. I don’t even have to get out of the car – they just put the food right in the trunk. It is not a perfect system, as sometimes I don’t get […]
Still Riding
Today, a woman told a story that exemplifies the meaning of true love. She is in her late 70’s and cares for her ailing husband. They live on a ranch and have had horses forever. It is getting too much for her to do now on her own as her husband can no long help. […]
Christmas Candle
My parents and I were looking for something to watch on TV tonight. We have watched a couple of those sappy Christmas movies where you can accurately predict the plot in the first 5 minutes. You know the main characters will fall in love with each other by the end of the drama. We wanted […]
Why Does God Allow Evil
In my Bible class tonight, we read through the book of the prophet Habakkuk. He raises the question to God one that we have all wrestled with since the beginning of time – Why does God allow evil? Habakkuk cried out to God since from his perspective, evil was flourishing and good was dwindling. He […]
Pray Without Ceasing
I went outside to shovel this morning and met my neighbor out there. She had already “been to church”. The message that she heard was that we can have joy in any circumstance. We may not always be “happy”, but our hearts can remain joyful if we know, love, and trust God. Of course, we […]
Craft Day
It was cold and snowy outside today, so I thought it would be a good opportunity to do some crafts. I put on a big pot of chicken soup that could cook all day so dinner would be taken care of. Then I got out a bunch of things from my Christmas box such as […]
