The Transfiguration

I woke up too early this morning, so I rolled over, grabbed my rosary, and put on my rosary app to pray. Thursday is the Luminous Mysteries and the 4th one is the Transfiguration. For whatever reason, this is one of my favorite Bible stories. I remember the picture in my old Children’s Bible of […]

The Motor Home

I was visiting with an elderly couple today and they were reminiscing about when their 4 boys were younger. When they only had 2 boys and 1 on the way, they purchased a motor home. It was, of course, an old style with a small section that went over the cab. The boys would take […]

Such Strength

I have had a particular friend on my mind recently. Last I talked to her she was in the hospital and I wondered how she was doing. So, I gave her a call today. I was happy to hear that she was back at home recovering. She said she was a little frustrated as it […]

Response to Fear

I met with my prayer group today and we discussed the scripture Matthew 14:22-33. The most discussed topic was fear. A couple of statements that people shared really stood out to me: Fear weakens trust. Fear leads to misinterpreting God’s plans. I thought about these words a lot and how true they are. When I […]

Living His Dream

My grandson texted me yesterday saying that I would never guess what he would be doing last night. I made a lot of random guesses that were pretty funny and saved the best for last. He moved almost a year ago to chase his dream of working with race cars. He got a job with […]

Winning Gold

I was talking with an elderly gentleman today in his 90’s. He has trouble with his eyes and they always look red and irritated. I always wonder how much it effects his vision. I was actually driving behind him for a little bit and he seemed to do just fine. He told me about a […]

Swoop

My neighbor invited us over to play cards tonight and my brother and I were happy to join in. Her brother and his wife were visiting, so with her husband there were 6 of us. We learned a new game called swoop. It wasn’t too difficult, but still required an amount of strategy. I had […]

Getting Bigger

My son and daughter in law have been going to the doctor twice a week to have ultrasound checks on their baby. She has been very tiny for a long time and the doctor doesn’t really know why. She was in the 1 percentile for size, which is why they started monitoring her so often. […]

Days God Gave

I had some weird dreams last night. One of them was about packing books. There were people at the house moving things out and they were waiting for me to get the books packed, which was never ending. I would wake up and remember that I didn’t need to pack anything right now. Then I […]

Leaking Windows

I was at an elderly couple’s house today helping them out when a thunderstorm rolled through. It has been such a long time since they have had any rain in their area, and we were wondering if it would actually happen. We could see the dark clouds coming closer and closer and hear the thunder […]
