Beating the Devil’s Tactics
I seem to get more notifications on my phone than I know what to do with. I usually go through them a couple times a day and delete, delete, delete. As I was swiping them away this evening, I stopped and watched a video that caught my eye called, “How to Beat the 3 Tactics […]
Hopeful Healing
We have been praying for my mom’s friend’s son-in-law since he was diagnosed with Leukemia a few years ago. He has received several treatments with differing outcomes. Right now he is cancer free. It has been a long road and he has been very isolated to keep him as free as possible from diseases. Of […]
Grandma’s Day
My mom looks at her calendar every day so she can keep track of what’s going on. A couple days ago she spotted “Grandparents Day” was approaching. She noted it every day and complained that nobody ever says anything about it or advertises for it. Perhaps it has become overshadowed by the terrorist attack on […]
Double Peace Signs
Now, this may sound strange, but it made me smile for several reasons. I was out and about today in the cool drizzle and had to stop at a big box store. As I drove into the parking lot, a couple of people were entering the crosswalk in front of me, so I stopped. Everyone […]
Breath of Air
It has been so hot here for the past few days, that we have pretty much stayed inside with the air conditioner running. Last night, however, a cold front came through and cooled things off. We stepped outside later in the morning and breathed in the cool air. We went for a nice walk, then […]
Rest and Reflection
I have been super tired the last couple days, so I was very happy that our friend came over today to stay with my mom for a couple of hours. I visited my son and his wife who are celebrating their 20th wedding anniversary today. Then I spent some quiet time in church as I […]
Resting Day
The sleepless weekend at the cabin took a little bit of a toll on my mother. She slept long and hard last night, which was great for me because I slept as well. She got up this morning later than usual, took her first set of pills, and went back to bed. A few hours […]
Soothing Weekend
My mom, sister, and I were happy that we were able to spend the 3-day weekend at the cabin. It had been almost 2 years since we had spent an overnight there. When we used to go on a regular basis, typically the first night was difficult perhaps due to the travel, the higher altitude, […]
Reality Check
One of the Mass readings today was from the book of Wisdom. The priest that we listened to said that, “Unless we have the Wisdom of God, we cannot know reality.” All of us can look at any event and have multiple opinions on what is happening or what the meaning is, causing chaos and […]
Back to the Cabin
My mom, sister, and I decided to make a trip to the cabin today. We knew it would be a bittersweet adventure. My mom and I went up briefly for a couple of hours a couple weeks ago. Other than that, the last time we went was over a year ago with my dad. He […]
