Courageous Young Mother
Today in church, the priest talked about the evil of abortion and how it seems to be pushed upon us as a society in every arena. He also discussed how good can and will overcome evil as long as there are people willing to stand up and fight for it. This reminded me of a […]
Late Night Visitor
Last night just as I was getting into bed, I heard a strange noise. It sounded like an animal or bird of some kind. I walked around my room and decided it was coming from outside. I put on my slippers, threw a blanket around my shoulders, and went upstairs. I walked around up there […]
Drowned Pills
You never know what crazy things are going to happen around this house. Every night before bed, my mom sorts out her 17 pills on a chart I created for her so they will be ready for the next day. She puts a couple in her small pill box and brings them to her room […]
Switching Prayers
The other day I talked with a young woman I know who is expecting her first baby soon. She found a lump a few weeks ago and ended up having a tumor removed. Needless to say, she was pretty worried about it being cancerous and the doctors seemed to be taking a long time in […]
A Thoughtful Note
A while back a young couple I know visited the state and we were able to get together for dinner. I received a note from them in the mail today. Each of them took the time to write a short paragraph. It seems like handwritten notes sent in the mail are not very common. So, […]
Text From God
While I was so happy to spend time with my son and his family, the very short trip was more stressful than I anticipated, physically, mentally, and emotionally. You see, my previous husband got married during that time. I really tried to be OK, but it was difficult. It brought back memories, some anger, and […]
Sickly Homecoming
Today ended my short visit and I flew back home. When my first plane landed, all of a sudden I started sneezing uncontrollably. My eyes watered and my nose started running. I was glad it was at the end of the flight and that I had a lengthy layover so I could try to get […]
Good Grandson Time
I stayed with my son during my short trip and while I was there, he started getting a leak in his basement. This put a damper on things somewhat – literally. But, we still went to lunch with friends and family to celebrate the Confirmation. I enjoyed visiting with my daughter-in-law’s sister and mother. Later […]
Grandson’s Confirmation
The main reason for my trip was to attend my grandson’s Confirmation. After getting in late last night, I was up early this morning for the celebration. It was beautiful, of course, and I prayed the Holy Spirit really become a part of the lives of the young people who received the Sacrament. The bishop […]
Experiencing Genesis
Today I flew across the country to begin a quick visit. On the second leg of my flight, a very nice young man sat beside me. We chatted a bit, and I learned that he used to work across the street from one of the landmarks in the town I used to live in. He […]
