Crossing to Adulthood
Today is my nephew’s 21st birthday. I have recently been going through old photos and came across several of him when he was younger. Now he is a young adult and serving in the military. I mean, I know that is what happens, but for some reason it is still hard to believe. I smile […]
An Off Day
Early this morning I was suddenly awakened by a loud clap of thunder. Then I heard the hail begin. I contemplated going outside and bringing my new little plants under cover. Then, I remembered a time when I tried to rescue some newly potted tomato plants during a storm. Just as I grabbed the pot, […]
Virtual Trip
My brother and his dog have been travelling around in his truck and trailer for a few months now. Recently, they headed up into Alaska. He shares some great pictures and videos of wildlife including bald eagles and baby owls. We are lucky to video chat with him several times a week. He will show […]
Changed Relationship
Tonight we went to a little dinner party for a friend of my mom. It included the group of music teachers that my mom has known for years, though the number has been gradually dwindling. They still get together to celebrate one another’s birthday. The guest of honor will be turning 87 years old. Her […]
Unusual Occurrences
We returned home today from a lengthy stay at the cabin. This was the longest time we have visited there since I have been with my parents. They both did great, although it was a very unusual few days. We always put the bird feeders out when we arrive, but this time no birds came. […]
Good Oxygen
As we spent time at the cabin, we brought an oxygen monitor just to check and see how much the altitude affects us. Both my mom and my dad had oxygen levels around 94, which is great. I did pretty good too. We talked about how lucky my parents are to still be able to […]
Found The Job
My sister had been diligently looking for work since she was laid off a few months ago. She was getting very frustrated and anxious due to the lack of response she was receiving. A month ago she did have an interview and they finally got back with her for a second interview the other day. […]
Amazing Weather Event
My parents and I made a trip up to the cabin today. When we arrived, we noticed the familiar yellow pollen from the pine trees had covered the deck. In the afternoon, some small thunderstorms moved in, but cleared enough to go out for a walk. My mom wanted to identify the numerous wildflowers that […]
Protection During Mission
Our neighbors returned from their month long mission trip working with Syrian refugees and we got together tonight. They had plenty of stories of how God was present during their trip. One was that while they were away, neither of them were ill despite the slums that they traveled through every day and the fact […]
Think
Today I went for a walk with a friend. I had taken the trail through the park a couple of times before. It passes the back of several apartments and homes that are bordered by fences. This time, I saw something different that caught my eye. On the fence that was facing the trail, there […]
