Showing Love
Last night my dad was so tired, he fell asleep on the sofa. My mom wanted him to go to bed, but instead she covered him up and played him a lullaby on the piano. My dad woke up momentarily and thanked her for being so thoughtful. Small things, perhaps, but this is how my […]
I Am Forgiven
The scripture readings at church today were focused on God’s immense forgiveness. In Luke 7:36—8:3 , Jesus was having a meal with some of the church leaders of the time. A “sinful woman” came in, knowing who Jesus was, and started to wait on him. The owner of the home was appalled that Jesus allowed the woman […]
Joyful Relationships
My parents and I made it back to the cabin this weekend. It has been over a year since they have been able to spend so much time here. They got in touch with 2 friends who live in the area who came over for dinner. I like to entertain and plan events, so I […]
Oh! Canada! — Rover Travels
Tom and I finally made it into Canada! We hooked up our den-on-wheels early in the morning and reached the border around lunchtime. There was another one of those little roadside dens on the other side. We’ve been seeing these tiny dens right along the road all the time since we reached the Atlantic Ocean […] […]
A Fascinating Ministry
Today I took the car over to the local car wash to get a good cleaning. It was a beautiful day, so I waited outside as the workers washed it inside and out. As I sat on the bench, I gave my sister a call. We talked about times we might be able to get […]
Can Still Teach
My dad spent 25 years in the Air Force working as a meteorologist. After he retired, he spent 20 years teaching physics at a local college. He also wanted to teach about space, but did not find a suitable college text book. So he wrote one. He has taken groups of people to observatories and […]
The Hand Made Sign
Every time I drive by a certain street corner, there is a man there who holds a hand made sign and waves it as he walks around. Typically, there are too many words on the sign to read while you are driving by. Today I went to lunch with my mom and her friend. We […]
Well Cared For
A few weeks back a friend of mine thought it would be fun to participate in a “mud run”. Unfortunately, as she landed from one obstacle, she felt searing pain in both her legs. The doctor found that she had a torn quad tendon and did surgery on one leg. She still had a lot […]
A Church Closes
Today at Mass, the scripture readings were about first Elijah raising a child from the dead, and then Jesus doing the same thing. The priest talked about how we experience loss. I thought about the loss I have experienced in my life. There have been deaths of family and friends, which is typically what we […]
Flicker
It was a beautiful day in the mountains today. I took a short walk with my mom and a long walk with my dad. We took notice of all the flowers, bushes, and trees blooming almost as we watched. We walked down to a creek at the bottom of a hill where the forest floor […]
