Prison Ministry

Today at church a deacon who worked in prison ministry spoke to the congregation. He started by pointing out the stained glass windows around the church. They each had the name of someone or a group of people who donated monetarily to have the window installed. That happened over 100 years ago. The deacon reminded […]

Windy Weather

I was awake unexpectedly early this morning and thought about going out to see if I could find any meteors from the shower that is happening right now. But then I heard the wind. I don’t like the wind at all. But I do like the sound of the trees blowing. So, I laid there […]

Beautiful Earth Day

My parents and I made our way up to the mountains today. It was such a gorgeous day. On the way we stopped for lunch at a place where we could watch the water rushing down a stream. We always enjoy searching for wildlife along the way and were happy that we got to see […]

Continued Progress

My mom and I went out shopping today. This does not happen very often and I was glad she was able to go. We got one of those motorized carts for her to drive around. It has been a few months since last time she used one, but she remembered how to work it. As […]

Faith Filled Gift

Today in the mail my mom received a rosary that has some holy water from Lourdes in it. She ordered it from a religious organization with the intent of sending it to her brother and his wife who seem to have an unending amount of medical issues. My mom wants them to know she is praying […]

Another Anniversary

Today my parents celebrated their 64th wedding anniversary. I started the day hearing my mom making a phone call to her doctor, so I went upstairs to see what was happening. My mother has a history of diverticulitis – an infection in the lower intestine. Evidently she woke up early this morning with sever pains […]

Making Changes

Yesterday as I talked to my sister, she said that she was determined to change the way she is doing some of her work to make it more productive and less stressful. I thought of the advice I heard a while ago from a priest friend who was helping me through a difficult time. He said […]

Shepherding

Today in church, this was one of the readings from the Bible: JOHN 10:27-30     Jesus said: “My sheep hear my voice; I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish. No one can take them out of my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all, and no […]

Jesus Christ Superstar

Today was a good day to stay indoors as we are having another spring snowstorm. Since Easter my mom has had the music from Jesus Christ Superstar going through her head. My sister had brought the movie over, but we didn’t get a chance to watch it. Today we took the time and popped in the […]

Inside A Mountain

Today my sister found that it is the 50th anniversary of NORAD – the military station inside of Cheyenne Mountain. Our dad worked there many, many years ago. At one time we were able to go inside and have Thanksgiving dinner there. I was a young child, so I remember only bits and pieces of […]
