Awesome Beauty of Creation
It started out to be a gorgeous day. My brother who is visiting and I went out for a walk first thing. The deep blue sky was cloudless and the mountains jetted up in the background as green and lush as I have ever seen, except for the treeless top and a few pockets of snow […]
Scooter in the Store
Today my mom and I made a trip to Target to get birthday presents for my grandson. We brought her walker which makes it easier for her to walk, but even with that she can only go for a certain time and distance. The last time we were in the store, we tried to figure […]
Made It
When my brother came to visit for Christmas, he had one of his back pain episodes. It was tough to see him struggle. He could barely get around and eventually we had to call the paramedics. It got better, but it is a weak spot for him. A few months ago, he scheduled some time […]
Mountaintop Memorial
A friend of my parents from their mountain cabin neighborhood passed away a few months ago. She suffered many years with Alzheimer’s and the husband did such an amazing job taking care of her. Even when she was unable to communicate, he traveled with her, brought her around for visits and made sure she was always […]
Taking Action
Recently, when I was out for my morning walk, I noticed that there is a lot of litter on the grass next to the sidewalk – especially along the main road. I thought that it would be a good idea to just grab a bag and go along my route picking up trash. But that […]

A few months ago, my brother moved to the area with but a few belongings and his dog. He is spending some time at the family “cabin” up in the mountains. When he arrived there a couple weeks ago, he discovered that the water cistern was leaking and that water was running out from the top […]

Over 20 years ago, I worked with a group of people at a local retailer. Some of us became pretty close and kept in touch – mostly through one particular person. We called one of the guys “Fr. Jim”. I guess we always thought he would make a great priest. He did in fact become […]
A Story of Forgiveness
Today I came across a moving video from a young man who was bullied in high school and able to forgive those who tormented him. He held onto the truth of who he is in God. Here is the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BotF8PjxOIU I Found God today in the story of a young man able to forgive […]
Psalm 121
A couple weeks ago I came across the TV show “American Ninja Warrior”. I was first taken by the incredible athleticism of those trying to make it through the obstacle course. Then I heard some of the stories of the contestants and got hooked. There are so many stories about the obstacles that the people […]
Remembering Workcamp
Each year, the church that I used to work for has a group of teens and adults participate in a Group Workcamp. I knew they would be headed out soon and they have been on my mind. Today I saw a couple pictures and posts from 2 of the wonderful ladies that I know who […]
