Following Childhood Dreams

Today my family celebrated my sister’s birthday. She and her husband recently bought a house and land – sort of a mini-ranch. They have been doing a lot of repairs and improvements before they move in. After we had lunch together, my sister talked about how excited she is to live out there and work the land. […]

Day One

Today I had an appointment in the neighborhood of my parents old home. I lived there from 7th grade until I moved out of the state when I was in my mid 30’s. After my appointment I drove by the house. It looked pretty much the same as I remembered, but with a different front […]

Long Lived Intimacy

My mom has not been feeling well for quite some time, so it has been a while since she has done any regular household shopping. Today she had enough energy for a quick trip to the department store. She picked up a few things including new underwear for both her and my dad. When we […]

It has gotten to the point where people are ordering it in advance. We (her family) have been telling her she should try […]

A Vision Fulfilled

This evening I watched the big game. I was so happy to see that the vast majority of the commercials had a positive message. It seemed that there was a concerted effort to make the game more family friendly. Even the half time show was void of moments in which you would need to shield […]

In The Beginning

So, this is the new beginning to my daily “God-sightings”. Since my decision to start a new blog at the beginning of the year, it took me a while to figure out where to post, then how to use a new program, a new format, and decide what to say. Hopefully from here on out, […]
