Answer
Go Outside
I have been going to physical therapy as my back has been not cooperating with me for some time now. For me, it is difficult not to just push through pain to do what I would like to do. But, I am trying to live in that balance between full speed ahead and not being […]
Kind to Myself
As I was listening to the radio today, I heard an introduction to the song, “Kind to Myself”, by Tenth Avenue North. The singer explained that we are so quick to put ourselves down and get frustrated with our own behavior. However, God sees through all that and loves us the way we are. This […]
Long Phone Call
I had some things on my mind today and felt I needed help making sense of it, so I reached out to a friend. She called me almost immediately and we talked for over an hour. We shared similar experiences and she did, in fact, help me to sort out the things in my mind. […]
Rest
I have been busy this week and pretty physically active. This morning I felt it. My body and back were aching and I was moving pretty slowly. With the many options of the day before me, I prayed and asked God what He would have me do. As I sat silently, I was aware of […]
Sharing Cells
Today I heard a fascinating presentation about the somewhat recent discovery of how the baby in the womb shares cells with his or her mother. It’s called microchimerism. It’s been known that mother and baby share cells through the placenta. However, recently scientists found that a woman who carried a male baby had the male […]

Today was the meeting day with my prayer group. However, it was super cold. Not only that, some members weren’t feeling well. One of the gentlemen set up a Zoom meeting and all but one of us was able to attend. It was especially important as one of the ladies had recently experienced a tragedy […]
Finished the Book
Today I finished the book “The Five People You Meet in Heaven” by Mitch Albom. It only took me 4 days, which is unbelievable to me. As I was talking with my sister about it, I think the last full book I finished reading for pleasure was a Nancy Drew in Jr. High School. From […]
Shoveling Relief
It snowed a little last night as a very cold front moves through the area. In the complex where I live, the HOA pays for snow removal if it snows 3″ or more. Unfortunately for me, there was only 1″-2″ outside. I waited to see if it would snow again and perhaps make it up […]
Extreme Life Makeover
I used to love watching Extreme Home Makeover. It always included a feel good story. So, I was happy to see it was coming back. I watched the first episode tonight and it didn’t disappoint. The story was about a family who lost their husband and father, 3 years ago. He was also a pastor. […]
Close to the Broken hearted
Today I watched a video by Dallas Jenkins who is the creator of the Chosen series. He was talking about the apocalyptic fires in Los Angeles and the big question, “Where is God in all this?” I thought he made some good points that gave me pause to ponder. Time and time again in the […]
