Near Accident
After a cancelled flight the other day, my son finally made it in for a visit. His girlfriend and I went to the airport in the “big city” to pick him up. It was so good to see him walk through the arrival area. My nephew lives in the city, so we decided to meet up […]
Got Good News
I took my mom to two doctor’s appointments today – her primary care physician and her cardiologist. These are probably the two most important and trusted doctors that she has. She explained how she was feeling – which is not bad for the most part but tired a lot. They both checked her out, asked lots […]
Merry Christmas Wish
I went to the post office today to get my Christmas packages in the mail before having to pay a ridiculous amount for priority shipping. I knew it would be a long wait, so I was prepared. There was a man who was having some troubles with his mail delivery waiting for his turn at […]
Bringing Down the Pressure
Recently, my dad has been having some problems with erratic blood pressure, so we called his cardiologist last week. We spoke to the nurse on call who we have found to be a very helpful service. She talked with his doctor, gave us some guidance for the weekend, and made an appointment to see him […]
Sicky Day
Neither one of my parents slept well last night. Neither one felt real good today. We spoke to some doctors, ate light, and napped. Despite that, we all got through and were even somewhat productive. We were all glad when the end of the day came and we could just go to bed. I Found […]
More Than Physical

Bored No More
My travelling brother has been in one location for a couple of weeks now – not completely by his choice. He has been having a problem with the propane in his trailer and is working out how to get it fixed. Besides that, there has been bad weather in his area. He called this morning bored […]
Reexamining Repentance
My parents and I went to church this evening. Part of the scripture that was read was about John the Baptist. He told everyone to get ready for Jesus as He was coming soon. He also warned people to repent. Often we think of repentance as a humiliating process – particularly if we go to […]
Helping Me Help Mom
After my mom recovered from her most recent hospital stay a couple of months ago, we decided to go to the Parkinson’s Disease support group in our area. Since we are “newcomers”, we were invited to attend a special presentation called “Parkinson’s 101”. We have gained so much information already from the group and were happy […]
Safe During the Storm
My brother has been traveling all around the country and Canada with his trailer and his dog. He has been staying at various campgrounds and moving on a whim. He has been staying at a particular place for over a week. It was crowded over the holiday weekend, but recently everyone moved out and he has […]
