Answer
Election Eve
When I went to stay with my daughter in law today, I brought along my ballot and “Blue Book” which gives a pretty thorough description of everything to be voted on. In the afternoon as I was working on it, my grandson came home from school and spotted the information. He said that they went […]
Yelling For Jesus
I went to church this evening for a change. It was much quieter than Sunday mornings when many families and children attend. The Gospel reading was about a blind man who wanted to be healed. He followed Jesus, yelling the whole while until he was noticed. He knew who Jesus was and he knew what […]
Working on Photos
We have hundreds of printed photos that my dad took. Some are framed, some are matted, and some are just loose prints. We have given many away and everyone in the family took what they wanted. We have been wondering what to do with the rest of them. A couple of months ago, I learned […]
The Dark Drive
Since my daughter in law is incapacitated from her ankle surgery a few days ago, I have been helping them out. Tonight I picked up one of my grandsons from an event. It was the first time I drove at night with my new glasses. It was wonderful. I don’t usually even drive at night. […]

Today I was looking through a scrapbook that my dad made of some of his award winning photos. I came across a picture of a cabin in the mountains that looked somewhat familiar. It turned out that it was one of the same places that I took a picture of when I drove the dirt […]
About the Medals
Today I had a medical appointment. The nurse noticed my necklace and asked about all the medals on it, which is quite a collection. I explained each one to her. I have a sturdy chain that holds a crucifix, a Miraculous Medal, St. Michael the Archangel, and the Guardian angel. Also, after my mom died, […]
Mercy, Not Punishment
It is a common thought and feeling that we aren’t good enough for God. We make mistakes, we hurt others and ourselves sometimes, we are selfish and want to do things our way. And once we discover the love God has for us, we realize how unworthy we are of that. Perhaps we think that […]
Gotta Get Glasses
Over thirty years ago, I had surgery done on my eyes to correct my vision. This was even before the laser surgery. I was so happy with the results and have been seeing clearly for years. It was such a blessing. As was expected, I have been wearing reading glasses for a few years now […]
Working Walker
My brother was going to run some errands today and asked if I needed anything. I looked at my list and remembered my mom’s broken walker. One night when she was struggling and up a lot and I was doing my best to help her, she kept unlocking her walker when it needed to be […]
Painful Yet Productive
Since we had the floors replaced in my parents’ room, we decided it was the time to sort through everything in there. Some of the items were painful memories of my dad’s time in the memory care center. Getting things ready to donate was also a sorrowful reminder that my mother is no longer here. […]
