New Foster Father
When I was working in youth ministry, I met many fellow workers in the field. It was such a great group of people who had a heart for God, a heart for youth, and a support to one another. I admired them individually in the many ways they lived their faith. Today, among all the […]
Changed Relationship
Tonight we went to a little dinner party for a friend of my mom. It included the group of music teachers that my mom has known for years, though the number has been gradually dwindling. They still get together to celebrate one another’s birthday. The guest of honor will be turning 87 years old. Her […]
Found The Job
My sister had been diligently looking for work since she was laid off a few months ago. She was getting very frustrated and anxious due to the lack of response she was receiving. A month ago she did have an interview and they finally got back with her for a second interview the other day. […]

Humbled By His Faithfulness
We had another wonderful day visiting with my dad’s cousin and his wife today. It had been over 20 years since I had seen them, so along with talking ancestry, we got caught up on life events. As I shared stories of my past several years, I realized – again – how God has led […]
No Mistakes
At church this morning, the priest gave us several examples of people who were trying to make a specific product, but made a “mistake” and ended up making something very different, by very wonderful. I thought of my sister’s coffee toffee. She started with a certain recipe, read the measurements incorrectly for some of the […]

My son who lives out east called me early this morning, which is unusual – especially during the work week. He told me that he had been having severe pains in his abdomen. He said he was pretty sure it was appendicitis. He went to the local emergicare and had a catscan that confirmed his […]
