On My Mind
A young woman I have known for many years has been in the forefront of my mind and heart for the past couple of days. When I would think of her, I would pray for her. We touch base every now and again via social media, but I haven’t spoken to her in a very […]
True Love and Joy
In church today, the priest addressed a couple of things on my mind. The first is that we – people – all have the same overarching desire to be known completely and loved fully and unconditionally by another person. But due to that fact that all other people are as imperfect as we are, that […]
Mailing the Box
Today we got another package ready for Christmas mailing, but it was later in the day when I got to the post office. The main counters were already closed, but there are 3 do-it-yourself kiosks in the lobby. I have used them before and they are pretty handy. I got the postage on the box […]
Supportive Groups
We had 3 events today. My mom went to her exercise class in the morning. I had a caregiver’s support group/class in the afternoon. And tonight I met with my prayer group. In each event, at least one person expressed their gratitude for the group – particularly for the other people present. In each session, […]

At church today, the priest told of a little girl who was learning about Jesus nearing Christmas time. She asked how all of God could fit into a little baby? He said that was a good question. Not only is God fully and completely in Jesus, He is in each one of us too. The […]

Ironically, the date on the letter was the same as that of his sudden death. He must have written the letter and […]
Five Year Change
Today at my aquatic aerobics class, people were talking about how they have changed in the past 5 years. One person said they learned more about who they are. One said they are more patient. One who retired a few years ago talked about how they are now OK with not being busy every second […]
Timely Problem
Yesterday my dad and I went out to run some errands. Our first stop was the post office. I let my dad go in to take care of his business while I sat in the car and waited. I put the radio on, laid the seat back, and closed my eyes for a few minutes. […]
Generous Strangers
Today my mom, dad, and I went to church then our usual spot for brunch. It was very busy as always on a Sunday. After a while, some spaces cleared out and new people came to fill them, including 3 young women Air Force cadets. I was pondering buying their meals for them, but just […]
