Couldn’t Blink
Going to the dentist is perhaps the thing I dread most – it’s hard for me to open my mouth wide, or for very long. Today’s visit was torturous as anticipated, but was a pretty funny story as I look back on it being fully functional. I am very sensitive to any medication. At one […]
Patience in Traffic
Today I had a few errands to run. I figured it would take me about an hour. I left a little bit later than I had intended and everywhere I went there was traffic and road construction. It took me a half an hour to get to a store when it should have taken only […]
Calling Coincidence
My mom has been thinking a lot about my nephew the past couple of days. Today my dad wore his “Navy Grandpa” t-shirt. It has been too long since we have talked with him and even longer since we have seen him in person. Tonight he called. He told us all about his job, his […]
Problem Solving
Sometimes I feel like every day something else goes wrong. It can be very frustrating. This morning we read the meditation from the book, “Jesus Always” by Sarah Young. It said that troubles come to keep us thinking – to keep our brains working on problem solving. If we didn’t have problems to solve, we would […]
Helpful Info and Community
My mom does a lot of reading and stays abreast of current events, nutrition, and medical information. Today she read an article about Parkinson’s Disease that gave her a new perspective of her illness. It said the big problem is that the brain forgets how to do normal things such as walking and even talking. […]
Interwoven Lives
My mom and I are excited for craft fair season, so we visited a couple of them today. We had lunch at one and found a place to sit in the small crowded seating area. As I was getting our food, an elderly woman asked my mom if there was a spare seat. The table was […]
Successful Surgery
A woman I know fell and broke her arm a few weeks ago. The doctors decided that her whole shoulder needed to be replaced. She had been on my mind and in my prayers. I found out today that she had the surgery and it went better than expected. That was very good news. I […]
Love Yourself
Tonight I met with a “Small Church Community” that I connected with a few months ago. I really enjoy being with them and discussing faith. Tonight we talked about the scripture when Jesus announces the two greatest commandments – to love God with all your heart, soul, and mind; and to love your neighbor as […]
What Belongs to God
Today, the Gospel reading at church included Jesus’ famous response, “… repay (render) to Caesar what belongs to Caesar and to God what belongs to God.” I thought the priest gave a great interpretation of the message. Perhaps I had heard it before, but it really struck me. The coin that was used to pay the Roman […]
Still Walking
Due to her physical ailments, I think my mom has come to the grocery store with me maybe once or twice since I moved here 3 years ago. I had to make a grocery store run today and she decided to come along and help. So off we went. We split up the list and […]
