Baby
Courageous Young Mother
Today in church, the priest talked about the evil of abortion and how it seems to be pushed upon us as a society in every arena. He also discussed how good can and will overcome evil as long as there are people willing to stand up and fight for it. This reminded me of a […]
Switching Prayers
The other day I talked with a young woman I know who is expecting her first baby soon. She found a lump a few weeks ago and ended up having a tumor removed. Needless to say, she was pretty worried about it being cancerous and the doctors seemed to be taking a long time in […]
Whirlwind Trip
It has been a whirlwind the last couple of days as I continued to travel. The day after the wedding, I had breakfast with the bride’s parents. After a few minutes, the bride and her new husband came in. It was unexpected and joyful. Then, the bride’s dad and some of his friends had the […]
Promising Words
This evening I went to a training session for people who are working with kids who are in foster care. I have been part of a group of adults who get together with the high school youth to be another source of support to them. The training session was on brain development. The presenter talked […]

Moms Showing Baby Pix
My nephew who joined the Navy was able to get some time off and is in the area. This evening we made plans to get together and meet his new girlfriend. That reminded my mom of a funny story. She dated a young man in the Navy for a short while. During that time, he […]
New Mother’s Excitement
I went to my hair stylist today and she announced that she is pregnant. It was very cute, because instead of “I” she used the term “we”. The only time she talked in the singular was when she was talking about the way she felt and changes to her body. She said, “We are expecting […]
Twinkle, Twinkle, Grammy
My parents and I were outside this afternoon enjoying the fresh air before the storms were to roll in. As we were admiring the garden, my phone rang for a video chat. I saw it was my son and answered, hoping there would be some sort of service out there. Luckily, there was. The picture […]
