Back Outside
After a rainy day yesterday, I was happy to see the sun shining this morning. I was still at the cabin, which makes it even more beautiful. After breakfast, my brother and I went out and did a little work on the gravel driveway. There were some pretty deep ruts that the rain had worsened, […]
Morning Thunderstorm
I decided to spend a couple days at the cabin with my brother and arrived yesterday. I woke up early this morning as usual and it was still dark outside. Before I laid back down to close my eyes, something caught my attention. I thought I saw a bright light flash through the window. I […]
Simple Beauty
As part of my new routine, I have decided to walk every day. This evening I walked as the sun was low in the sky. The Black-eyed Susans, which look like mini sunflowers, grow wild in the fields and were in full bloom running right along the sidewalk. As I was enjoying them I caught […]
God Does Not Love
We had a guest priest at church today. He was from the poorest Diocese in Kentucky and was asked to be a missionary. He was very exuberant and it was easy to see why he was chosen for the job. Before he became a priest he was an actor and musician and was even in […]
Pinks, Peace, and Prayer
A friend came over to the house this evening and we sat outside on the porch to visit. The sky was full of a variety of clouds. Some were low and flat, others were higher or puffy. And there was an occasional piece of blue sky that peeked through. There was no wind and a […]
Spiritual Thirst
After my dad died 2 years ago, a friend gave me the book, A Shepherd Looks at Psalm 23, by W. Phillip Keller. I have been trying to read it a little more recently. The book is interesting because the author, as suggested by the title, was a shepherd. As a Christian, he was able […]
Death and Life
Today the church had a Mass and luncheon especially for those who are grieving. My friend whose husband died a few months ago and I went together. At Mass, the responsorial was Deuteronomy 32:39, “It is I who bring both death and life.” I often think about the end of both my dad’s and my […]
Healing and Grateful
My neighbor and friend had been having severe pain in her stomach and intestines for a couple of months. She had been back and forth to doctors and emergency rooms until finally she had to have extensive emergency surgery on her intestines. Even when that was done, there were problems with infections. She spent over […]
Wood Troll
My friend and I greeted today from the cabin. During breakfast we talked about what to do and decided to go into town. My friend looked up a place to get a good cup of coffee. That was our only goal for the day. When we got into town, we went into the casino that […]
God’s Country
When I thought about what to do when my friend was here for a visit, I realized it would be a great opportunity to go to the cabin. So, today my brother went to the house in the city, and my friend and I went to the cabin. She was in awe just from the […]
