Appreciating Life
Last night we received a phone call. You know – the one where the phone rings late and you know it is probably bad news. It was. It was my cousin telling us that my aunt had passed away. This is my dad’s sister. Of course there were tears before we made our way to […]
Looking Up To Mom
As I was waiting in line at the post office today, I heard a little boy tell his mom, “When I turn 18, I am going into the Army just like you!”. The woman must not have like the idea too much, because he then said, “Dad said I can.” This simple little exchange really […]
Order on Earth
Some of my family live in another part of the country from me. Their weather always seems to be the opposite of what is going on where I live. My parents and I were talking about it today. My dad was a meteorologist in the Air Force for many years and described how there are jet streams […]
Following Childhood Dreams
Today my family celebrated my sister’s birthday. She and her husband recently bought a house and land – sort of a mini-ranch. They have been doing a lot of repairs and improvements before they move in. After we had lunch together, my sister talked about how excited she is to live out there and work the land. […]
Long Lived Intimacy
My mom has not been feeling well for quite some time, so it has been a while since she has done any regular household shopping. Today she had enough energy for a quick trip to the department store. She picked up a few things including new underwear for both her and my dad. When we […]
The Newest Family Member
Today I got one of the best surprises ever! My older son sent me the first picture of my newest grandchild – as an ultrasound. My daughter-in-law is 12 weeks along now and has been struggling with morning, afternoon, night – well ALL the time sickness. So it was wonderful to see that the little one […]
Extraordinary Series of Events
My sister has several talents. Among them is her ability to make an amazingly delicious specialty candy. For a few years now she has been making it for family, co-workers, and friends. It has gotten to the point where people are ordering it in advance. We (her family) have been telling her she should try […]
A Vision Fulfilled
This evening I watched the big game. I was so happy to see that the vast majority of the commercials had a positive message. It seemed that there was a concerted effort to make the game more family friendly. Even the half time show was void of moments in which you would need to shield […]
In The Beginning
So, this is the new beginning to my daily “God-sightings”. Since my decision to start a new blog at the beginning of the year, it took me a while to figure out where to post, then how to use a new program, a new format, and decide what to say. Hopefully from here on out, […]
