Cooked Oven
A few weeks ago, I pushed a button to select a burner on the stove and it made a loud POP. I was terrified. We tested it after it cooled down and it seemed to be OK, so I continued to use it. The other day I turned on one of the other burners and […]
Encouragement From a Stranger
Today a friend of my parents came over and we went out to lunch. They told her the story of an experience they had at the store. My dad took my mom and her new walker to the place where he purchased it to make sure he had set it up correctly and if there […]
Faith Filled Messages
Recently, I felt like I should be giving my faith a little kick and commit to digging deeper in some way. In the past couple of days, I have received several unexpected emails from friends I have not seen in a while. It was an eclectic group – a priest, former employer, spiritual mentor, and a […]
Good News Friday
Today I was inundated with good news from immediate and extended family. There is a potential house purchase that is progressing, much needed job opportunity, successful cancer surgery, recovery from a severe health issue, prom night, my grandson made a long awaited hit in his opening baseball game, and to top it off I found […]
Renewed Dog
I adopted my dog 11 years ago. She was already 3 years old at the time and had been given up at least twice. She seemed to have the qualities in a dog that we were looking for and would fit into the family, so my son and I brought her home. It took her quite […]
Inspirational Music
Tonight my mom, dad, and I played a couple rousing games of UNO. We always laugh a lot when we play games together. Then, I started going through my day to decide what to blog about. My mom sat down at her grand piano and played a piece that she and her friend play together. I […]
Because He Lives
Easter Sunday – one of my favorite days of the year. I awoke with songs going through my head all about how Jesus Christ died so that each of us may have eternal life. I took my dog out early and saw an amazing sunrise. I was happy that we sang some of the songs […]
Sis’ New Job
My sister was not treated very well at her last job. She was yelled at, cursed at, and made to feel like she was incompetent. It hurt me to know she had to endure that treatment and to see her so depressed. I was glad that she decided to go ahead and look for a […]
Lost Dog
It was beautiful outside today, so I decided to go for a nice long walk. My poor old dog cannot handle these any more, so I sadly had to leave her in the house. I was going to take one route, then changed my mind and took another. I noticed a man on the other […]
A Near Miss
Tonight I went to meet some friends for dinner. On my route, I realized that I was making the same trip I did to work many years ago. I got to a certain place in the road and remembered a time when God took my breath away: One morning I was on my way to […]
