Apartment Intervention
I met up with my prayer group and one of the ladies told us that she was moving. We were all surprised. We knew that the circumstances in her current apartment were not very good, but didn’t know she was looking for a new place. Evidently, she really wasn’t, but said that God planned the […]
Passing the Cabin Along
A couple of months ago, my siblings and I agreed to sell the family cabin. It was a difficult decision to make but needed to be done. While I was on my road trip, we had a family come look at the place. Then they looked again. And again. Thankfully, my brother was up there […]
Home Safe
This morning I got up early, ate the quick free breakfast at the hotel, and hit the road. I started by driving through a scenic forest and wildlife preserve that I wanted to see. The views were stunning and the windy road included a couple of super narrow 1 car tunnels, which were very fun […]
Family Bonds
My friend who was visiting has done a tremendous amount of research into her and her husband’s family history. She was very passionate about the project and excited to tell me about the different people they have been in touch with. I thought about the genealogy work that my dad did and shared the albums […]
My Friends Are Here
A couple months ago, some friends of mine said they would like to visit. I was elated and started thinking about setting up a room for them and what fun things we could do. I enjoyed getting things cleaned up and organized as the time for their visit got closer. Today was the day. When […]
Free Yardwork
I do occasionally waste time scrolling through Facebook videos and such. One set of videos that I have enjoyed is of a young man who has his own lawn care company and does work for free for people who are in need. He takes on yards that are extremely overgrown for one reason or another. […]
Having Guests
I really had a hankering for shepherds pie for St. Patrick’s Day and wanted to make some Irish soda bread to go with it. That makes so much food and I thought it would be fun to share it. I invited my sons and their families over. Most of them had other plans. So my […]
Origin Story
Today at work, an older couple came in to pick up their tax return. We chatted for quite some time and they told me about the husband’s grandfather who immigrated here from Czechoslovakia. After he arrived, he settled in the Western Plains and was a homesteader. The couple was still living on that same property. […]
That’s Perseverance
My neighbors just returned from another mission trip. They had gone every year, but recently the wife had health issues and they thought perhaps their travelling days were over. However, upon her recovery, they discerned that God was still calling them to the work, even though they are well into their 70’s. This time they […]
My Safe Haven
Several weeks ago, I had some problems in my bedroom and moved everything out, including myself. I will spare you the details, but know it was a very unpleasant experience. It was particularly disturbing because I have always felt that my room is my one safe haven. Today I decided that things seemed to be […]
