Humility
Who Is Greatest
My dad and I went to church this evening as he and my mom have an event tomorrow. Unfortunately, my mom was feeling pretty dizzy today, so she did not come. We are hoping that she feels better tomorrow. One of the scriptures in church was Mark 9:30-37. In this reading, Jesus’ disciples argue about who […]
Love, Support, Prayers
Today I received an unexpected card and note from a far away friend. It was full of news and encouragement. I was touched most deeply by knowing that she prays for me often. It is heart warming and humbling. I Found God today in love, support, and prayers from far away.

He has been watching the video course and reading the accompanying book and said that he needed to go back and review it […]
Typewriter Artist
Today I saw a video that has been around for a year already, but this is the first time I have watched it. It is about Paul Smith, a man who has cerebral palsy. He also has an incredible gift – he is a “typewriter artist”. He uses only 10 keys on a typewriter and […]
It’s Not Fair
The Gospel reading at church today included probably the most famous verse, John 3:16, “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son so that whoever believes in Him will not perish, but have eternal life.” The priest told a very touching story: A very faithful man died and went to […]
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 […]
