Life
Be Kind
I saw a quote from one of my favorite Christian artists, TobyMac, that read “There’s a stranger out there who still thinks of you because you were kind to them when they really needed it. Never stop being that person.” I thought those were beautiful words to live by. It reminded me of a t-shirt […]
Speed of God
This morning after breakfast, my brother hitched up his camper, fastened his dog in his truck, and left for the winter. He is heading to Arizona but will stop at beautiful sites on his way. After he left, I cleaned up the cabin a bit and enjoyed the fresh mountain air and scenery before I […]
Aunt’s Recovery
Today I called my aunt as I haven’t spoken to her for a while. The first thing she said was that she was thinking about me as she was falling asleep last night. She told me that she had a stroke at the end of June. She was in the hospital for about a week, […]
Safety, Trust, and Beauty
Yesterday I took a drive up to the cabin. The weather was just perfect – sunshine, blue skies, and some of the leaves on the Aspen trees were just starting to change. I took my time getting things ready as I planned on staying a couple of days. By the time I left, it was […]
God Spared Me
After my son got married and now has the support of an amazing wife and her wonderful Christian family, I have been telling my siblings that God could take me home with Him any time now. Today, instead of doing that, He spared me. I was out driving this morning and had come to a […]
Home From Honeymoon
This evening I made the drive to the airport and back to pick up my son and his new wife. They spent several days in Germany seeing the sights and attending Oktoberfest in Munich. They shared some photos in an online album during that time. They fit right in with their German attire and were […]
Race Team Dream
I printed some photos of the wedding and put them in a little book to show them to people. I figured it was easier than passing my phone around. As I was showing them to some friends today, we talked about my grandchildren and what they were doing. I shared that my older grandson had […]
Generous Neighbors
I snuck outside today to water my plants and flowers. With my black eye and stitches, I didn’t want to scare anyone. But, my neighbor across the sidewalk came out at the same time. She had dropped me off at the doctor’s office on the day of the surgery and had checked in via text, […]
Teamwork
I had to have a basal cell skin cancer spot removed from above my eyebrow yesterday. Actually, while the dermatologist was performing the outpatient surgery, he found that it had grown into my eyebrow as well. I was glad that my son picked me up after the procedure, so I didn’t have to try driving […]
Encouraging Words
Today I read an article that quoted Arnold Schwarzenegger. There was a line that reminded of what I was thinking yesterday. “If you find yourself falling for the anger, go out in the real world and make yourself human again.” Then I saw an encouraging post by TobyMac that speaks to our spirituality. “Focus on […]
