All is Well
My son had a doctor’s appointment today, so I helped drive kids. I picked up my grandson from a rock climbing event that was part of his school’s program. On the way home, he told me all about it and how much he enjoys the sport. He also talked about an opportunity he had making […]
Word and Experience
This morning I read the scriptures for the day which included Mark 6:1-6. In this story, Jesus was trying to reveal God’s words to the people of His home town. However, they were offended by Him. This evening I visited a friend who had surgery a couple weeks ago. She was doing pretty good. Our […]
Track Trade Show
A couple months ago, my grandson bought himself a little sprint car to race at the local dirt track. He has been learning all about it and figuring out how to get it up and running. Yesterday he surprised me by asking if I wanted to go to a trade show with him. It was […]
Pondering and Healing
I woke up this morning not feeling very good. I have had kind of a cold thing lingering in the background for a while. So I was actually happy that it resembled a blizzard outside. I cancelled the 2 appointments I had, pulled on a couple layers, and got cozy. Today also marks the third […]
Sharing Cells
Today I heard a fascinating presentation about the somewhat recent discovery of how the baby in the womb shares cells with his or her mother. It’s called microchimerism. It’s been known that mother and baby share cells through the placenta. However, recently scientists found that a woman who carried a male baby had the male […]
The Sweatshirt
Since we are in the throws of winter, it is cold and occasionally snowy outside. I’m trying to conserve energy and cost by keeping the thermostat down. To me, it is also cold in the house, so I wear my layers. I was looking for a warm and comfortable top layer and came across a […]
Impact of Illness
Today I read a post that a friend shared about her young son. He has been struggling for months and recently was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease. I knew from first hand experience what that is like. I reflected on my own past as I pondered how to respond to her. These are the thoughts […]
Remembering Time With Mom
Today as I was going through things on my computer, I came across a video that I made with my mom several years ago. A flood of emotions rushed over, into, and out of me. First, I was sad and missed her tremendously. As I watched, I realized how much she suffered and for such […]
Long Distance Prayer
Today was the meeting day with my prayer group. However, it was super cold. Not only that, some members weren’t feeling well. One of the gentlemen set up a Zoom meeting and all but one of us was able to attend. It was especially important as one of the ladies had recently experienced a tragedy […]
Finished the Book
Today I finished the book “The Five People You Meet in Heaven” by Mitch Albom. It only took me 4 days, which is unbelievable to me. As I was talking with my sister about it, I think the last full book I finished reading for pleasure was a Nancy Drew in Jr. High School. From […]
