Thinking of Love
One of the readings at church today was EPH 5:21-32, which is the infamous scripture about how wives should be subordinate to their husbands. But, the other part of that is the instruction for husbands to love their wives as God loves the church. I thought the priest gave some great words of wisdom. He referred […]
Caring Connection and Commitment
Tonight I had dinner with a young woman I met when I worked at a church many years ago. She moved away and got married a year ago. We stayed in touch via texting and social media. She and her husband came to my area for vacation, and I was so happy that we were […]
Live Laugh Love Scrap
When we were talking to my brother yesterday, somehow we got on the topic of the saying, “Live, Laugh, Love’. We knew there were additional descriptions added to each word, but couldn’t think of them, so we made up our own. “Live long and prosper, Laugh loud, Love life . . . Live a good […]
Overdue Swing
A friend of mine who was adopted as an infant found and was reunited with his biological mother last year. It was such an emotional story. This year, she came to visit him and he shared many of the pictures. One of them was of him on an oversized swing with his mother standing behind. […]
Young Love
My dad had a dermatology appointment today. He remembered that when he was a young adult, he had terrible acne. It was treated with radiation or x-rays for quite a while, but unfortunately, it didn’t help. My dad said it eventually went away on it’s own. But, it didn’t seem to bother my mom. She […]
Three Little Boys
My mom and I watched some of “America’s Got Talent” tonight. There was an amazing story that a father of 6 told before he sang to the audience. When his wife gave birth to their daughter, the 2 of them almost died. The man prayed all night and was of course grateful that his family […]
It’s About You
I read Bishop Robert Barron’s meditation on the scripture Matthew 9:9-13 and it really hit my heart. This is what it said in part: ” . . . I urge you to read it and meditate upon it this week, for it’s about you. The Bible says that Jesus told Matthew, “Follow me.” The call of […]
Compassionate Grandson
I received a text early this morning from my younger grandson. He said that his little sister was having some kind of a problem with her foot and couldn’t walk. After a bit, I contacted my son and his wife who told me that she had a big blister from her new shoes. I was […]
Growing Grandchildren
Today my grandkids and I had a lazy day. We hung out, played games, and cooked. I loved spending this time with them and seeing how much they have grown since I last saw them. My almost 3 Year old granddaughter is so funny, smart, and has a large vocabulary. But sometimes it was difficult […]
Whirlwind Trip
It has been a whirlwind the last couple of days as I continued to travel. The day after the wedding, I had breakfast with the bride’s parents. After a few minutes, the bride and her new husband came in. It was unexpected and joyful. Then, the bride’s dad and some of his friends had the […]
