Strong Enough
My mom, dad, and I visited my sister in the rehab facility today. She will be discharged in a couple days and will be staying with us for a few weeks before going to her home in Denver. This will give her time to gain some strength and get some things in place at her […]
Nature Heals the Weary Spirit
Today was a gorgeous day. I got up early early and met my sister and her husband for breakfast. Then we went for a hike. We started at the top of a canyon and followed the trail along the ridge. We stopped at several overlooks to get a good view of the canyon walls and […]
Amazing Endurance
Today my mother and I were talking about her musical background. She is an outstanding musician – especially as a pianist. I asked her if she had taken piano lessons her entire life. She said she started taking lessons when she was 6 years old. She would go to the woman’s home and play. When […]
Heavenly Joy
So I turned on America’s Got Talent last night. At times they interview a certain act before they come onto the stage, but you never know exactly how it’s going to turn out. A piece came on with a 5-year old little girl named Heavenly Joy. I wondered how her parents came up with that name. She […]
Reflection, Sorrow, and Grace
Today I gathered up all of Goldie’s things that I thought could be used by someone else. I brought most of them to the vet that we met at first – St. Francis Animal Hospital. I thought from the beginning that this was a very fitting name. I spoke again to one of the wonderful […]
Rite of Spring
My parents have had season tickets to the Philharmonic Symphony for many years and attend about 8 concerts during the year. Today was the last performance of the season. They asked if I wanted to go too, which I did, so my dad purchased a ticket for me a few weeks ago. We got all […]
Multicultural Worship
Today at church, the children’s group led the music along with some of the Spanish ministry in celebration of upcoming Cinco de Mayo. It reminded me of a summer mission trip that I attended with the high school youth group a couple of years ago. One of the evenings, the whole camp was invited to […]
Inspirational Music
Tonight my mom, dad, and I played a couple rousing games of UNO. We always laugh a lot when we play games together. Then, I started going through my day to decide what to blog about. My mom sat down at her grand piano and played a piece that she and her friend play together. I […]
Because He Lives
Easter Sunday – one of my favorite days of the year. I awoke with songs going through my head all about how Jesus Christ died so that each of us may have eternal life. I took my dog out early and saw an amazing sunrise. I was happy that we sang some of the songs […]
Worship With Music
Today my dad found an old cassette tape that my brother was looking for. It was a recording of my brother many years ago when he performed with a music group called the “Revelation Generation”. The group was made up mostly of Christian young adults and the focus was to stand up for Christianity and […]
