Found His Mother
I got together with a friend of mine and he told me a great story. He was adopted at birth and was always an advocate for adoption vs. abortion. He would talk about it especially with his daughter’s friends and they would realize that if he would not have been born, his daughters would not […]
New Podiatrist
Among her many health issues, my mom has had painful feet and problems with her toes for years now. Since I moved in with them, I have been to one podiatrist appointment with her. That doctor was really less than helpful. She started having more problems, so this time we started with her primary care […]
Returning From Graduation
I picked up my sister from the airport this evening after her whirlwind of a trip to see her son graduate from boot camp. She came back to the house and told my parents and I all about the event. My nephew had professional pictures taken and bought tons of them to share around. I will […]
Boot Camp Grad
Today is my dad’s 87th birthday. It is also the day that my nephew graduated from Navy boot camp. A few months ago, my dad found a picture of his father exactly 100 years ago at the same base where my nephew was. It all came together in perfect circumstances. My dad planned on attending […]
Letters From Women
A few years ago, I was blessed to begin a faith journey with 6 other women – some I knew, some I did not. The new prayer group was organized by a good friend who takes God’s promptings seriously. We met about once a month, visited, ate, prayed, laughed, and cried together. When I moved away, […]
Shipped Out
My nephew joined the Navy via the Delayed Entry Program several months ago. Since then, he has been working hard to get ready and has questioned his decision from time to time. He has been heavy on my mind and in my prayers. He stuck with it and saw it through. He reported to his […]
Ready For the Navy
My nephew was sworn into the Navy a few months ago, and has been working hard at getting ready for his departure ever since. He is scheduled to ship out this week, so today we had a family get together. Yesterday, my mom and I went to the party store to see if we could […]
Such Similarities
Our new neighbors moved in a few months ago and we have been meaning to get together. Things finally worked out and we had the couple over today. We had seen and spoken to the wife a few times as she stayed here while her husband was tying up some loose ends in their previous state. […]
Wisdom at the Inauguration
I watched some of the inauguration today. Among the drama, strong language, and protests, it was hopeful to hear the different prayers that were spoken. They were words of peace, guidance, and grace. There were actually several references to the need for God’s wisdom. It was a beautiful reminder that God is bigger than this […]
Learning Pickleball
A couple of weeks ago, I was talking with a friend about the game “Pickleball”. It seems to be gaining popularity – especially with people in their 40’s and older. I thought it sounded like fun and perhaps it would be something I should learn. This week at the Parkinson’s support group, it was announced […]
