Young Entrepreneurs
Today I met up with some friends and went to the first Christmas show of the season. At least, it was the first one I went to. The show was a combination of a craft fair and a local small business expo. We had fun checking out the different booths of Christmas decorations, unique gifts, […]
Last Mission
The couple who live next door to me are very faithful, generous people. They have gone to different countries and done mission work for years. The wife was a teacher before she retired. When they visit other countries, they provide an English camp, where children can learn the English language. As they do so, they […]
Retirement Day
Today was my sister’s last official day of work. She has been wrapping things up and passing along all her tasks and information to her co-workers. Today she gathered up all the equipment she had from the law firm and delivered it all to the CEO. She said they chatted over a cup of coffee […]
In NASCAR
I was thrilled to get a phone call from my oldest grandson today. He has been working as a tire guy for a race team for the past year. They race late model stock cars. His dream has always been to work in NASCAR. He has met a lot of people during this past year. […]
Perfect Timing
After Mass this morning, I stopped by my son’s house. I thought I would visit for just a bit, then go about my day. However, when I arrived, my granddaughter was awake and aware. She is 2 months old now. My son was holding her and every now and then she would smile, which is […]
All Coming Together
A couple weeks ago, my sister and I talked about her moving in. I was pretty excited as I don’t really like being by myself. We always shared a bedroom when we were growing up and have shared a living space a couple times since then. I feel like we know each other pretty well […]
Living His Dream
My grandson texted me yesterday saying that I would never guess what he would be doing last night. I made a lot of random guesses that were pretty funny and saved the best for last. He moved almost a year ago to chase his dream of working with race cars. He got a job with […]
Leaking Windows
I was at an elderly couple’s house today helping them out when a thunderstorm rolled through. It has been such a long time since they have had any rain in their area, and we were wondering if it would actually happen. We could see the dark clouds coming closer and closer and hear the thunder […]
Apartment Intervention
I met up with my prayer group and one of the ladies told us that she was moving. We were all surprised. We knew that the circumstances in her current apartment were not very good, but didn’t know she was looking for a new place. Evidently, she really wasn’t, but said that God planned the […]
Our Lady of Guadalupe Shrine
Today I was able to visit a Shrine to Our Lady of Guadalupe. She is the patron of the Americas and it seemed particularly fitting as today is the Memorial of the Immaculate Heart of the Blessed Virgin Mary. I didn’t actually put that together until I arrived. There was a long winding pathway up […]
