Close to the Broken hearted
Today I watched a video by Dallas Jenkins who is the creator of the Chosen series. He was talking about the apocalyptic fires in Los Angeles and the big question, “Where is God in all this?” I thought he made some good points that gave me pause to ponder. Time and time again in the […]
Jubilee Year of Hope
Today I read an article in the Word Among us about the 2025 Jubilee Year of Hope that was proclaimed by Pope Francis. The history of a jubilee year goes back thousands of years to the Old Testament. Leviticus 25:8-55 describes a jubilee year to be celebrated every 50 years. Simply put, it was a […]
Thinking of 2025
Coming to the end of the year gave me good reason to reflect back and look forward as perhaps many people do. I have seen several suggestions and ideas of how to do this. It is helpful to me to process through and write things down. I’m going to try to make it simple – […]
Faith Not Fear
I listened to the mediation from Jeff Cavins on the Hallow app this morning. He shared a great acrostic for the word FEAR: False Evidence Appearing Real. He was explaining the Gospel of the day. The Bible story was that of a wealthy man sharing some of his wealth with those who worked for him, […]
Music Donation
It was a very good thing that my sisters and I meticulously sifted through my mom’s music. Today the president of one of the music organizations that my mom was involved with came over. We chatted a bit about our commonalities. He teaches in the music department at the same local college where my dad […]

A friend of mine has been crocheting super cute hats and things and selling them at craft fairs. Recently, a store was interested in the hats, so she gave them some to sell. Not surprisingly, they have been selling very quickly and the store is ready for more. She texted me today to let me […]
Three For Tea
A few weeks ago, my son’s fiancee invited me to tea with her and her mom. We went today. It was in a “castle” that belonged to one of the city’s founders. The property was 700 acres set back into the foothills with beautiful scenery. It had been acquired some years ago by a Christian […]
Clear Adventure
My friend and I decided to try to take a drive in the mountains this week. However, she cares for her mother and she wasn’t feeling well the day we planned on going. I completely understand that situation. So, we decided to wait. We had the opportunity to go today and took it. My friend […]
Wood Troll
My friend and I greeted today from the cabin. During breakfast we talked about what to do and decided to go into town. My friend looked up a place to get a good cup of coffee. That was our only goal for the day. When we got into town, we went into the casino that […]
The Race Car
Since my grandson was a child he has been obsessed with race cars. He would make detailed tracks out of cardboard and put his hot wheels on them. He even learned how to make stop motion videos, creating his own stories with crashes and cotton ball smoke. When he lived near a race track, he […]
