Problem
Found the Weather
My dad was a meteorologist in the Air Force for about 25 years. He still enjoys everything about weather and space. He installed a small weather station at the cabin and has been keeping track of the information for years. The other day he was searching for the data in his computer and couldn’t find […]
Forgiven Accident
The other day as I was driving into a parking lot, I saw a car backing out of a parking spot in front of me. The driver of the small car couldn’t see me as there was a big truck next to it so I stopped and waited for it to back up. Suddenly, I […]
Supportive Groups
We had 3 events today. My mom went to her exercise class in the morning. I had a caregiver’s support group/class in the afternoon. And tonight I met with my prayer group. In each event, at least one person expressed their gratitude for the group – particularly for the other people present. In each session, […]
Timely Problem
Yesterday my dad and I went out to run some errands. Our first stop was the post office. I let my dad go in to take care of his business while I sat in the car and waited. I put the radio on, laid the seat back, and closed my eyes for a few minutes. […]
Patience in Traffic
Today I had a few errands to run. I figured it would take me about an hour. I left a little bit later than I had intended and everywhere I went there was traffic and road construction. It took me a half an hour to get to a store when it should have taken only […]
Problem Solving
Sometimes I feel like every day something else goes wrong. It can be very frustrating. This morning we read the meditation from the book, “Jesus Always” by Sarah Young. It said that troubles come to keep us thinking – to keep our brains working on problem solving. If we didn’t have problems to solve, we would […]
Prayers for Attacker
Yesterday I heard about some students from Boston College currently studying in France who were attacked. A woman who has a history of mental illness threw acid into their faces. The girls were reportedly doing ok and would recover. Today I heard the rest of the story. As the girls wrote on social media to […]
Fix It Day
Lately, there have been some things going wrong, which has been frustrating – especially to my dad. This afternoon while my mom got her haircut, my dad and I ran some errands. Each place he went in to do business had no waiting. He just walked right in and got things taken care of. When […]
Woman in Distress
Today I took my dad to a doctor’s appointment. As we were waiting to be seen, an elderly woman came in who was distressed. She was almost in tears as she tried to explain why she was late. She said she had to walk over from a nearby convenience store as her car broke down. […]
Left Eyes Have It
My brother recently had his truck into the shop for some repairs. He was very happy with the place, but after a couple of days, the service man who was right on top of things failed to call when he said he would. My brother followed up and one of the employees said that the […]
