Super Occurence
Yesterday, my dad and I headed up to the cabin hoping to get a good view of the moon. It was cloudy when we arrived and the forecast called for more high clouds. So, I was praying that the sky would clear for just a little while. When I got up in the morning, the […]
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 […]
Unexpected Prayer Partner
Tonight I went to a Lifetree Cafe group about caregiving that a friend invited me to. The discussion group has different topics each week and includes a short message about God. I started by meeting a couple of people at the table. There was a short video of a woman who had taken care of […]
God is Multifacial
At church today, the priest told of a little girl who was learning about Jesus nearing Christmas time. She asked how all of God could fit into a little baby? He said that was a good question. Not only is God fully and completely in Jesus, He is in each one of us too. The […]

Twins Perhaps
I took my mom to a doctor’s appointment this afternoon. As usual, I looked around the waiting room and took notice of who was there. I try not to stare, but I do like to people watch. Sitting near us was an older couple. The more I noticed, the more I realized they looked almost […]
Interwoven Lives
My mom and I are excited for craft fair season, so we visited a couple of them today. We had lunch at one and found a place to sit in the small crowded seating area. As I was getting our food, an elderly woman asked my mom if there was a spare seat. The table was […]
Respectful Grocer
Today as I was having my food rung up at the grocery store, I was watching an elderly gentleman in the adjacent lane. He had a Veteran’s ball cap on. The two young men who were helping him were chatting with him and very patient as he dug for his change. When he was finished, […]
