Sharing His Legacy
I have been in touch with our local space Discovery Center for several months, discussing making a donation. Over the years, my dad accumulated hundreds of textbooks and military documents about space. After bringing the Discovery Center a couple of boxes of items and talking with the young woman about what I still had, I […]
The Journalist
For the past 4 years, my grandson has been involved in the media program at his high school. He has learned a lot and has really enjoyed making short videos. One of the segments he recently made won a local award and was entered into a national competition. The media teacher organized a trip to […]
Help Others Love Music
Today I organized a bookcase best I could. I got together all the books about composers and music techniques and found some notes in a calendar that my mom had written regarding her piano students. I remembered how much she loved teaching. And she put all her earnings into her own account to get special […]
Sharing Good News
Some of our friends are what I consider to be missionaries. They recently returned from a trip in a foreign country and came over this afternoon to share photos and stories. While they were there, they visited some schools where they taught English, helped the teachers to teach the language, and helped with projects. At […]
Art Spirituality
My artistic sister signed up for some online art courses. She put one on tonight as she sat down to unwind after a full day of working on the computer. I listened and watched a bit. Before the instructor started teaching how to watercolor the “Butterfly Queen”, she introduced herself. She explained that her hands […]
Mission Trip Stories
Today we went to our neighbor’s house for a visit and lunch. While we were there, they showed us the video of the mission trip they just returned from in Ecuador. They always have great stories to tell about their trips and the impact the Bible/English Camp has on the participants and their families. One […]
Back From Mission
Our neighbor’s returned from their mission trip in Ecuador. My mom, sister’s, and I helped get some of the materials ready for the English Bible Camp before they left. We have been praying for them every day. I received an email from the wife today. She thanked us for the help, the prayers and said […]
I Did It
At Mass 4 years ago, I heard an invitation from the Biblical School to attend an informational meeting. I decided to go. As I was listening to the course outline, my heart was “burning within me”. Even though it was 4 years of classes, I knew it was something I should do. I didn’t know […]
Circuit Boards
My mom has a hard time listening to music. I feel bad that it just doesn’t sound good to her, especially since that has been such an important part of her life. Today my brother took apart the old receiver and cleaned it to help it get a better sound. I looked inside it and […]
NASA Overload
In 1989, my dad published the first edition of his text book, “Introduction to Space: The Science of Space Flight”. At that time he was teaching at the local college and was unable to find an adequate text book on the topic. So he wrote his own and taught the course. He updated the book […]
