God Was Already There

So, I had to make a potentially difficult phone call this afternoon. I thought of it shortly after I woke up and the anxiety set in. I prayed about it and after only a bit I felt that God was already in the situation and not to worry. I thanked God for the insight and […]

It’s Good to be Little

I thought I was doing pretty good reading my book for the “retreat” I am participating in. We meet once a week for 10 weeks and have a reading assignment for each week. I looked over the schedule again this morning and realized that I still had quite a bit to read. After getting the daily […]

Needy and Safety

This evening I drove my dad to a meeting that was held in the downtown area of the city. Since the meeting was about 2 hours long, I decided to stick around and do a little shopping. I hadn’t really explored downtown in many years. I drove slowly down one of the main streets and […]

Late For Advent

63 Years of Marriage

Today is my parent’s 63rd wedding anniversary. We started the day by going to church. My dad bought my mom a rose corsage that she proudly wore to publicize the special day. I had called the church office a few days ago to see if my parents could get a special blessing. My mom and dad did not […]

Trusting Jesus

My parents and I decided to go to church this evening to avoid a potential snow storm. My dad drove and mom always gets the front passenger seat, so I was in the back. Typically, I like to drive. First of all, I really enjoy it. And probably like most people, I feel more of […]
