Just arrived home after about 5 hours at the VA Hospital with my husband who split his head open. Seven staples later, a tetenus shot, and an x-ray verifying that all was OK with his neck, we headed home with pain killers and antibiotic in hand. His biggest concern was the area in front of his head where they had to shave his hair. He is being ordained on Sunday and had planned to look real handsome in his suit……
Today I was thinking about Aquaphor. That was one of the many creams, ointments, and lotions I used on my Papa’s body to keep his skin from further irritation due to psoriasis. I remember after his showers greasing him up and massaging his legs, feet, arms, and face. He loved it as I know he felt cared for during those times. We would even spray some after bath men’s spray to give him a fresh manly scent.
This morning these…..
On May 10th, 2014, I was invited to come to my local library where they allowed local authors to display their books. Here is the interview that took place that day. My daughter and son accompanied me and you will see them throughout the five minute YouTube.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1KdIQr4q5rQ

I just spent this past weekend at my church’s women’s retreat. It was wonderful as always with ladies I love and grow closer to each year. I love spending precious time together and cultivating our relationships making memories together in a safe spiritual atmosphere where God’s love is tangible.
Something we do every year on a Friday night is to spend time at different stations set up for times of personal reflection. One of the stations is to reflect on…..
Last Saturday night I was sitting at the airport thinking about our hikes in the Sedona mountains and at Zion National Park with my husband. First can I say, “WOW” and way to go, Creator of the universe! Such amazing majestic beauty.
Last night as I was reflecting on the amazing vacation we had in Arizona, my thoughts began to recall the trails we hiked in the beautiful mountains. At first start there was this feeling of exhilaration and strength…..
Today is one of those days where I am trying to understand some difficult situations. We all have them, along with our automatic responses to those situations, whatever they may be. However, I am no longer interested in my automatic responses according to the truth from my own perspective or experiences. I am more interested in utilizing my automatic responses as signals that there might be a higher truth to explore.
We often hear how there are three sides to…..
Today is my 55th birthday. Five is the number of grace. Double grace, I will take it as a great gift. My birthdays have become a sobering and somewhat sorrowful time for me and not because I am getting older 🙂 This is the month we heard the terrible news of my mom’s pancreatic cancer on February 7th, 2010 and the month she died just 3 weeks later on February 23, 2010.
My last two birthdays that my mom was…..
Today I was taking my youngest son to the library where he has a tutor for SAT preparation. I’ve always loved driving my children to various activities alone because many rich conversations often took place during our times together. I asked my son if he had a favorite memory of our time caring for his grandpa. His answer to me was the times we felt challenged by the situation at hand and our response was to laugh nervously. I didn’t…..
“For all who are led by the Spirit of God are children of God. So you have not received a spirit that makes you fearful slaves. Instead, you received God’s Spirit when he adopted you as his own children. Now we call him “Abba, Father.” For his Spirit joins with our spirit to affirm that we are God’s children. And since we are his children, we are his heirs.” The Bible
Today I was thinking about how I no…..
