My blogging has taken a bad seat to pain and physical therapy. After two months I am back. I no longer wobble when I walk. Weebles Wobble but They Don’t Fall Down I am so thankful that after several years of pain that just grew worse each year, I am free of pain. Seven years ago, […]
It has been a month now since I finished my physical therapy. My therapist warned me that I would need to keep doing my exercises at least two to four times a week if I wanted to remain strong and have less pain. So far, I am exercising every day. Eventually I will probably move […]
Following the Oregon Trail we came upon a large rock made of limestone. The rock stood high above the Platte River Valley. The soft limestone rock made it easy for people to carve their names in. Travelers heading for Oregon carved their names in the rock. More than 700 names are on the rock. At […]
Revelation is a book of the Bible that I have found confusing and difficult to understand. Throughout my life I have attended Bible studies, read books and listened to a host of people give their viewpoint on the meaning of the book. Several years ago, Tim LaHaye and Jerry B Jenkins wrote a series of […]
35 years – but the memory of that time is still clear in my mind. I had moved back to Illinois from Missouri to be near family. My husband of 13 years had been killed in an accident and with him my dreams of a home in the country was gone. With two little girls […]
With recent health issues, I have been spending way too much time at home. Experiencing a lot of severe pain, I am faced with two choices. Take pain medications and then feel too sleepy or zombie-like to do anything. Don’t take pain medications and hurt too bad to do anything. I have missed church, given […]
Spring break this year found my both my daughter and her husband out of town on their jobs leaving my husband and I to take care of – and entertain – our eight-year-old granddaughter. What to do? We played school with the animals. My husband bought these animals at the local zoo one year when […]
As my husband and I age, we find we are no longer able to be as active as we once were. For years my husband was a pastor and I worked alongside him teaching Bible classes, playing for worship and all the many tasks that come with serving a community of Christians. This year I […]

What a week this has been! Sunday evening my husband was rushed into emergency surgery for a subdural hematoma. Because of the coronavirus I could not go to the hospital with him. At 3:30 that afternoon the surgeon’s assistant called me and told me they were doing emergency surgery and without the surgery my husband […]
Outside our patio window we have bird feeders. I love to watch all the beautiful birds and think of what a creator our God is. He could have made one kind of bird. Checking National Geographic and various other sites, I found that it is estimated there are between 10,000 to 18,000 different species of […]

Hope you enjoy these. All from my daily devotion book. Some people are so indecisive, their favorite color is plaid. Before passing judgment on a sermon, be sure to try it out in practice. Kindness is a language the deaf can hear and the blind can see. Lord, make my words kind, because tomorrow I […]
