In the Gospel of Mark Jesus pointed out to His disciples a widow woman who placed two little coins in the offering box in the Temple. Compared to the much larger amounts they had seen others give earlier, her offering seemed like nothing. Yet Jesus pointed out that they had given of their abundance while […]
This week my husband and I traded in our flip phones for a smart phone. I have resisted doing this for some time. It’s not that I am not computer savvy – but I must confess as I age and as the technology keeps making leaps and bounds, I fear that I will never keep […]
These thoughts are not my own – I am sharing the message my pastor gave us this week. She told us that if we make $37,000 a year we are in the ranks of the rich when compared to the rest of the world’s population. Then she listed the “rich” people problems we face all […]
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, […]
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 […]

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 […]
Today is the third week I have not been able to make it to church. Two weeks ago I was in too much pain to go. Last week we were all snowed in and church was cancelled. Today I am suffering again from pain. Feeling a little down – I miss my church family, I […]

Hampton Park in Charleston, South Carolina, is a beautiful place to walk or just sit and enjoy the many flowers, trees and the fountain. When we spent a few months in Charleston during the winter of 2016 we walked almost every day in the park. At 60 acres, there are plenty of walkways. Just six […]
