Improving my love of life…. through loving God, self and others
I am one big step closer to wearing reading glasses. Recently my daughter talked me into trying some on in a cute boutique, and we found some that were palatable. Sigh….how did this happen? She then explained to me the biological reasons for my fine tuning fuzziness, in an effort to make me feel better... Continue Reading →
It's football season and this is the first year our son is playing on the high school team. Every Friday morning I open his dark bedroom and quietly announce,"Hey Bud....it's game day!" and you can feel the buzz of excitement from that point on.

This is a pot that my friend Pete made. Around the rim it says, ”My hearts desire is to be less Ward and June and more Narnia”. I love this pot for several reasons: because it was created by a dear friend whom I respect greatly, because it reminds me of the need for more... Continue Reading →
Who do you want to be like when you grow up? Tell her, and if she’s not already, ask her to mentor you.
