Improving my love of life…. through loving God, self and others
It's not my favorite day of the year, but each late August I have an appointment that means a lot to me. The whole thing takes about 15 minutes, start to finish, and it has the power to save my life, or detect cancer early, which can mean a less invasive approach. It's awkward and... Continue Reading →
Recently I met a friend for coffee and after we had checked in with all the general news in our lives, she shared with me that her husband had asked her a question that stumped her; who are you outside of our little family? She told me that her first inclination was to be afraid... Continue Reading →
"What I know about you is that you are brave. Remember that time when we had just moved here and you walked right into Youth Group without knowing a soul? That took bravery.

And if you've spent any time on a farm, you know that there is ALWAYS work to do. My daughter had heard about this non-profit farm and years... Continue Reading →

At some point during his stay each time, the evangelist would come into Sean’s office, take a seat... Continue Reading →
Last week a friend and I visited a museum downtown, there was a temporary exhibit on Light that we were both interested in, so we took the afternoon to do something a little different. I have never regarded myself as artistic or particularly creative, so for me viewing art and seeing light and color tends... Continue Reading →
Donald Trump is constantly in the news, and recently I was reading about the new tax plan he is unveiling. The writer said that this was a pyrrhic victory for Trump, using a word I had never seen before, so I looked it up. It gives me great satisfaction to see a word well-used, in... Continue Reading →
