Improving my love of life…. through loving God, self and others
This is a typical day at my back door. The dogs are always so desperate to go outside, they run around the backyard exactly one time and then back to the door to happily get inside. The cats mostly come and go as they please, but must have assistance, so the game goes all day... Continue Reading →
Fireworks are not my favorite. Actually, fireworks in Nebraska really irritate me. I used to love driving to a park nearby, pulling out a blanket and sitting on a slope or the back of a pick-up and watching a town put on it's best show of the year to celebrate our country's independence. That's not... Continue Reading →
Today is an important day, my Dad is retiring from his career. I know that may not sound all that special to most, but in my world it's a big deal. You see, my Dad has worked for the same organization for 45 years. Yes, he started working for the Boy Scouts of America in... Continue Reading →
Many years ago, when we were in our third or fourth year of marriage, I learned a big lesson regarding talking about my guy. I had been at work and gone out to lunch with a friend and on the way back to the office, I called our home answering machine to check our messages.... Continue Reading →

I like to think that I would. During a Marriage Oneness study recently, I learned that my guy has a second love language that he’s... Continue Reading →
Imagine....really thinking about each word before saying it because it would stay with you forever. We have a choice every single day to speak life and encouragement or gossip and hate. We tell our teens to be careful of everything they type and text because it can be saved or retrieved....but what about what we... Continue Reading →
Twenty-one years ago today he chose me and he still does, everyday. Thank you to my guy, for teaching me how to love. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xD236u89IvQ
My guy travels. A lot. He is often in another country and sometimes on a different continent. This is part of who we are as a family; it has been this way for years. But that doesn’t mean that we are experts at living a separated life. When my guy is gone I don’t function... Continue Reading →
