Last Fall, in my blog, I discussed three instances of “waiting”. Since then, there have been some changes. My son found another job in the city that he and his wife had hoped to move to. After a good year in an unsettled state and “waiting”, all their hopes and dreams with respect to […]
I have been in God’s waiting room with our business and I don’t know how much longer I will be there. My oldest son is waiting for a job to be able to move to a different state. My youngest son is waiting also for improved health. In all of these circumstances, it’s hard […]
I had a good phone conversation with my oldest son this morning, the one who is a police officer. He caught me up on what was going on in his life and I did as well and then we got around to more serious subjects. He and his wife are in a small town […]
Do you ever lay in bed at night in those minutes before drifting off to sleep and think about your dreams for your life that you would like to accomplish some day? I’m talking about the “I envision myself being this or doing this” type of thoughts, the kind that are so far off […]

We have another front desk […]
I love lighthouses, probably because they stir my soul as a metaphor for life. They are solid, unchanging, immovable, let out a comforting glow day and night, and are designed for protection. When I think of God’s presence during difficult times, a lot of those same words come to mind…unchanging, comforting, protection in the […]
Two weekends ago, I traveled out of state back to my hometown to visit my aunt who is in a nursing home. It is always a bittersweet time as memories flood my mind whenever I go back. I was born there, grew up there and went to high school there. Even after leaving the […]
This week I learned about different communication styles and have been fascinated by the concept. There are 4 different categories of this grouping.
