My 6-year-old granddaughter loves the Frozen movies; both of them. She knows “Let It Go” and will sometimes spontaneously sing the song while I’m driving her to or from school. I think she has an unusually nice voice (or am I biased as the Nana?) and I always listen delightedly to her unselfconscious rendition […]
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 […]
I have come to realize that some of my behavior has resembled that of a tortoise; metaphorically of course. Like many things in life, I have only realized that in looking back over the last few months. I was the tortoise traveling down the dusty road of life when last Fall, I hit rough […]

As much as I love sitting […]
It’s been three months since I last blogged. Giving an update to the theme of the blog last November, we are still steering our business by God’s grace. He has been our beacon and constant source of guidance and comfort through the loss of key employees and the search for replacements.
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 […]
My younger daughter had a birthday a little more than a week ago and we celebrated with her at a favorite restaurant. This may not sound exciting but compared to a year ago when she would not let us do anything with her on her 21st birthday, this is huge.
We have improved our relationship […]
In last week’s blog, I alluded to the fact that I discovered that my elder daughter had another baby girl. I would like to write a tribute to this little girl who has come into the world even if there is a good chance that I will know little or nothing of her as […]
