November 10, 2022 Unexpected Blessings! Our kids were home earlier this week. It was their first time to see our home in Colorado and their first time to see us “on our turf” in about five months. It was a good time; lots of laughter, lots of cooking together, and lots of game playing! We […]
Breakfast Sunrise!

November 3, 2022 Breakfast Sunrise! Some days just don’t go the way we had hoped. Some days leave us hurt or angry or sad. Some days leave us with an unexpected disappointment or yet another cry of desperation. And there are some days that awaken us with painful news. Towards the end of last week, […]
Change!

October 27, 2022 Change! I have not had to rake leaves in the fall for over 20 years. It’s not that we have not had trees or rakes in the past. We have not had to rake leaves because we have not had so many leaves that the lawn mower could not pick them up. […]
Someone Is Hurting!

October 20, 2022 Someone Is Hurting! Peter was a man’s man. I imagine he was tall, broad shouldered, and quite strong. He worked with his hands doing work I could not endure for more than a day or two. Peter worked the night shift which meant he slept most of the day while his friends […]

October 13, 2022 How Did I Get Here? A few days ago, I found myself in a more reflective mood. I was grateful for many things; my wife, my family, and my health. I gave thanks to the Lord God for our home (almost finished!), a possible new church home, and for retirement. The more […]
Walk In The Rain!

October 6, 2022 Walk In The Rain! Earlier this week, I went for a walk. I needed to stretch my legs with a short walk. We had driven almost eight hours that day and my body was asking for some movement. It was beginning to get dark when we left the house. Although I could […]
Shed Some Stuff!

September 29, 2022 Shed Some Stuff! Earlier this week, I decided to water some little blue stem grass seed I had planted in a raised flower bed. As I walked from the raised bed to the water faucet in our backyard, I noticed something new; there was a shed skin from a small bull snake […]
Hold On!

September 22, 2022 Hold On! We were invited to a neighborhood picnic last evening. It was nice to visit with neighbors we have already met as well as meet neighbors we have not yet met. It was an evening filled with blessings and new friends. I am grateful! As good as everything was last evening, […]
Hope!

September 15, 2022 Hope! While driving home from worship last Sunday morning, I noticed a man in his late 30’s or early 40’s standing on the corner of two of the busier streets where we live. He had a long beard, short hair, and clothes that looked clean. In his hand, he was holding a […]
It Looks Good!

September 8, 2022 It Looks Good! We have spent a good portion of the last two months working on the landscaping around our home. We love the outdoors and enjoy helping the flowers, bushes, and even the rocks look better. We have repaired some of the sprinkler system, prepared beds for spring flower planting, and […]
