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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
Interesting Questions!

September 1, 2022 Interesting Questions! I said “Yes!” to something I did not expect this week. I said “Yes!” when a funeral director asked if I would be interested in helping a family who had no pastor. When I went to visit with the funeral director, we both asked lots of questions. It was important […]
A Simple Birthday!

August 25, 2022 A Simple Birthday! Last Sunday was my mother’s 91st birthday. My mother lives with the illness called Alzheimer’s. It is a disease that continues to diminish cognitive clarity as well as disrupts the brain’s signals to parts of the body so there are a growing number of physical limitations. Persons living with […]
Lost Rhythm!

August 18, 2022 Lost Rhythm! For the last few weeks, I have been listening to instrumental jazz. I listen for 30 minutes or so before I go to sleep each night. The music is reflective and relaxing. The music is inspiring and intriguing. The music speaks to a deep part of something inside of me. […]
Unexpected Blessings!

August 11, 2022 Unexpected Blessing! We had walked the trail before…several times. It is an easy walk winding behind the neighborhood in which we live before it meanders through a small protected natural area. The natural area does not look like much from the road; a small overgrown piece of ground left undeveloped. But, a […]
