Challenge and Change and Virus too!
Every day is a new challenge for our leaders. Challenge and change and virus too! They have never had to deal with something like this. We all have to chill and pray that they do the right things to keep everyone calm and as safe as possible. We are our own worst enemy when…

Oh What a Night – Music and Change!
Oh, what a night! That was the last time we stayed up all night. “Oh, my God! Can you believe she wore that?” I exclaimed, walking down the crowded street. “That would be the last thing I would want to wear.” “Yeah, well, with a body like that, I would wear it too.” My best…

Curveballs – Can Help or Hurt Us
Curveballs – can help or hurt us. It is a great way to think about things. I can either hit things out of the ballpark or miss them and try again. Home runs don’t happen every day, but they can happen more often with practice. That is why when you miss, you can keep on…

The Bus and The Girls
When I was around 8, we lived on a farm in southern Minnesota. We had to travel to school by bus. I will always remember the bus ride and those girls. I was the oldest, at the time, of five. My mother stayed home with us and Dad was the breadwinner. We had a small…

Time and Time, Again
Time and time, again we think that today is the day. Sometimes I don’t feel like doing things. I still try to do something. There is never a day that makes me want to give up. Keep going, it will get better. I am up early and going outside makes me feel refreshed. The…

My New Housecoat
Posted – 2014 Sometimes it’s about the clothes…. my hubby got me my early birthday present – my new housecoat. The thing is, I have to throw the old one away. That may not seem like a big deal to some, but to me, it is a little “big” deal. I am all for sending…

Fridays
Are Fridays really Fridays? What do you think of when you think of Fridays? It used to mean the weekend for many and probably still does. For many of us, though, Fridays do not have the same meaning. The world has definitely evolved into a 24-hour mess. Why do I say mess? Because you…

Prayer is Not Always Done in Church
Prayer comes easier to me at night. Prayer is not always done in a church. I try to pray. Doing it doesn’t make me more or less religious. I do it because I believe. I am a strong believer that there is more than we can ever know. Religion doesn’t have to mean an…
