GUESS WHAT DAY IT IS?

Guess what day it is? We hear that question on the television at least once a week, as the talking camel walks through a busy office. Wednesday, hump day, the middle of the workweek, when employees start thinking about Friday. This story is about people. Happy people. People who are sad and prickly. I amContinue reading “GUESS WHAT DAY IT IS?”

PEACE FROM THE MOURNING DOVE COO

For the last three days, two Mourning Doves have visited me. The first day they meandered on my driveway, sauntering together like a couple enjoying a spring day. On the second day, they explored the yard stopping for a bite to eat at the feeder. Always together, always loving and caring towards each other. TodayContinue reading “PEACE FROM THE MOURNING DOVE COO”

Tick Tock, Tick Tock, Tick Tock

Tonight, as I took my walk, a walk that I have made many, many times, something incredible happened to me.

Perhaps it was the beautiful church hymns floating fromContinue reading “Tick Tock, Tick Tock, Tick Tock”

I Wonder

Skyler James was born on July 1, 2016. He died on July 29, 2016. It was a hot day, a humid day, a day we will never forget. Skyler would now be six months old and the hurt our hearts feel is still as strong as the day he made his way to Heaven. AsContinue reading “I Wonder”

A Journey Down a Winding Path

Before we were born, God planned our path. A path that would take twists and turns and introduce us to family, friends, and perfect strangers. A path that would lead us on a journey of discovery, dreams, sadness, hurt, happiness, wellness, illness, death, excitement, wonder, work, play, and love. A path that would be unpredictableContinue reading “A Journey Down a Winding Path”
