A dear friend was the first person I heard use the term, “God stories”. I love hearing those stories! I love the reminders of God’s presence. God Stories: those things that occur unexpectedly and you know only God could have done that; those times you barely missed being in an accident because you were runningContinue reading “God Stories”

The End of the Book
Many years ago I read a book that ended horribly. I don’t mean it was that the good guy didn’t win, or lovers weren’t reunited. The ending was so horrible that I am still haunted by it. I think I was somewhat traumatized by it, and I still remember it to this day. I don’tContinue reading “The End of the Book”
God’s Special Gift – Part II
There used to be a toy store called Bozo’s Big Top. Yeah, like the TV clown. They had really cute doll clothes. I know this because we bought the outfit there that our son wore home from the hospital. In 1977, stores didn’t carry clothes or diapers for preemies. Thank goodness I have an auntContinue reading “God’s Special Gift – Part II”
God’s Special Gift – Part I

Valentine’s Day, 2020. Five years without my valentine. The first of those five, I had my valentine, but he lay in CCU fighting for his life. I lost him 6 days later, so I didn’t really have him that Valentine’s Day. The first few Valentine’s Days were sad and lonely. I knew there would beContinue reading “Broken and Mending”
WIDOW – That Word!
The first time I had to check that little box next to that word was like a punch in the gut! It was like someone had reached inside me and ripped out my heart. A little five letter word that turns your world upside down. Being a widow is not a club anyone wants toContinue reading “WIDOW – That Word!”
The Bully, Hanging On, and Retirement
I retired in November 2018 after 39 years working for the federal government. It wasn’t my original plan, but as I’ve learned through the years, if God has other plans, our plans are crap! In my last year of employment, I was subject to bullying by one of the most mean spirited people I haveContinue reading “The Bully, Hanging On, and Retirement”
