December 30, 2010 Christmas has been enjoyable this year. It was less stressful, I had more time on my hands, and just all around pleasant. As I decorated, it was nice to walk down memory lane as I uncovered each treasured ornament or decoration. I love snowmen, and I practically know each of mine by […]
December 8, 2010 I witnessed the saddest thing at the airport on Monday that I cannot erase from my mind. While Don and I were in the Honolulu airport at 6:00am, waiting for our plane, we bought a cup of coffee and sat in one of the chairs. Don walked away for a moment and […]

October 19, 2010 Jesus said, “Take Away the Stone” John 11:37a I asked a friend a few weeks ago, if we could talk so that she could help me sort through some conflicting feelings. I shared with her that I felt that I had a mound of laundry and was picking up one item at […]
