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 […]
December 4, 2010 Don and I went to dinner last night at a restaurant beside the water in Hawaii. We parked our rental car in a secured parking lot and went to eat. We were gone about an hour and when we returned to the car I drove and Don got in the passenger seat. […]
November 21, 2010 Barking dogs have invaded my peace and quiet. The pleasure of sitting in my backyard to read is no longer enjoyable. A rental house behind us has a few dogs that bark incessantly, so I am now in the habit of closing all my back doors and windows and turning up […]

November 11, 2010 “I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you with loving-kindness.” Jeremiah 31:3 I have always been an animal lover. As a young girl, my bed was littered with stuffed animals of various kinds and wherever I went, they had to accompany me. As I grew older and since […]
October 27, 2010 It is bittersweet knowing that our college football days are coming to an end. There are five games left and a good possibility of a bowl game on Christmas Eve in Hawaii.

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 […]
September 28, 2010 When I am overwhelmed, you alone know the way I should turn. Ps. 142:3 Often, I have viewed my life as a long corridor with doors on the left and right. Mostly, the hall consisted of closed doors that I had to open and experience something or someone. But today I […]
