Hope among the rubble!...

I got up crying on Christmas Eve morning; thinking about my youngest daughter and what was ahead for her. I said, Lord, I’m old and I have lived a long life, and I would give up my marriage if it would save hers! If Jesus could die for the whole world, I could give up my world if it would keep her...

Something to think about?...

At this time of the year, when the roadblocks come up with great regularity, I would like to share a personal experience with my closest friends about drinking and driving. As you well know, some of us have been known to have had "brushes with the authorities" on our way home from an "occasional... Sign in to see full entry.

She's better than any hockey player I've seen...

I have noises inside and outside my house. Old Mr. Winter is gearing up for a cold front blowing in just in time for the holiday season. One can hear the wind whistling around the doors and windows. But there are other noises inside my home; noises that sound like paper tearing or little plastic... Sign in to see full entry.

It's been a few days since I've wanted to sit down and write...

Lots of things on the mind, you know. Lots of decisions, mostly on our daughter's part, to make in the near future for her and her two sons. For me, I guess the Lord has decided that I wait on Him again. So my affairs will be put on the back burner for awhile. And part of me thinks that maybe I'm... Sign in to see full entry.

Sometimes it's not who you know but WHAT you know...

You've been there, I'm sure, when maybe you've needed some help and because someone you "know" was able to help you get that job or put you on the right path or directed you to the right thing or people.. But today, it helped us to know not Who but What. Last week we looked at newer model pickups... Sign in to see full entry.

A Mother and Daughter talk...

I contacted my youngest daughter by email in regards to the upcoming talk she is to have telling her husband that she is planning to leave him. "After thinking about it, I realized that when you tell C., his whole Christmas will be ruined and so now I wonder if my encouragement to tell him early is... Sign in to see full entry.

As the three boys pulled out of the garage in the four-wheeler...

I thought to myself, I should take a picture of this. But then I thought, I have no camera because it was stolen and so I decided to store it in my heart instead. Tuck it away for future memories. The grandkids were at the house last weekend while their mother was looking at the old farm house to... Sign in to see full entry.

The evening we had the confrontation about the pink note...

and after he explained how he had it in the first place, I asked for his cell phone. And I called her number twice; once I wasn’t for sure it had gone through so I dialed it again. I have no idea what I was planning to say to her; anything to let her know that we didn’t want to hear from her again... Sign in to see full entry.

My dad was an alcoholic. I came from a broken home...

due to his drinking and that has influenced my choice against drinking. One of my childhood memories I have of my broken family was when I was in grade school and we had to fill out forms about our family. And when it came to filling out information about my dad, I always had to ask the teacher how... Sign in to see full entry.

Boy, when it rains, it pours at my house!...

Didn’t sleep very well last night after our talk and so was up pretty early. His allergies are acting up again and so he wasn’t sleeping very well, either. But this morning, he said he felt like a new man after I told him I would take a day at a time and not keep talking about moving out after... Sign in to see full entry.
