Prison letters and pecan pies……………………………...

If you had asked me about 10 years ago if I knew anyone in prison, I would have told you “no”. I didn’t know anyone; nor had any of my family ever been to prison. Now I correspond to four men and my niece just came home this past summer from spending almost 2 years for drugs. It started with my... Sign in to see full entry.

The call came today...it looks like I'm ready to die.

Well, I guess that got your attention, right? When my father-in-law passed away in 1998 and then my mom passed in 1999, we had talked about making our final arrangements so our children wouldn't have that to do. It had helped us a lot for our parents to have done the majority of the arrangements... Sign in to see full entry.

They had been married for fifty years...

You don't find too many couples who can say that. When I first began working in my first career, she was one of the mentors of that day. She was a Christian woman who lived a Christian life in front of all that knew her. And yet she must have had those heart wrenching times as some of us have...... Sign in to see full entry.

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly………………………………………………...

I cried all day yesterday. Some days are like this; especially, with a full moon. What is it that brings on such overwhelming tears? I guess in my case, it is the emotions and conflicts in my marriage that I hold in and when I express them openly; they overflow like a spillway from a dam.... Sign in to see full entry.

Taking up my challenge...

We went to the casino on Thursday morning for the free breakfast. And of course, I was assuming he was going to play but he said he knew he had been spending too much money over there so he said we would just go and have a free breakfast and come home. Sure, I said. But really in my heart I didn't... Sign in to see full entry.

Do you take PRIDE in your work...

I used to be a secretary and if you’ve ever worked in that position, you know there are many things to being a “secretary”. It always entails a lot of multitasking but when I was given a task, I always tried to follow through with it because I hated to do “re-work or do something OVER again”. And if...

Should I tell him? ………………………………...

That if he gets picked up with an open container of beer, and goes to jail, that I won’t be there to get him out? I will let him stay there. My husband will never own up to the fact that he loves his beer as much as he loves to gamble and on several occasions our discussion will turn into heated... Sign in to see full entry.

Another giving today……………………………………...

I was at the dollar store in a town about 13 miles from home last Saturday morning; loading up on some things for the “Samaritan’s Purse” organization that helps disadvantaged kids overseas. I always choose a boy and girl and as I was standing there deciding what to get, an older gentlemen walked by... Sign in to see full entry.

“You can’t save the whole world,” he said………………………………...

No, I can’t. But as long as I feel that I am doing what God expects of me, I will always have peace of mind. I have always had empathy for helping someone in distress. Whether it be stray kittens and cats or people. I always feel like these are angels in disguise and God has put me there in their... Sign in to see full entry.
