I’ve FALLen and I can’t…get over how fast summer collapsed into fall.  😁  Cheesy, I know. Anyhow, wow, welcome to autumn! I have always said that it is a blessing God “chapterizes” our lives – one season at a time, one story at a time. And I am so thankful for that. My family and friends, like…

Taking a much needed break this week and, in the process of disconnecting (somewhat), I am reminded that “as our faith is strengthened we will find that there is no longer the need to have a sense of control, that things will flow as they will, and that we will flow with them, to our…

It takes lives to save lives. Today, I want to express my sincere gratitude to all organ donors and their families. They turn loss into hope. As I write this, my co-worker and friend, Ana, is in line and on standby to receive the gift of hope from one of these courageous and generous human…

Hey, you! Focus! Where were you just now? On something that happened yesterday? An hour ago? Or were you preoccupied with tomorrow’s appointment or chores? (That’s where I was).

Won’t you please join our efforts in…

I was in the middle of daydreaming about that ginormous Mega jackpot (so many thoughts), when I was quickly reeled back to reality by pain in my knee, and in my neck, and in my…well, everywhere. Followed by a status text letting us know that our good friend Del was back in ICU. Forget lotto,…

Good morning, guys! Never in the history of the world has patience played such an important role in our lives. Wow! It is a virtue, and skill, that the world is sorely lacking at the moment and, I’m sorry to say, the absence of it is going to cut our lives short. We want this and…

“You may forget the one with whom you have laughed, but never the one with whom you have wept.” On behalf of every person who’s ever had a rough day (that would be you and me), I am thankful for all those who stick with us through thick and thin. What are you thankful for…
