For about 8 years I worked in the medical field. I loved it most of the time. I especially liked working for the orthopedic surgeon, dealing with patients, scheduling surgeries, and generally helping wherever I could. This past week I took my mom to several doctor’s appointment. For one of them, we had to wait… Continue reading Medical
What are you wearing?
Recently I was having dinner with a couple of my good, good friends. During our conversation, one of them mentioned that she had been to a retreat and told how great it was. There she met a woman who touched her life. As my friend told her story (we all have one, don’t we?) to… Continue reading What are you wearing?
CS Lewis quote:
Choices
In this life we have many choices. Every day we are choosing. Sometimes we don’t even know we are making a choice, but we are. Hopefully, we are making choices that will better our lives and the lives around us. But sometimes we don’t. Sometimes we make choices that aren’t good for us and may… Continue reading Choices
Hearts
As I read my devotional, Psalm 51, this morning, I couldn’t help but think of some of the women of the Bible. This Psalm of David, tells how he felt after Nathan, God’s prophet, came to him and showed him how he had sinned. We know a little bit of how David felt by this… Continue reading Hearts
Grotesques
A little fun today… Before the invention of gutters on a house or building, there were gargoyles. Gargoyles have been around since the 13th century and some say even earlier. They were used at the top of stone buildings to spout water away from the building’s walls and foundations. I really like gargoyles. I have… Continue reading Grotesques
Power

Our little cabin is on top of a hill, and we were able to watch the storm containing what they though was a tornado. We could see both sides of the sky converging on each other. It… Continue reading Power
Beauty
Have you ever met someone who is gorgeous, and after talking with them, they turn out to be unattractive. On the other hand, have you ever met someone who wasn’t physically attractive, but after talking and getting to know them, they become beautiful or handsome in your sight? Where do we find beauty? In others?… Continue reading Beauty
Quiet!
There’s something to be said about silence. It is calming. It makes us hear things clearer. It makes us see God more. But there are some people who do not like the quiet and silence. They cannot stand to be alone and just sit with no noise around them. I know people like this. They… Continue reading Quiet!
Blessed Assurance
As you know, if you’ve read this blog, I like music even though like Barney Fife, I cannot “sing a lick.” I do like some of the new songs played on Christian radio today, but none of them can compare to some of the old hymns I grew up hearing and singing. It is inspiring… Continue reading Blessed Assurance
