HUNTING DOWN LOST DOGS

It is a joy to reach out to our neighbors, for a variety of reasons. One being that neighbors are close by and are often a wonderful source of help in an emergency. We were living in Southern California, and our homes were situated on a relatively short street. In that climate people are oftenContinue reading “HUNTING DOWN LOST DOGS”

YES, WE ARE ALL LIKE SHEEP

These events took place in an airport lounge area. My husband has more air miles accumulated than you could imagine. And because I’m his wife, I have some access to some of his perks. One advantage is that I can relax and snack at the airline lounges in various airports. This particular moment began atContinue reading “YES, WE ARE ALL LIKE SHEEP”

GOD REMEMBERS Even Years Later

This story is true and took place a number of years ago. It’s a story of our wedding day. If you’re married, you may look back and remember details about your day very clearly. For some, it may seem like blur! I mean that kindly, but our nervous system may have erased some elements ofContinue reading “GOD REMEMBERS Even Years Later”

A CITIZEN AT LAST

My husband and I have MOVED, TRANSITIONED, RELOCATED and been “transplanted” numerous times. For those of you who have followed our friendship close up, you’ve often shared about the why’s and the need for purchasing new address books to keep up with us. I laugh as I write this; but being transplanted is not justContinue reading “A CITIZEN AT LAST”

RELATIONAL PRIVILEGES

With the last couple of “posts,” you may be assuming that I’m a “frequent flyer.” That assumption would be wrong. In fact I seldom fly, I still prefer the automobile. Because of my husband’s travel for his job, he has accrued thousand upon thousands of air miles. I call him Mr. Mileage Plus! But withContinue reading “RELATIONAL PRIVILEGES”

…. JUST THINKING ….

WHAT DO PEOPLE THINK OF JESUS CHRIST AFTER THEY’VE SPENT TIME WITH YOU & ME ?? Working with you? Walking with you? Watching you? Listening to you? Living with you? We are a witness to our world, whether we realize it or not.

AN EVENING OBSERVATION AT THE AIRPORT

It was an early evening-event that occurred at the Portland airport. The specific location was the United Club. These clubs host travellers that carry MANY miles of travel on their “mileage program.” My husband’s travel over the years has earned him more miles than I can handle on my calculator. Because these miles keep accruingContinue reading “AN EVENING OBSERVATION AT THE AIRPORT”

LOOKING BACK….JUST FOR AWHILE

NOURISHMENT for DISCOURAGEMENT Let me begin with a question for you? Do you ever wake up in the morning in a “not so good mood?” Maybe you’re not comfortable with such a strategic question. But I think most of us would have to admit that moods can sometimes feel like a rain cloud that’s justContinue reading “LOOKING BACK….JUST FOR AWHILE”

STORMS

Tempests, hurricanes, gales, tornadoes, snowstorms, downpours, outbreaks, eruptions, flareups, outbursts, fumes, waves, explosions It’s Winter right now. I don’t know where you live, but wherever that is, no doubt you’ll experience various degrees of a storm. In Canada it may be a snow storm, in Arizona, it may be a hot sand storm. There areContinue reading “STORMS”

NEW YEARS’ RESOLUTION

Well, it’s now 2026 and I wonder if you made any “new year’s resolutions?” I haven’t because I’m still working on resolutions I made years ago. Yes, I’m joking with you!! But the thought of resolutions did spark an interest in what it means to have a “resolution” about something. I often find it helpfulContinue reading “NEW YEARS’ RESOLUTION”
