March 13, 2020 My ten-year-old grandson got up from the dinner table, walked over to me and tapped my shoulder. “Nana, thank you. I love the noodles you made. But next time can you put a little less salt. I’ll still eat them, but I’m just telling you for next time, okay?” I gave him …
March 7, 2020 “The LORD watches over you—the LORD is your shade at your right hand; the sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night” (Psalm 121:5). The sun was hot even before spring arrived in Florida. And the sound of the ocean waves beckoned us. “C’mon, Nana,” my granddaughter …
February 14, 2020 “I’ll be honest with you,” a friend said as we waited for our food at our favorite restaurant. “I want true love. I want to cry out, “Help, I’m married to a man made of stone.” I wish just once, on Valentine’s Day, he would show a little romance.” Way deep inside, …
January 31, 2020 “I dread this year,” someone posted. “I don’t think I’ll stomach the political scene with all the accusations and insults.” Not sure if you agree. But one thing for sure is that as we sail off into the sea of another year, no one can predict what awaits us. Will it be …
January 17, 2020 I almost fell for the trap. You gals know what I’m talking about, the new look that’s popular today—false eyelashes. My friend sat across the table from me. Her cosmetic bag jammed with make-up items. “You have to put them on,” she said. “You’ll see how different you look. It’s easy and …
January 3, 2020 This isn’t the first time someone has asked me this question. When I write about the power of God’s miracles. When I speak on the faith we must have in His miraculous healing, why then do I still have no sight? The question seems logical and obvious. My answer: God has healed …
December 20, 2019 Whoever said life is not easy was wrong, totally wrong. Life is sometimes extremely hard, painful, and impossible to endure. And we mistakenly look for this time of year to change that. Christmas was meant to be the most wonderful time of the year. If that’s so, why is the suicide rate …
December 6, 2019 Could someone forget their disabilities or limitations? I did. After living without sight for decades, I often forget I can’t see. And dismissing that very thing, sometimes I rush to get ready to go out. I admit it, I’m a wait-to-the-last-minute kind of gal. I rush around like a crazy woman. I …
November 29, 2019 It was a long flight, but the chat with the passenger seated to my right made the journey interesting. The conversation began with superficial comments, then it got a bit serious when we discussed religions. She asked me about mine and I answered. “I’m a Christian.” “I believe all religions have something …
November 22, 2019 We in Florida as other states on the East coast are breathing relief, we’re at the end of hurricane season. No more spending hours monitoring the weather channel.
