January 21, 2022 While in my kitchen busy chopping onions for my favorite salmon dish, I listened to a photographer’s interview on radio. He had gone into an odd adventure. After asking permission of dozens of folks, he took photographs of the inside of their refrigerators. Kind of weird? Just a tad. But I …
January 7, 2022 Since this is a new year, Here’s something different for you. Let’s take a new look at God’s promises. Let’s prepare to receive blessings. Let’s stand firm and boldly declare no dark news, no negativity, no oppression is a match to God’s power to intervene, to bring back what has been lost. …
December 24, 2021 Our Christmas dinner adventure ended up with an unpleasant episode. I sat on the passenger’s seat and my friend drove the car through busy, narrow Orlando streets in downtown. Our chatter must have been a bit distracting. Suddenly she gasped. “Oh no!” Inadvertently, she entered the wrong way into a one-way street. …
December 10, 2021 Last week, hubby and I stood at the customer service line at our local grocery store to return a jar of Vegenaise. OOPS, we had failed to notice it contained soy. As we waited, we observed our line was short compared to the one beside us. Those in that line wore huge …
November 24, 2021 The other day, my beautiful bracelet, a gift from my hubby broke. I placed it in a small Ziplock bag and tossed it in my purse. Days later, we headed to the jeweler. Where is that bracelet? That purse of mine must have turned into a black hole. Hundreds of items crowded …
November 12, 2021 It seems like a lifetime ago when my good friend and I sat at a park bench while our toddlers played in the sandbox. We shared details of our hectic days and even chatted about stuff that intimidated us. Are you kidding?” I said, “I could never travel to another country by …
October 29, 2021 Woo hoo! I’m blowing out birthday candles this month. But someone has to tell me where they are to avoid burning my nose and eyelashes. My family laughs at this scenario because all, including me, are quite comfortable with my lack of sight. This month marks 31 years I’ve been in physical …
October 8, 2021 “Don’t tell anybody,” my friend said “I’m so embarrassed.” You’ll agree when you read the details. This happened years ago and she gave me permission to share it with you. We had pulled in the parking lot of our favorite shopping mall. She parked the car and got out. As I opened …
September 24, 2021 “I had to do it; I was desperate,” a friend confessed some years back. To avoid the intense loneliness, she had placed a sign on her front yard that read, “I need a friend.” Most wouldn’t take that step, a bit bold and daring. But when loneliness gnaws during long days and …
September 10, 2021 We can’t blame him. At one time or another, you and I did it, too. And sometimes we can’t even figure it out. Was it simply a shortcoming? Was it jealousy, envy or sorry self-pity? This scenario plays out in the prodigal son’s story. We all know it. One day he packed …
