    In my mind today I am thinking about a young, twenty two year old girl named Sidney. She is my muse and inspiration since my world was up-ended on July second. I had no clue about the depths of grief I would encounter and still do at the drop of a hat. Crying one minute…

    Running on Empty In my mind today I am thinking about running. I’m in my writing spot watching my youngest son leave to run with friends. I remember all of those years in basketball and playing sports from the 3rd grade on up running. In college I promised myself I would never run again when…

    In my mind, I’ve been lost lately. Losing my soul mate has riveted me to my mortal coil. My spirit wants to fly free from this body and desperately be where his spirit has flown. Everything,  EVERYTHING, reminds me of him. I know God has more for me to do so I stuff my grief…

    In my mind today, I’m so very sad. My sweet husband (MSH as my daughter says for short) left for heaven July 2nd, 2022.  I cry and then I laugh and then cry some more.  Watching someone you love fade away in front of your eyes is so very hard. I do not have a…

    Winnowing your words and thoughts  In my mind today I am winnowing my words and thoughts.  I know back row; what in the world is winnowing?  I am simply separating and selecting. Students, we each have a finite time to do good.  It is very important to keep your soul and mind on what is…

    In my mind, I have been desperately trying to stay the course, the narrow way. Students when you are looking at memento mori, All things will die, it puts your life in a positive perspective.Last year at Easter I was in the hospital fighting for my life. Two weeks ago my husband was at Vanderbilt…

    “Do you want to be well?”  In my mind today I am thinking about my daily readings from yesterday. There was a man who had been crippled for 38 years. He is just lying there waiting for someone to help him get into the waters. 38 years. When Jesus asked the man if he wanted…

    Circles In my mind today I am thinking about circles. This is the third week of Lent. This week examine your circles. In my readings today, Jesus expanded His Circles. My Circles change all the time. I have my nuclear family circle. My church family and friends circle which continues to grow. My student circle…

    Desert Time In my mind today, I am thinking about deserts and Lent. It is now 16 days into our “Lenten Desert.” In the beginning, we decided to walk the narrow path for these 40 days. How’s it going? Are you giving time, talent, and treasure to the least around you? Are you sowing seeds…
