    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…

    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…

    “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…

    In my mind today I am thinking about life. Last Sunday was the first Sunday of Lent. Last Wednesday was Ash Wednesday: the day we remember that we will return to dust. Life on this Earth is so short. This is why it is vital to choose life. How do we get the most out…

    In my mind today,  I’m thinking of strengths and weaknesses.   We all have them. Right now is a very weak or difficult time for me.  Every time I move two steps forward in my home-family life, spiritual life, church life, community life, and author/writing life I am shoved three steps backwards. You notice I…

     In my mind today I am thinking of gold, frankincense, and myrrh. We hear of this every year at Christmas time. Have we ever really taken the time students to look these things up and to define them and create connections within your own minds?  It is true what teachers tell you. If you see…
