    In my mind, I have been so busy with a head full of dreams. Dreams of rescuing children suffering in an America full of resources, but failing to clothe, feed, shelter the most vulnerable and valuable in our society, the widows (elderly) and orphans (from neglect from addiction not just substances but also the ego…

    In my mind today, I am still exhausted from last Saturday. It was the annual Autumn March for ALS. This was the 9th year for the race and my 13th year of living with ALS. I am so, so blessed to have been given longer than the average 3-5 years. I have tried my very…

    In my mind today I am so happy. I want to share yesterday with you. Let’s look at a day in the ALS life. On Saturdays I stay in bed until early afternoon. I give my troops, my caregivers (Abbey and Andy) time to get up slowly. As soon as one of them wakes up,…

    In my mind lately I’ve made a big mistake. I have taken my eyes and mind inward. I have allowed the pity party of this earthly life to take my focus from what really matters in one’s life. Students in the back row, it’s not “The all about Me Show.” Trying desperately to fulfill your…

    In my mind today, I have so many sad thoughts and feelings. I don’t want to leave my bed. I am trying desperately to outrun ALS, but I am in another valley. There seems to be no more outs to pull me through this. I know it’s different this time because I NEVER want to…

    John 7:30 His hour had not yet come.  In my mind, I have been thinking about the D-word. As soon as we are born we begin to die, like a light bulb. My husband’s wise father used to say this. It is true. Lifespans have always varied depending on access to resources, genetic dispositions, and…

    In my mind I have been thinking about something that we all need, especially Christians. This week is prayer for Christian unity. Today our modern culture is confused. We want to be Christians without the work and suffering from following a moral code of ethics and virtues. It is so easy to look around and…

    Bucket List In my mind today, I am thinking about “Bucket Lists.” When my body began betraying me in 2011, I felt that it was only going to progress. Why? I had an aunt who started falling at the age of 38, her legs would give out underneath her without warning. She became so weak…
