    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…

    Where is Sal the ALS Gal? In my mind, I have been so busy. I am still working on spreading the Light and Love to my corner of the world. September was so tough. I lost three weeks to the nastiest sinus infection I’ve ever had coupled with ALS. It took a toil on me.…

    In my mind, I am still enjoying Easter. Students, it is the fourth week of Easter and life here in Tennessee is bursting with rebirth. It is also rising from the earth. Have you discovered all of the trees bursting with colorful blooms? Last week we read St. Stephen in Acts of the Apostles 6:…

    In my mind during this second week of Lent, I have been thinking about troublesome children. Even the ultimate Father has had trouble from the beginning with disobedient children. This week we read about Cain slaying his brother Abel. The always classic The Prodigal Son which has many levels of perspectives. Students, kids have been…

    In my mind I am thinking about how time flies! It is already the end of the second week of Lent. Are you shining your Christ lights? Are you keeping your Lenten goals? If yes, great! If not, start today. Most people give up stuff for Lent: foods, vices, cursing or social media. These are…

    Oh, what a night!  In my mind, I have too many irons in the fire. Students, that is what my Daddy would tell me when I wanted to do a dozen tasks at once. I can still hear his voice from beyond the pale. It warms my heart that we stay connected in eternity. Yes…
