What a Life!
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,…

Are you there, God?
Hosea 10:12 Sow righteousness for yourselves, reap the fruit of unfailing love, and break up your unplowed ground; for it is time to seek the Lord, until he comes and showers his righteousness on you. In my mind, I have been pulled in so many different directions. In the past month, I have been to…

Oh, What a Night!
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…

I’m BACK!
In my mind today, I am thankful for my life. The past few months God has been nudging me to do the work he still has for me. Truthfully, it was not what I wanted. I wanted to disappear. How could I be so selfish to my heavenly Father from whom every blessing has been…

The Human Highway
In my mind today, I am thinking about the human highway. It is true that we are all on our journey. Students, have you paid much attention to the conditions of the human highway lately? There are lots of roadblocks and warning signs. Frankly speaking, I see a lot of lost traffic. Why are we…

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…

Death into Life
In my mind lately, I have been thinking a lot about this life and this world. I don’t have all the answers. Who does? I don’t know how we go each day and continue through sorrow, great times, and mediocre days. The latest book club read was a deep one. It made you analyze everything.…

Martha, Jubliees, and Prophets
It shall be a jubilee for you. (Leviticus 25:10) In my mind today students, I am thinking about Marthas and Marys as well as years of jubilees. I definitely do not want to forget about prophets. As of late I have been quite the Martha. Students, do you know who I’m talking about? You know…

Indiana Alley
In my mind, I have been very busy. So has my sweet little family because of me. It is so hard to be a caregiver. I think it is the hardest thing ever. It becomes very tenuous at times whenever those closest to me become exhausted and even hurt because of my ALS adventure. This…

Bus stop miracle
In my mind today, I have been thinking of all of the miracles around us. Every day I begin my morning with the readings from the Bible: verses from the Old testament, verses from the New testament, and Psalms. They always speak so loudly to my heart. Ironically and mysteriously they always line up with…
