  • Grace Overload

    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…

  • Saturday Story “Cards”

    Well I am two weeks behind this Saturday challenge. I am going to ” kill two birds with one stone ” and use it as a blog post. I have been holding it in my mind and heart; I hope you enjoy it. In my mind, I have been thinking about cards. When we did…

  • 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,…

  • Helpless

    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…

  • Anti-Christ Culture

    In my mind today, I am thinking about how blessed I am. To be able to have a purpose for God and the ability to share the messages of Him is my purpose until I get to the Spiritual season. Because of amazing children and Hospice care, the future’s so bright, I gotta wear shades!…

  • Autumn March Awards Day

    In my body and mind, I have been discombobulated! I have had hard decisions to make in my life living with ALS. God has given me bonus years and kept me busy. I know the research is helping us, ALS patients, live longer and next we pray for a cure. It takes so many people…

  • Our Hour

    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…

  • Transfigure Our Hearts

    Out of my body and into my mind, I am thinking about Lent. This was the second Sunday of Lent. It’s that time of year again to rededicate ourselves as followers of Jesus. Examine your hearts to see what drives your own behaviors. Sin is so slithery. It will slither in and become a habit.…

  • Take a Little Walk with Him

    In my mind, I am thinking about Lent. The first Sunday of the 40 days leading up to the most important day for human beings. The promised Messiah came and fulfilled the prophecy of death and sin destroyed by this God Man named Jesus. Jesus in His 33 years changed the way to eternal life.…
