    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…

    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…

    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.…

    Ask, Seek, & Knock  In my mind,I have been pondering the world’s mindset of Advent, the Season of Christmas. A new year to follow the Church’s calendar brings me to try to deepen my faith, Christianity, when I feel the weight of the world’s view trying to eat away at the beautiful Christmas Story of…

    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…
