  • 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…

  • Embrace the Gift

    In my mind this past week, I have been busy. Monday was our Bible Study Christmas get together sharing time and conversation and prayers. This little group has been gathering together for at least four years, possibly longer. We’ve lost a few and added a few but we are still studying Emmanuel and searching to…

  • Bucket Lists

    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?

    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.…

  • Easter is Coming!

    In my mind today, I can’t believe that we are so close to Easter. In less than 4 days, we will be together celebrating the most important day in every human being’s life. Back row, I know that Christmas is super exciting because of toys. Toys break and soon you get tired of them. Remember…

  • Shine on!

    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, Christmas!

    In my mind, I am thinking how can Christmas be just THREE days away? My heart starts beating faster just thinking about it. The sounds, smells, businesses buzzing, and humans scurrying around everywhere! It can drive a person mad. Let’s talk about the slowness of the postal service and all of the UPS and FedEx…

  • 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…

  • Flutter Pickles, Fairy Dust, and Crunch Crunch Berries

    In my mind today I am thinking about flutter pickles, fairy dust, crunch crunch berries, and all the great times I have had with my grand girls. I cannot believe another season is upon me and my older Grands are a senior and a freshman. Where are the days that were filled with such Garden…

  • HOPE is Floating, again

    In my mind lately I have been searching for Hope. You know something to look forward to because I have been ghosting in my mind in the past. It has been a powerful journey fighting back from the other side of grief. Something floating in my chest nudged me. There once again, I find myself…
