Unity
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…

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…

Channel Peace
In my mind this week I am focusing on peace. The second week of Advent beckons us to bring peace to others. God, make me a vessel of Your Peace. I am reminded of the peace we all crave in our homes but at the ALS casa my health is making chaos. Just when you…

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.…

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…

Won’t You Be My Neighbor?
Won’t You Be My Neighbor? “Lord, help me overcome my biases. I want to be able to see you in every person I meet.” As I read my devotional this morning, I smiled thinking of the message. I remembered as a child watching the PBS program Mr. Rogers’ Neighborhood and singing along. Decades later I…

Be Bold
Judge Less Not…. In my mind, I try always to be understanding and open. Everyone has a story. The world all treats us in unique ways. Sometimes we draw the short straw and aren’t blessed with a secure, loving family. We are all born with our own life path. Bad situations encounter us as we…

Moral Compass
Moral Compass I’ve been on earth almost half of a century. My life has had many highs and several lows. To stay sane you have to just roll with the changes trusting that whatever storm we are facing will pass just as those fun, love-filled times did. Through it all we have to put our…
