  • Bus stop miracle

    In my mind today, I have been thinking of all of the miracles around us.

    In my mind today, I have had such strong emotions this November. Novembers are always hard for us since our son left the Earth. It was 10 years this year. So so many have left us. It is our job to continue on and to spread love and unselfish acts. We have been isolated because…

  • …but rejoice because your names are written in heaven. Luke 10:20

    In my mind today I am thinking about death. Just plain and simple death. Our God sweeps in and takes those we love. How we take it so personal when someone has to go. Then we think about fairness; is there any fairness? Is there ever a good time for us humans?My family and I have…
