Shiny Buttons and Forgiveness

I have always loved to go on outings, adventures or travels! As a child, it didn’t matter if we were going to the bank or the hardware store, I was always ready to grab my coat and go. I remember clearly one summer day when my Uncle Larry was heading to the Auto parts store. [...]

Health and Politics

I have never been a very political person! Yes I care very much about being a good citizen, voting, and democracy. But, I have always shied away from people who played “behind the scenes” games or were manipulators or even liars. The older I get, the more I view “politics” as a huge game, which [...]

It’s a cough that started only when I laughed hard… then whenever there was pressure on my chest… then I would [...]

He Delights in You

Have you ever known someone who had a really contagious laugh? One who took such delight in something that you couldn’t help but join in? My son was like that as a little boy. His laughter would get all of us rolling in laughter. One memory that will always stick in my mind is the [...]

Thankful for Mentors
