A Day…Off

Yesterday after church, I tackled the remainder of a project that my husband and I started on Saturday. I had purchased a stand to hold my computer monitors, making more room on my desk at home.

A Different Road

Yesterday, my husband and I drove to work separately. On the way in, I made a stop at the post office. I was there early. When I walked up to the door, I confirmed they opened at 8:00 a.m. Great I thought, I’m three minutes early and can beat the rush. When I walked in…

20/20

I’ve worn corrective lenses for my eyes since I was…well since I was old enough to remember. I think my first pair landed on my face when I was about six. It’s a joke with my eye doctor when he asks if I can read any line on the chart, (without my contacts in), and…

A Wee One

Over the years we have come to know many of our kids’ friends. Some of them became lifelong friends, spending time at our house and meeting us for gatherings. Yes over time, some of their friends well they are close enough for us to think of them as our own kids. If you’re a parent…

Weekend of Thanks

Men and women gave their lives to protect the freedoms we all enjoy. This morning I was reading in our Book of Common Prayer and was drawn to this prayer of thanksgiving. Though…
