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…

On Your Knees

This morning a song has been playing in my head. You know how that goes, when that process starts, you are singing it to yourself for hours, or days. I’m not sure why this particular song and it’s only one verse that keeps repeating itself. When I went outside to spend some morning prayer time…

Becoming One

Eyes for Emily

Usually, when I sit outside on our lanai to have my morning chat with Father, it’s quiet. However, in the last week or so the bubbler in our little lake has been running consistently. So, this morning as I sat and listened to the water, thoughts of Emily Rea came to mind. I’m thinking that…

Secretariat Lessons

Last night I watched the movie Secretariat. If you haven’t seen it, I highly recommend it. Of course, it’s a movie depicting the life of admittedly the greatest racehorse of our time. A triple crown winner that broke every record in the three races. He won the final race of the crown, the Preakness, by…

He Made US

I was having dinner with some folks last night, several were much younger than me, like my youngest daughter’s age. So, yes, young enough to be my children. I was listening to their conversation about technology. They talked about how they don’t use cash, they use Apple Pay for everything, they even use their watch…
