The Good Ole Days

I shared in this little blog many months ago about a wonderful older parishioner from our church back in Illinois. My husband and I got to know Ed very well after his wife passed away. We would frequently go out to breakfast after church, and he would invite us back to his condo just off…

Faith, Ice Cream and Father

Last week I told you all about a wonderful young woman, she’s the daughter of a friend, who has been battling liver cancer. Kayla went through a series of chemo treatments to reduce the mass in size, so that it could be removed. Last week Kayla had that surgery and I believe, because of the…

The 4th – Blessed

It’s hard to believe that we are heading into the long 4th of July weekend already. It seems like just yesterday we were celebrating Christmas. I always feel a little sad when the 4th rolls around because after that holiday it just seems like the rest of the summer becomes a blur and before you…

Service with a Smile

Yesterday I grabbed breakfast at a place I’ve never been. To say the place was busy might be a bit of an understatement. Now as I share this story in today’s little blog, let’s remember how difficult it is to get help these days. We’ve all seen, experienced, or at the very least discussed the…

Simple Friends

A few days ago in this little blog, I mentioned that we had dinner with some wonderful friends. During that evening we learned so much about each other. We shared how small we felt the world was as we started to talk about friends in our lives. My husband and I talked about how we…
