I will try not to overuse that ‘u’ word that’s been used too many times in 2020 … you know, unprecedented. I would like to think that the word for 2020 is RESILIENT. A resilient object ‘springs back into shape after being bent, stretched & compressed’. I am sure many of us have felt stretched […]

Let’s be honest.  The Bible isn’t always easy to read.   I’m not even talking about the challenging doctrinal passages. I’m referring to the verses we can understand but aren’t quite sure why they are there. Things like … The details of the tabernacle.  ALL 613 commandments in the Old Testament.  And of course, the begats.  […]

So, who are you voting for? Just kidding. I know who I’m voting for and you know who you are voting for … so, we’ll leave that right there.   We all have our reasons why we feel our particular candidate is the better choice. Maybe we like their platform or even their personality.  We may […]

When I was 16 years old, I had my first job as an “orderly” at a hospital.  I was entrusted with transporting patients to and from the radiology department.   I’m not sure what the patients thought when they saw me coming with the wheelchair or stretcher, but thankfully, we all survived. It’s not something […]

In anticipation of 2020, there was a battle cry at many new year’s celebrations: VISION. Not only was it a new year, it was a new decade! Everyone had a good feeling about it. For me, the year started out great. Some new opportunities were opening up. My nephews’ basketball team won the state championship […]

“Don’t talk about politics or religion.”  No matter how old you are, it’s something we’ve all heard.  Over the years, other topics like racial and gender equality and abortion are off the table too.  Of course, in 2020, we’ve added a whole new set of divisive discussions: Mask or no mask Pharmaceutical treatment or vaccine […]

I was looking back through some pictures from earlier this year… mid-March to be exact.   My husband and I were enjoying the less-busy life. We had selfies of us with our homemade, mini-charcuterie board (aka deli meat and cheese), enjoying the beautiful weather, along with the complete freedom to do nothing.   That was […]

My parents like to tell stories about my sister and I when we were little.  Some of these include us begging to go to McDonalds or spend the night at a friend’s house. We would plead and cry until someone caved… either them or us.  :-) My sister and I never had a plan or strategy.  […]

Is anyone else SO DONE with 2020? I have plenty of moments when I just want to put on my yoga pants and watch Netflix until 2021.  Of course, I know I can’t do that (unless I want to add unemployment to my list of issues this year).   The fact is…I am tired.  I am […]
