What’s It Gonna Be?
I don't really like making decisions of where to eat or what to do for fun if I am making it to include other people. I guess I worry too much about not making someone happy. Even my husband will say, "You decide where we eat". I just don't like to. We were preparing...
Celebrate the Umbrella!
Umbrellas. They protect. From rain. From heat. From rays. My bridesmaids carried a fancy form of them in our wedding 38 years ago. Songs have been sung about them. Books have been written about them. Sometimes they are used as a walking stick, a poker-in-the-butt, or...
Love Your Enemies
Jesus said, "Love your enemies." Matthew 5:44 Jesus said, "Love one another." John 13:34 Jesus also said, "Take up your cross and follow me." Matthew 16:24-28 Yesterday I was watching a well-known news cast. Four of the five panelist said something about being a...

Always In A Hurry
Sometimes I feel like the FedEx® guy. Always in a hurry. Just doing the next thing. Dropping off the next "box of stuff". No connection. Just racing through the day to get it all done. Deliver to everyone else. No eye contact. Start. Get it done. Go home. Do it all...
