Restricted Vision, Unburdened Sight
Sometimes the things you can't see help you see more clearly!
When I was working for the University, about twenty-five or twenty-six years ago, I worked with a lady that had previously been part of the Polish Olympic archery team. (I will call her Beth here in the blog, although that was not her name.) Beth actually competed in the Olympics in Atlanta in 1996. She … Continue reading We Have All Taken, Our Eyes Off the Mark
Do you have any idea how much water you can lose if you have a faucet that is dripping or a leaky toilet? It might actually amaze you. Last summer my water bill went up considerably from one month to the next, very considerably. I knew that I had not used a lot of extra … Continue reading Keep Your Eye on the Details
Yes, I knew eventually I was going to do it. Each time that I added water to the humidifier, I told myself “deliberately” to not forget to put the lid on the tank before I flipped it back over. But each time I did it, I knew there was going to be a time when … Continue reading A Visible Picture to Others
Good grief! Tax documents are coming in. That is actually not a really big deal for me, but it is the act of getting them done and in the mail that stresses me out a little bit. I don’t know why.

Then also, have you ever been able to help someone else out when you were not really able to do it? Either way it takes looking inside and having the … Continue reading Help Us Look to Others
The treadmill is coming home! Back a few years ago mom wanted a recumbent bike like the one they had at Rehab. I took my (beloved) treadmill to my brother‘s house and I bought mom a recumbent bike that was also a combination elliptical. She never liked the bike because it wasn’t similar enough to … Continue reading Walk in the Light: Think Good, Positive Thoughts – Do Good, Positive Things
Peace seems like an elusive object these days. It should not be for those that follow Jesus. He promised us peace…not the kind of peace the world would give us. The peace that Jesus gives is not really able to be explained in human terms. It slips from our grasp from time to time because … Continue reading Keep the Focus Where it Needs to Be
Do you have a home Church that you are part of? Our eternal home is not this world, so having a church community that we can call home here is so important. Being part of a Bible believing church that is filled with those that love and serve Christ is such an important aspect of … Continue reading Getting a Glimpse of Family
