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
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
Quite a few years ago, I was at a church where we were going through a time of transition. There was nothing wrong in the church. It was a time when people were coming in and out and you couldn’t tell if they really cared. They would come to church Sunday morning and then that … Continue reading Look at How You Can Lessen the Load
I can see that getting older slows me down in different ways. I will hear something that sounds like a really good idea and I write down a phrase or a sentence that I want to write about later. Then I get distracted with something else and forget to write down the thoughts that I had … Continue reading Service as We Look Toward the Twilight Years
I had a friend that went through a messy situation for a little bit because of an incident that happened in a moment in time. There were words said on both sides that probably shouldn’t have been said. There were hurt feelings, maybe on both sides, but undeniably on one side more than the other. … Continue reading Help Me See Understanding in the Wisdom
I am blessed and proud to be a citizen of the United States of America. I still get chills when I hear our national anthem. I was raised in a day when we began our school days with a prayer—to God—and the Pledge of Allegiance. We would sing, “This Land Is Your Land,” and, “America … Continue reading How Does It Look to Be a Heavenly Citizen in an Earthly Body?
