I feel like a prayer failure
I believe in the power of prayer. I believe all of the verses that promise my prayers are heard, are Powerful and effective. But often when I am praying the”BIG”prayers, I wonder where I have gone wrong.
I have to stop every now and then to avoid a full blown pity party. [...]

Can I do a Dementia Care Training?
Yesterday, mom moved to skilled care and got a roommate. Her roommate’s memory is much like hers. She does still know her children, but she can’t remember how old she is or who the president is (does that really matter?!)
Her daughter, however, kept drilling her. The staff told her that her mother’s [...]

Week Seven and it’s a whole new ball game
Today marks the seventh Thursday mom has been with us, but on Monday things changed. We took mom to lunch on Monday and right after we returned home, she fell in the driveway. She broke her leg at her hip. It’s more cracked than broken, but it’s still painful.
So tonight [...]

Six Weeks and Counting
It’s nearly 2 a.m. and I’m still awake. I want to be sleepy. I went to bed about 12:30, but I laid there wide awake. That’s really pretty unusual for me. Normally I can fall asleep in the middle of a storm and sleep through anything. But since my mother-in-law moved [...]

Blessed
I have been truly blessed. Many folks struggle with their in-laws, but mine have been wonderful. There have been times we haven’t seen eye to eye, but my mother and father-in-law have always been tremendously supportive and never interfered with raising the girls.

Welcome!
I was recently invited to visit another church for a special event. When I arrived, the folks that had invited me weren’t around yet, but I didn’t know that.
I went in and several people said hi as they passed by. Many folks smiled and nodded, but even more didn’t acknowledge my presence. [...]

The Day after the Palms
I want to do something different this Holy Week . . . Something that will help me focus more on Christ and what He did for me. So this week, I’ll be reflecting on Jesus last days.

Tuesday of Holy Week
I read this scripture early this morning, but circumstances have prohibited me writing any thing until tonight. On the way have from Praise Team practice, I reflected on my day compared to Jesus’ Holy Week Tuesday. My day was pretty routine. I had to get some groceries, and a couple of the [...]
The Day of Silence
WEDNESDAY OF HOLY WEEK
This is the day that the theologians call the day of silence, but somehow with Jesus, I picture it more as the unrecorded day. We can only speculate what really went on during this ominous Wednesday.
We know that just before bed last night Jesus was anointed with oil probably [...]

Maundy Thursday
It’s Thursday . . . the first day of a happy celebration on the Jewish calendar. Jesus and his disciples will eat the Passover on the opening day of the festival. The day probably consisted of preparations. Someone had to get the Lamb ready, others prepared the room. At least [...]
