I heard something recently that has stayed with me since. In a YouTube video, writer Nadia Bolz-Weber expounded on The Lord’s Prayer by adding words and phrases which gave visualization and depth to the original prayer/scripture. I thought this method was beautiful; it brought nuance and color to a sometimes rote prayer I have recited […]
The Chosen – to Watch, or Not?
To watch The Chosen, or not to watch? That was my question. I had seen ads for the The Chosen streaming series on facebook for over a year. I always scrolled past. Yeah, yeah, another movie about Jesus. I love Jesus. I am so glad he got a hold of me in my high school […]

Thank You, Betty
For the fourth time in two years, our family has lost a loved one. My sweet mother-in-law Betty moved to her eternal home on January 23, 2022. She was in her 91st year of living, and she lived it fully. It happened quickly, and then, painfully slow. She was relatively well at her 90th birthday […]

The Long Slog of ’20-21

I Thought Debt Was a Negative – Silly Me
We live in a nutty world. Nuttier than a squirrel’s stash in winter. I had a conversation with my bank a while ago that still has me shaking my head. My husband and I have a joint checking/savings account. In addition, I have a separate checking/savings account. Not because we divide the money, or I […]

Sweet, Sweet September
September has whizzed by. It was a delightful month with travel and family and a few surprises along the way. I have to say, the hubs and I have not experienced a relatively stress-free, smiley kind of month in awhile. It took us some time to adjust to not being caregivers of my folks anymore. […]
