Making Room for Dialysis
One of my little projects has been to move the lovely, but HUGE table out of our dining area. This lovely dining table belonged to his grandparents and is part of a set of antique dining furniture. The whole set is beautiful, but that darned dining table is ENORMOUS. It doesn't fit very well in... Continue Reading →
Separating Families at Our Borders
I love my country. I don't always love what our representatives do. Case in point - our immigration policies. We claim to be a Christian country, but yet we are separating one of the most sacred units we have as Christians. Our family units are precious and we should treat EVERYONE'S family unit as such....

Single. Time. This was re-posted by a friend and I sure hope this girl leaves this album... Continue Reading →

So for kicks and giggles, I found this random slogan generator and put my name in to see what comes up. I don't know who created this thing, but it came up with hilarious... Continue Reading →
Racism in America: Why Can’t We All Just Quietly Listen?
A friend of mine posted this article and it showcases a very real thing happening in our country. I've witnessed it. Take a few moments to read it. It's a bit long, but read it anyway: NY Times A Quiet Exodus: Why Black Worshipers Are Leaving White Evangelical Churches Before I go further, let me... Continue Reading →
Mouse in the House
I was sitting on the couch working on an article when suddenly I heard a bit of scratching. Our dog was entrenched firmly in his spot after heedlessly crawling over me to get there. He was in no mood to move. Then I saw the source of the scratching: We have a mouse in... Continue Reading →
The Power of Friendship
I saw the best story on CBS This Morning a few minutes ago. It was about a band of friends who take care of their mutual friend, Harriet for years. Harriet has multiple sclerosis and is confined to a wheelchair. Five nights a week, her friends rotate shifts. They massage her limbs, they play bridge, and... Continue Reading →
