Three Years
Dear Jim, What would I say to you if I could see you today, three years after you left earth for heaven? I know that there are events and thoughts that happen all the time that I want to tell you about. For example, I work at church now as an Admin in the Student…
My post today as I get ready for tomorrow…
This is morbidly funny on the anniversary eve of Jim’s graduation to glory! (Just the kind of thing he would have told) (A lesson to be learned from typing the wrong email address!!!!) A Minneapolis couple decided to go to Florida to thaw out during a particularly icy winter. They planned to stay at the…
Colored Toilet Paper
What ever happened to colored toilet paper?! It just dawned on me as I was driving by a house that had been toilet papered that it was all white! Now I am aware that I have seen many “TP”ed houses and have even participated in my share over the years, but the house I saw…
Emily is 21!
Where does the time go? You are a full grown woman and I am not sure how that happened!? A Letter to my 21 year old daughter: Today you are 21 years old. Birthdays mean something different to parents than they do to kids. To us, we cannot help but think about the day our…

Fingers on a chalkboard!
Have you ever seen one of those memes that talk about the “olden days”, how “you know you are a boomer if…”, or talk about things that kids today will never understand? Things like: I remember when a tweet was something that birds did, gay was another word for happy, facebook was a yearbook, surfing…
17 years of Clayton! Play the Man!
Dear Clayton, I want to encourage you on your 17th birthday to “play the man”. When you are surrounded by the Enemy, when you are feeling overwhelmed and fearful, remember that others have been there before you. Joab first said it to his brother in 2 Samuel 10:12 when he took his best men and…
