Jim’s Gift of Music
I decided to sell Jim’s trombone. He would want it to be played. And with the money we hope to buy a keyboard for Clayton… the music lives on! It is up for sale at BrassArk.com. Here are some pictures: Vincent Bach Prototype model 15T #170, circa 1930 So it has been a fruitful month…
60 years!
60 years ago….The world was very different than it was today. That is no surprise, but I do find it surprising that all that changes seems to happen without us realizing it. 60 years ago, life was pretty good; there were new inventions and conveniences and people couldn’t imagine life without them. Likewise, today, we…
The 5th anniversary – Nov. 5
So today is the 5th anniversary of the day Jim breathed heaven for the first time. That day will always be surreal for me as I reflect on each moment of that day. There were highlights like singing over Jim as he left the shadowlands for glory. There are regrets and things I would have…
My Spiritual Hall of Fame!
I read a facebook post by one of my friends whose train of thought went from a dog named Koufax to the Baseball Hall of Fame to her own spiritual Hall of Fame. The thought process is interesting. From there, I started wondering who would be in my Spiritual Hall of Fame if I had…

Jim’s digital footprint
The other day I was approached by a Facebook team and asked if I would be willing to give an interview about my experience with a Memorial page on the social media site, because of the way I memorialized Jim’s Facebook page. I was happy to oblige as I was hoping they would allow me…
Psalm for my Sister
Years ago when I did calligraphy, I found and adapted a poem/prayer that I made for my sister, Martha. In honor of National Sisters day (which was Sunday), I thought I would reprint it here. I will lift my eyes and smile as I give thanks for my sister. My radiant, cleverly talented and godly sister,…

Letter to my mother in law!
Dear Linda, On July 4th, 1984 (31 years ago yesterday), you became my mother in law when Jim married you and Lionel in John and MaryEllen’s backyard. I have treasured the relationship with you over the past 30 years and love how our families intertwined as the 4 Mohler siblings gained 3 more brothers. When…
