Other than the second round of shots for Barney, it’s been a pretty routine day (probably didn’t feel so routine to him!), so I’ll just go to the bottom line and share my smiles, several of which occurred on the visit to the vet’s office.  It’s heartwarming to watch an animal doctor who truly loves [...]

I heard Randy, in a Wednesday night class a couple of years ago, refer to an “aha” moment in his spiritual/church life.  I’ve had some of those but just didn’t know what to call them.  Since I do now know what to call them, I will share with you that I’m having a lot of [...]

As promised a day or so ago, I want to share with you something I noticed in a reading of II Chronicles recently, having to do with Hezekiah, God, and some people who weren’t ”cleaned up” to worship, that has never struck me before.  You know how that happens?  You read over a passage 100 times; then, all [...]

I’m writing Monday night’s blog early Tuesday morning on account of a lack of a modern convenience on Monday night.  We had a fairly good thunderstorm roll through, and our power was knocked out for a few hours during that prime time at which I would have been posting a blog!
Fortunately, we had a couple of [...]

We have a WWII ex-POW for a neighbor.  He lives across the street from us.  I wonder what his thoughts are on this Sunday night, the eve of Memorial Day.  The last couple of years, on Veterans Day, we have baked cookies or muffins and taken to him with a simple “thank you” taped to [...]

I plead temporary insanity, but I agreed to be at Michael and Brigitt’s house by 6am tomorrow to take “Emmy duty,” for most of the day.  Yes, I know I arrived at work for years at 6:30, but that was a year and a half ago!  She’s an early riser, too, so there isn’t going [...]

Part of my reading today included the story of the prodigal son in Luke.  There are many parallels to our lives today that can be drawn from this story, and life lessons to be gleaned.  When I get around the serious, spiritual parts of it, though, I always remember that this story kind of tickles [...]

TODAY’S SMILES:

Another beautiful warm spring day with cool breezes.
An equally beautiful and pleasant evening.
The day lilies.
Jimmy.
Gail.
A conversation with Sheila.
Painting my toenails red.
A beautiful full moon.
E-mail from Sharon re: the AFLAC scam!

Hope you and all you love are doing well.  God bless.

Doris had an appointment with her internist today.  Although the stress test results still aren’t in (2 weeks and counting), the rest of what we heard was not super alarming.  All that is showing up thus far is an increased heart rate while she was wearing the 24-hour halter monitor (I guess that’s bad enough, [...]

In many ways, the weekend has been great!  It’s always special when we get to spend time with the kids, and we had Hailey and Emily for most of the weekend, thanks to their parents being out of town.  They are always a joy, and it’s fun when we have them all to ourselves.
This time, [...]
