Taking time in the midst of life to look for smiles every day…..

Hey Everybody

I wimped out last week and didn’t blog a few days.  And tonight I’m just dropping in to say hello and thanks to those who stop by this blog on a daily basis.  I like to think of myself as a positive person, but I’m hoping you understand when I say the last few days [...]

A Mind is a Terrible Thing to Lose

Ya’ll already know I’m older than dirt, so you won’t be surprised by this revelation tonight!  I can’t think of anything coherent or otherwise to write about because I’m trying so hard to remember one of the smiles I was going to share with you.  Whatever this was happened early in the day, as we [...]

Gleanings

Recently some mostly short thoughts have jumped out at me from the pages of my Bible or from other sources that have caught my attention and stayed in my mind for days.  I thought I would share a few of these small pearls of spiritual wisdom.  (They end up being pretty big, after all.)

Everyone has [...]

A Good Day

Just wanted to drop in and share the day with you.  It still hurts my shoulder and neck to sit at the computer for very long, so I’ll do the pretty-much-unprecedented for me and make it short.  I couldn’t let today pass without telling you about a simple occurrence, but one that is very significant [...]

Idol Comments

Well, the boy from Conway, Arkansas was crowned American Idol 2009, and I’m tickled.  He would not have been my first choice; Danny Gokey was my favorite.  After Danny, though, Kris had my full support.  After all, if you have Razorback blood running through your veins………………………..well, you know!    Kris IS good.  I would [...]

Counting my Blessings

The last couple of months have been puny times for me.  I’m not really sick that much; I’m purported to be the hale and healthy one at my house!    But some weeks back, I had my 99th nasty sinus infection of the year and was kind of out of it for at least [...]

AHA Moments

Ever had an Aha moment in your spiritual journey?  I read today about 4 Aha moments.  I could not help but call them such.
AHA MOMENT #1:  My Power for Today devotional directed me to John 20:3-9 with a focus on verse 8, “Finally, the other disciple, who had reached the tomb first, also went inside.  [...]

My Monday

I spent most of today doing what I’ve been doing for several days now, and that is petting my poor shoulder and neck, the one that has shingles on it. Greg and Cecil said it would sure be nice when the other member of the household and I get on the same page and [...]

Dropping in With a Smile or Two

My present condition (shingles) not being conducive to an extended blog , I just wanted to drop in with a Sunday evening hello and a few smiles.
TODAY’S SMILES:
1. Cooler temps and sunshine.
2. Talking with friend Coleen who feels very sorry for me!
3. Barney Cat watching for me to leave [...]

Good News, Bad News

First, the good news!  We have a brand spanking new baby boy born into the family today.  Tyree entered the world this afternoon, on his Uncle Bryan’s birthday.  Tyree’s groggy mom e-mailed his picture to us on the cell phone while I was waiting in the doctor’s office myself!  He weighed 6 pounds and 3 [...]
