…………so I will simply share a few of my recent smiles:

Caril, one of my best high school friends, took the time to come to see me in Corning the other day.
Coleen, former co-worker and good friend, also took the time to come to see me.  Both wanted to share the day with me.  I love [...]

Denzil Elie Poyner / November 13, 1940 – August 25, 2009
I am sure most of you have seen the poem, or writing, about the dash that separates our date of birth from our date of death.  The dash is relevant because it reflects the story of our life.  Some do marvelous things within that dash.  [...]

I will be making an attempt to begin my brother’s funeral service today by singing Amazing Grace myself.  Would appreciate your prayers 2pm Memphis time.
I’ll see you again Sunday evening.  Until then, God bless and keep you.

This is one very tired blogger checking in briefly to let you know I will be absent for a few days.  My brother, Denzil, who has lived in a nursing home in Piggott, Arkansas, for the past 2-1/2 years, has been in and out of the hospital for the last month.  He had gastric problems, [...]

You may find this hard to believe, but Barney likes to play pool.  And he’s very good at it.  I’m going to try and find a picture that reflects his skill but don’t know if I can.
Our pool table, since Johnny and Michael married and left home, has been mostly used for things other than [...]

Today I have received two phone calls that have made me think of turning to the Psalms for inspiration and encouragement.
The first was to tell me about the death of a cousin in another state.  If you have been reading my blogs this summer, you may remember a series I called “The Good Folks in [...]

I mentioned a couple of nights ago about the study book I am in to, Becoming a Vessel God Can Use by Donna Partow.  Below is an excerpt that had been underlined and asterisked by the friend who gave it to me, and I found it to be eye-opening and powerful, too.
THE MAJESTY OF OUR [...]

One member of my household duo had to go in to see her oncologist today in follow-up from the PET scan done one day last week.  Results of PET scan reading were “perfect.”  She aced it!!  While sitting around waiting, I picked up a book entitled “Healing with Humor,” and chuckled at a lot of [...]

Spent most of the day running some much needed errands and taking care of some paper work that needed doing.  I was up early due to Barney’s schedule and found it to be a beautiful morning outside.  It was cool enough, even though it grew hot later in the day, to make me [...]

This is the title of a study book I am working my way through.  Author is Donna Partow.  Recently, people have been reading my mind a lot.  Some sermons and this book seem to be written just for me.  I can’t imagine how these people get inside my mind…………..and that could be dangerous!
