Follow Me
In the days prior to grandchildren, the office in our home was neatly decorated to resemble a small family room with a love seat, beautiful lamps and a nice side table. It was cozy, comfortable, and the choice place adults could go for some quiet time to engage in great conversation during family get-togethers. The large pi... (more)
Planes, Pains And Opportunities
Theresa’s Adventures in Flying recently sent me to Abilene Texas to celebrate my grandson Preston’s first birthday. With each new flight it seems like another opportunity to add a chapter, or at least, educate myself on the nuances of air travel. On this occasion, just as I was finishing a chapter in the book I brought alon... (more)
Soaking In His Presence
A few years ago our eldest daughter Christina spent a semester of college in Spain, experiencing the Spanish language. As with most young people, she had been sheltered from the ways of the world and totally unprepared for the foreign culture. She discovered that life in the small towns of Spain were not quite as romantic a... (more)
Pilates For The Soul

Addressing Turbulence From A New Perspective
When I first started flying on a regular basis a few years ago, I must admit, it made me a bit nervous.

Capturing the essence of love may be beyond my vocabulary but I shall not be dissuaded. Love is worthy of my best efforts, especially having experienc... (more)
City Of Hope
There is nothing as encouraging as learning about someone who has radically changed their ways to follow Jesus Christ. While ministering at The Healing Room on Wednesday, I over heard some of the ladies speaking about Steve Collett, a man from Clay County Kentucky, who is helping change lives for Christ. Desiring more infor... (more)
Souls In Flight
It was unusual for a week to go by and not hear from my friend Cindy. Even though she lives outside Chicago, in Rockford, we maintain our long distance friendship by telephone and occasional visits to each other’s homes. Our twenty years of weekly conversations served as a personal journal, without all the writing. ... (more)
A Mothers' Blessing
What were you doing twenty years ago today? Were you making plans or were you seeing plans come together? God’s plan was coming together for me as I lay in the hospital with an abdomen the size of a stability ball. It seems like only yesterday the doctor was informing me that I was carrying twin sons. Immediately I began to... (more)
A Hiding Place
My first day of school in August 1970 was a high voltage sensory experience of sights, sounds and smells. My parents told me that my Catholic education was a privilege for me and a sacrifice for them, so I had better pay attention. And attention I paid. Sitting like a red hot poker in my small wooden desk I absorbed every s... (more)
