OUT OF THE CHAOS 03.17.2022
Does God speak to you? Do you hear him? Better yet, do you listen to him? Sometimes I don’t want to hear what someone has to say so I have sophisticated ways of tuning out the voice. I learn it from my grandchildren. First strategy: keep moving and making noise. Twirling, singing, talking, dancing, running …

We have two homes — one in Indiana and one in Florida. Some people have their primary residence and a cottage on the lake or a cabin in the woods or both. I just returned from our vacation home in Florida. The house in Florida is great. It’s a small townhome; one home in a …

Monday’s post stayed in my head. I didn’t get the words on paper, I barely had them in order in my head. The idea was there, but it didn’t blossom or grow. Friday my daughters picked me up at the airport. We went for dinner together to welcome me home, followed by a girls’ sleepover …

Immunity support, pain relief and improved mood are just a few of the long term …
OUT OF THE CHAOS 02.24.2022
Children provide a great deal of entertainment — even when they are being absolutely serious and horrified about something. It behooves me to contain my laughter when my 2 1/2 year old granddaughter shakes her finger or stomps her foot in indignation. Last evening was classic. She and her sister had spent the day with …

Did anyone capture the date and time yesterday when it all coincided? 2:22 p.m. on 2/22/22? My brother was on a Zoom call and was able to click a photo during that one minute. As we anticipated the minute when all numbers would be two, my mother asked if something was supposed to happen. No. …

17Then Abraham bowed down to the ground, but he laughed to himself in disbelief. “How could I become a father at the age of 100?” he thought. “And how can Sarah have a baby when she is ninety years old?” Genesis 17:17 12So she laughed silently to herself and said, “How could a worn-out woman …
