I’ve always loved the photo on the left. It was taken on my baptism day in 1958. Mom looked so happy. Fast forward 52 years. The photo on the right was taken on Mom’s 75th birthday. . What do I think about on Mother’s Day? I think about Alzheimer’s Disease. Last year, I wrote THIS post about my [...]

May 13, 2012Sunday Service – Kids Are Heroes
May 6, 2012We can learn a lot from children. They have an innocent and natural motivation to help people.

Sunday Service: Spring cleaning, Spring giving
March 25, 2012While I enjoy a few days of R&R, here is a timely re-post from the start of Spring last year… Spring officially began [this week.].

March 15, 2012Monday, on a flight from Chicago to Columbus, I sat next to Elvis. Well, sort of.

The others were sitting in the two [...]

While I plugged away at a project for work, my husband went outside and cleared the snow from our driveway. Listening to the morning news, I heard that in the New York City area, not too far from where most of our family [...]

Americans who do not have to report to work tomorrow are encouraged to view it as a day on instead of a day off - a day to serve to the local community. While doing some research for this [...]
