Sunday in morning service we sang “The Battle Belongs to the Lord”. As I stood next to Mark singing, it was the first time in over 8 years that my throat didn’t get tight with tears being pushed back to stop a flood. You see, every time I sing that song, I travel back to […]
Shum Advice
I am imparting some Shum Advice. Dr. Shum was a gracious, compassionate, wise pediatrician. If only I have paid more attention to his words & deeds.

She had to have a purple tutu. Then […]
Rattling My World
This morning is literally rattling my world! It has been a long time coming. I had plenty of time to adjust, but I forget how disturbing it is to have changes to your home. This morning jackhammers & skidloaders began removing concrete from my back patio. As I calmly, this is how I picture it […]
