The Most Beautiful Thing

I saw the most beautiful thing yesterday. It started at a "Celebration of Life" service. For those of you unfamiliar with the term, it's another term for a funeral--except I would say that we celebrate the life of the deceased at this kind of service instead of mourning the loss of their presence. The lady who passed away was a friend of ours, the Sunday School teacher of all of our children, and a loving friend and mentor to many others. Proof: the church was packed. (Our church was more full for her service than it is on Christmas Eve!)…

How Can We Pray for Each Other This Week?

I want to take a nap. It's just one of those days. For one thing, it's raining.  And another thing: I was up past my regular bedtime last night. And right now I'd (ALMOST) give up my right arm just for some caffeine, except the problem is that I've told myself, "No soda except on weekends."  Darn brain trying to teach me how to be healthy.  Now's when I REALLY wish I liked coffee. But I digress. It is a slow week so far, yes.  (And yes, I know it's only Tuesday.)  What a change from a week ago. But, you…

Reading List Review: November 2015

Well, enough of my gabbing. Here's what I read during the month of October: Happiness by Randy Alcorn The Power of Prayer to Change Your Marriage by Stormie Omartian One More Step…
