Aging. I’m not a fan. The wrinkles, the loss of vision and hearing, the debilitating aches and pains. I feel so bad for my husband. 🙂 Nah. That’s me too . . .… Continue reading

On death and aging

I’m 68 years old. And a half. (I like to be precise.) This series of posts is about what life is like for a 68 1/2 year old woman. Maybe you can relate.… Continue reading

She persisted

Now is the time for great faith. If you’re a Christian, as I am, you’ve likely been asking God to intervene in the affairs of our nation to restore righteousness and reason, as… Continue reading

We are his cause

A lot of us humans have a pet cause, which is one of the things that sets us apart from the animal kingdom – our pets don’t have a human cause. But, of… Continue reading

Now is the day of salvation, but night is coming

Driving the Ohio turnpike in a winter storm at night is, shall we say, adventuresome. Snow completely covering the road and blowing everywhere, drivers having to guess where the lanes are while struggling… Continue reading
