Living Bible
My aunt sent this to me…what a great reminder. I don’t know who originated it, but I will definately send it on. Thank you Aunt Nora! His name is Bill. He has wild hair, wears a T-shirt with holes in it, jeans, and no shoes. This was literally his wardrobe for his entire four years Continue reading →
Change
Change is hard. Maybe I am stating the obvious but the past couple of weeks have been full of change for me and those important to me. We have experienced deaths, illness, kids moving home, kids moving on, birthdays, new jobs, no jobs, new leadership, new freedoms, lost youth (ok I turned 46 this week!), Continue reading →
Grace Of Home
250 miles south of Chicago there is a place I get to go to that reminds me of my truths and my center. Where the trees sway in the soft, first breezes of spring and the stars fight each other for room in the sky. There is a swing on the porch and you can Continue reading →
Whatever Happened To The Busy Signal?
When was the last time you got a busy signal? I can’t even remember. Everyone I know has call-waiting or voice mail that picks up instead. I miss the busy signal.

No judgement, no finger-pointing, no “should haves.” I came away rejuvenated on so many levels. Just knowing that I have people in Continue reading →
Worthless v. Worthwhile
This morning over a cup of coffee my husband and I began discussing how one knows if something is worthwhile or worthless? And can something be both? Part of this comes from the fact that we are trying to grow the pile of stuff we are donating to our church’s rummage sale. But the bigger Continue reading →

Today is April 11, 2007. We have more than a couple of inches of snow on the ground here in Chicago. Yuk. So today’s suggesstion: 12. Shovel (or snowblow) the houses on either side of you or an elderly person on your block. Happy Spring!
Make A Difference – #11
One of my favorite bible stories is when Jesus washed the feet of the disciples. And he did this for all of them, including Judas who would shortly betray him. He served these men in the most basic and servile way possible. Whenever I hear it I think about my service to others — even Continue reading →
