Sparks of Hope in the Flood
On July 4, 2025, a precious family from Kentfield, California, gathered at their river home in Hunt, Texas. None of us could have imagined that the fierce floods of the Guadalupe River would sweep away their cabin and take the lives of Sara, Mark, and their teenage son, Johnny. Only their 16-year-old daughter, Ellie, survived…
Let’s Keep Playing
Isn’t it easy for the ho-humness demands of daily life to take us to the town of Grumpydom! Well, not on my watch! I’m steering clear of that dreary place! You’ll find me on the joy-of-life express, and I want you to hop aboard with me. So many folks are caught up in the humdrum…
Oh, Yes, We Matter
My Bryson turns 17 today. He is my youngest grandchild and has been such a bright light in my life for these 17 years. He represents the finale of grandchildren. I’m okay with it because my life has been so full of so much joy for so many years that I am full to overflowing…
One Day Heaven Next Day Heaven-on-Earth
Yesterday, my blog was about my Sweetheart’s debut into heaven, November 16, 2010. The day after, November 17th, there was much to be done in funeral preparation. But, sandwiched in between our “earth” to do list, was a heaven-on-earth mindset. Papa was basking in heavenly peace and our little Bryson James Wuerch had his 4th…
Sign Me Up – I’ll Campaign for Him
We’re getting closer to the mid-term elections. In fact, on Monday, I’ll once again serve as an election clerk during “early voting” as well as on Election Day. I am honored to do so, and besides, I thoroughly enjoy doing it. Seeing eager people come in and exercise their right to vote. The candidates on…
See Ya’ Later!
Unlike driving to and attending a funeral before, in these times since the Covid pandemic, people can travel to the funeral via cyberspace – like the streaming for my dear Mother-in-Law’s funeral tomorrow at 10 am. I don’t know how many will be with us at the funeral home, but I know there will be…
Thinking About My Epitaph
Okay, I’m not actually thinking about my epitaph (those words written in memory of a person who has died), but I AM desiring to live in a way that when my number is called that I will have left behind some good seeds that I planted. I’m reminded of that when I attend a…
On a Day Like Today
If you lived during the sweetest of times with me (the late 50s and 60s), you’ll probably remember this old song by Pat Boone: “On a day like today we passed the time away, writing love letters in the sand”. I didn’t write in sand two days ago on the anniversary of my sweetheart’s graduation…
We’ve Got Super-Powers!
Happy 15th Birthday, Super Bryson! So my precious Bryson, the youngest of my seven awesome grandkids, turns a big 15 today! What??? How can it be? 15 years has flown by and oh the joy he has given to his Nana! His birthday is the day after his Papa’s graduation to heaven. How befitting that…
Our Wheat Crop is Flourishing
My blog for today was inspired from the “wheat” reference in my blog from yesterday. Rather it was the photo graphic I used. The words I added were: “See that graphic of a Wheat field with those affirming words about Who is in control and I’m not?” I purposedly put my name there as a…
