Is It a Heart Condition… or a Condition of the Heart?
A couple of weeks ago, a friend shared that her husband had a heart attack. After a whirlwind of tests, doctors inserted a stent — and now? He feels like a million bucks. His family is relieved, and he’s got a new pep in his step (and probably fewer burgers in his diet). Along with…
Can’t You Feel It? The Feeling is Everywhere!
Those are some of the words to David Foster’s theme song of the 1988 Winter Olympics in Calgary, Alberta. We were there and we felt it from our vantage point at the Opening and Closing Ceremonies where our daughter was a soloist and member of the Coca Cola World Chorus. Indeed we were inspired in…
We Can Learn from God’s Creation
There is nothing like welcoming my new husband to our “together” place of residence AND then him hearing my cry for help. I came home to find an abundance of ants on my kitchen counter. I opened my pantry door, and there was a squadron of ants inside an open package of Ritz crackers –…
She’s Got Her Fall On
For a couple of weeks, I’ve walked by a neighbor’s door (seen here) that already had her Fall décor up. It jolted me because my mind wasn’t on Fall yet since we still have hot weather here. But then I remembered shopping at Hobby Lobby and their Fall décor was out and people were buying.…
Our Non-Negotiables
Family rules. This is a sign I had made for my “Wuerch” family. When I see it in their home, it reminds me of what family values should look like. Those should be the non-negotiables in our lives. And I’m not just talking about our own family, but it includes our “God” family. He’s our…
Is Life Bland to You?
I enjoy taking a bite of my yogurt, blueberries, and granola with a quick follow-up of coffee. There’s something about having a sweet taste combined with yummy coffee. I go for the flavored-coffee pods. This day, however, the coffee is bland every time I take a sip. I carry on with it being bland through…
One Handful is Just Enough
A friend called me a few days ago asking for advice. Like many, they wear many hats aka many responsibilities in their busy life. They needed respite. They were exhausted. They needed peace. I love how God prepares me ahead of time for calls like this. It was that very same morning that I had…
Can this Pain be for Good?
Yesterday was the 20th anniversary of 9/11. We remembered. And, as horrendous that day was, so are the atrocities of evil in Afghanistan. And, then there are the victims of the recent hurricanes that ravaged homes and lives. And, what about those who have suffered and died from Covid? Suffering and pain continue. Of course,…
White in September?
I put on a summer blouse and white slacks on Friday. Looked in the mirror, but I remember the trend that “white must go in September”. So I promptly changed to black slacks. Then I went over to the amenity center and saw some friends and asked “Do we still think that we shouldn’t wear…
Can’t You Feel It? The Feeling is Everywhere!
Those are some of the words to David Foster’s theme song of the 1988 Winter Olympics in Calgary, Alberta. We were there and we felt it from our vantage point at the Opening and Closing Ceremonies where our daughter was a member of the Coca Cola World Chorus. What a time we all had! Actually…
