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…
The Fun Favors of God — He Loves to Surprise Us
I texted this photo to my son “How do you like my new wheels?” Then I called and clarified the story to him….and now to you. Last month my car was rear-ended by a way-too-close vehicle, when I slowed coming off the tollway to let a car go by that was coming way-too-fast on the…
Pilgrimage Day 5 — Arriverderci Roma — It’s time for us to part
Aw! Italy! Bellissimo! The beauty of Italy on an early morning drive through the fields and mountains, the lush green groves of olive trees, sheep grazing, vineyards — all seen as we made our way to Assisi (about 3 hours drive on a motorcoach), the birth and burial place of St. Francis of Assisi who…

Values That Make Home…..A Sweet Home
Family rules. I saw this sign in my kids’ home, and I knew what I would post today. Family values. Those are their non-negotiables, and that’s what makes for a family who loves, shares and cares. VALUES — those specifics that define who we are and are the absolute non-negotiables in our lives. When God…
Blessed are the Merciful
Day 344 of Photo Inspirations — Blessed are the Merciful We’re into the Advent/Christmas Season by a couple of weeks now, and though it’s the most wonderful time of the year, we’ve all probably had an occasion to be unhappy and disgruntled with someone or something. And, BIG surprise….. someone might even be unhappy with…
The Golden Rule
Day 264 of Photo Inspirations — The Golden Rule I remember, as a kid in “public” grade school, that “The Golden Rule” was taught, and emphatically brought to remembrance when one of us needed discipline. It set the tone for our respect and appreciation for each other. The teachers would quote it to a kid…
