It is incredibly frustrating.As I sat in my office, staring off into space, trying to think of something to write about, Melissa walked in.

This line has become my home-away-from-home.Slowly but surely the cars pulled forward until I was the third vehicle in … Continue reading Daily Devotional for January 29, 2025

That’s when Bill … Continue reading Daily Devotional for January 28, 2025

Some changes need to happen.I realized I would not be able to use either of our tractors because they ride too rough and would damage my back.

Jo is Shannon ‘s caregiver. She does a great job. Part of Jo’s job is making sure Shannon eats a healthy diet. I agree with this but what Jo prepares for Shannon and what I eat aren’t always the same. Yesterday, Jo told me I needed to eat more green vegetables. I explained that pickles and jalapenos are green vegetables, … Continue reading Daily Devotional Jan. 22, 2025

I was able to get … Continue reading Daily Devotional for January 16, 2025

Yesterday, Shannon had an appointment with her hair stylist, or as I like to say, to her hairapist. That’s because a whole lot of emotional and spiritual counseling goes on in a woman’s hair salon. This is very different than my experience with a barber.A barbershop has nothing to do with therapy or expending any emotional energy. I … Continue reading Daily Devotional for January 25, 2025
