It has been 5 months today since Frank went to be with our Lord.  Seems longer in some ways, shorter in others.  I just wish I had spent more time sharing with him.  I guess (so I read) there are always some regrets.  Although, I am so glad that we had no quarrel left between … Continue reading 5th month

Yesterday was hard.   I am trusting God to lead me through the stages of death, but I never seem to know just where I am in this whole process.  I love serving my Lord through the church and at Remington Park as He has lead me to do.  I love the people He has … Continue reading Reality of Death

I kept trying to think today of another person I could call to go eat lunch with me.  I've meet with 4 ladies this week at 2 different times for lunch, so I didn't want to ask them again.  I don't want to be obnoxious.  So I thought about take-home, but really didn't want to … Continue reading Dining alone

I guess my life to some would be considered uneventful.  No drama going on. No hate anywhere. Just a whole bunch of sweet family and friends who love me (why?) and most love Jesus.  I am, though sorrowful at times due to loss of my honey (loss here not hereafter) and the aloneness (I refuse … Continue reading Uneventful
