And Now That It’s Over…
This is a familiar scene for many people. It’s almost impossible to walk through the piles of gift wrapping, empty boxes, coffee cups, and spilled juice glasses… it’s a mess.

What Could It Be?
A gift comes with many questions. “What is it?” “Is it something I want?” “Did I give the person a gift of equal or greater value?", “What if I don’t want the gift?” and on and on. But gifts, those special gifts that touch your heart…the gift that will last a lifetime are directly connected …
“Do You Know?”
It’s the question that stirs anxiety. It’s the “in between time” of the doctor saying, “it could be…” and the doctor saying days later, “the test reveals….” It’s the time delay between taking the test and when the scores are posted.

It’s Sunday and Monday morning is coming. The alarm will go off, and you will hit the floor running. After the chaos of everyone getting dressed & off to school and work, you stop at the drive-thru to get your daily caffeine push with a “Blondie” brew. You come through the doors at work like …
Hands That…
Little boys find things to do. I was around 5 years old when we lived on the farm. Our house was about 50 to 75 yards from the shop. In between the house and the shop was a pasture where I played dodge the patties. On this morning dad and the men had been repairing …

Hopefully, the trucks arrived in the cool of the morning We didn’t have forklifts to unload the truck; we had Robert and the other men at the farm.
