Our short but pleasant visit drew to a close. “Before you go,” she said, “I have to get something off my mind.” Nancy, my friend and my great-niece-in-law, shifted on the plush, white sofa. “It’s been buzzing around in my head, and I have to get it out.” “Oh, my,” I thought. “What did I […]

On a perfectly beautiful autumn day, I visited a dear friend in Salem. Shirley had been a pastor’s wife at Hinson Baptist Church and, in the early 2000’s, the founder of a women’s group modeled on the Red Hat phenomenon. She introduced me to the Passion Translation by presenting me with its New Testament and […]

On the ninth day of Christmas, my True Love gave to me time to work through a stack of donation requests; a supper of delicious homemade bean soup enjoyed with friend, Gayle; and a rousing time of singing Gospel songs at the Gospel Jam held at North Clackamas Bible Church. But wait!!!! How about the […]

Christmas, 2025, is my first in a studio apartment. For all previous Christmases, I have enjoyed the space that a house provides for decoration from a six-foot tree and lots of presents under it to candles and collections of snowmen and holiday books. After the house and the yard were dressed in lights and color, […]

I glean my ideas for my weekly posts from everyday moments. For instance, I was walking into the sanctuary at Resurrection Lutheran Church, facing the front wall which is 50% glass, showing off the spectacular color of changing trees outside, and a word bubbled up from memory and stuck. BLISS! A simple definition given by […]

Post #45, sent a week ago on October 25th, received only one response of congratulation. (Thank you, Nancy!) I cannot believe there were no other comments nor electronic book orders from readers taking advantage of the 25% author’s discount on the first printing of Doggie Devotionals: Dog Is To Human as Human Is To God.

At last! It happened Friday afternoon! Doggie Devotionals went into distribution mode of the publication process!! SO, THIS MEANS THAT YOU CAN— Although Doggie Devotionals will appear on book-selling sites world-wide, it is from Amazon orders that BookBaby will determine how many books to print. So, as BB has written, The more eyeballs you send […]

Another busy week, made so by an internal move within my apartment. I moved my office from one corner to the other side of the room, getting rid of an Ethan Allen writing desk about 80 years old, a legacy from my Aunt Anita. It was another opportunity to downsize. That meant sorting through files; […]

Throughout this week I have pondered what to write in my 43rd post. I could have told you about locking myself out of my car last Sunday, about Jodie at Winco going above and beyond expected customer service, and about finding the passenger window down enough to get my arm in to unlock the door.
