My brother, Joey, moved to Heaven recently. Our family will be adjusting to life without him here in the physical for a long time. He had a lot of health issues, but this came suddenly to us. As it is a lot of times we weren't ready for it. Thankfully we know that he is … Continue reading The Joey I Know

The First Thanksgiving
That first year without a loved one is tough. Everyday is different with them not in your daily life, or at least where you could call them or go visit with them; share a laugh, a hug, all those things about when they were still here. Any birthday, anniversary, or holiday makes it even harder … Continue reading The First Thanksgiving
Memories, Blessings, and Treasures
In the past couple of years our family has gone through several of our members having illness that required the rest of us helping or at least praying them through. My daughter had colitis twice year before last. Roy’s mom had hip replacement that went bad early last year. It took six months for her … Continue reading Memories, Blessings, and Treasures

We can walk under it when we are picking the Scuppernongs and pick the ones we can reach through the large squares … Continue reading Precious Words
Standing Rock, Where I Left Part of My Heart
There is a place and a People tucked in a special place in my heart. They are there as strongly as when I was there with them. It’s called Cannonball on Standing Rock Reservation in North Dakota, and the Sioux American Indians there. I first met these people when we went on a mission trip … Continue reading Standing Rock, Where I Left Part of My Heart
A Few Things I’m Thankful For
I thank God for all the usual things; plenty of food, comfortable and snug home, the health of my family, and so many more things. We have two awesome “kids;” a son and a daughter, and we have an awesome relationship with them both. (Our graphic designer son designed my background for this blog site, … Continue reading A Few Things I’m Thankful For
