BESIDE STILL WATERS

MONDAY MINDSET
It’s Monday . . . again. The Mondays seem to come faster and faster as we trudge through our journey here on earth. As we age, time in general goes rapidly, unlike the days of our youth when it seemed … Continue reading
I AM A PARADOX

IS YOUR AGE GETTING IN THE WAY OF LIVING?

WHAT ABOUT SLEEPING FOR TWELVE HOURS?
If Betty White’s quote is true, I must be really ugly. Last night I slept for twelve hours. This has not been a common occurence for me in some time. Ever since the pandemic began, my sleeping habits have reversed … Continue reading
CAPTURING THE WIND
We had a stiff wind yesterday and a reminder that we can’t control the elements. It started out as any normal day for a couple of old retired folks. We generally get up early, do our morning devotion and talk … Continue reading
WHAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN – ALREADY HAS

RESTORATION
Thank you, God,  for trouble, depression, pain and strife. You’ve promised to be with us in all we face in life. You temper us along the way, to make us perfect day by day. At times it seems like waiting is the only thing … Continue reading
EMBRACE THE ORDINARY

DOES NEW LIFE COME FROM A COCOON?

CRAZY HOLIDAYS
Today is March 9th, which also happens to be False Teeth Day. I really get a kick out of the many holidays available to celebrate. Who thinks these up anyway and why would a day be set aside for fake … Continue reading
SPRING CLEANING
Actually, I generally fall asleep when I read, so that excuse isn’t going to work anymore. Spring time is a great opportunity to sweep away the cobwebs and sorrows – or is that “Tomorrow?” In any event, spring often conjures … Continue reading
IF YOU DON’T MIND, IT DOESN’T MATTER
Actually the above statement is untrue. I haven’t been to the doctor in over a year. The only medical attention I’ve had recently is getting my COVID19 shot. My doctor, however, is an amazing woman. I miss seeing her, because … Continue reading
