It's a journal. It's a devotional. It's a record of a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) survivor. It's documentation of God's activities in real time. There are good days and bad, happy times and sad... I tell it like it is. This is an unscripted walk along the meandering paths of my mind. My life has never been dull... and I've never known boredom. Read on, you'll see...

I am a happily married mother and grandmother of a large family. I've also had several careers including writer, teacher, trucker, investment and finance advisor, web master and artist. I am an ordained minister (I feel called to people, not to the pulpit) and consider my calling to Christ's service my most important role in life.

Open Windows

I read what I wrote yesterday. BAD! Spelling, syntax, grammar... all of them took a licking. This evening, I hope to be kinder to the reader and the language.

My windows are open! This is a wonderful house and I love almost everything about it... but the windows would not open. I am a fresh air freak and much prefer open windows to moderate temperatures, so I called a mobile home repair company to get estimates on several little things needing done, including my windows.

Oh sure, I could have done it myself, or perhaps not. Turns out, it was quite a project. I began to wonder if these windows were even intended to open, but after over two hours of steady work all but one window is open and I am delighting in the fresh smells and sounds wafting through my house.

Stately sand cranes often strut through my yard or settle down to rest under my electric "gas" light. Their unique warble lends a "wilderness" air to the place. Indeed, all but one of my windows look out on trees. I feel very close to nature here. It would be easy to forget I even have neighbors.

God has blessed me exceedingly. I have all I need and indeed, all I truly want... I do covet this, however, I would ask you to pray with me that a loving home be found for Hunter and Sherwood. These are two very fastidious neutered male cats who must be indoor pets and must stay together. I love them and cannot have them here. I know God has someone for them, please ask that He lead that someone to step forward.
