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 (not to the pulpit) and consider my calling to Christ's service my most important role in life.

Such Bounty!

Another wonderful Sunday. Sadly, it was the last session of our late afternoon Bible Study. We will miss it and our excellent teacher who is an engineer by vocation. He was always so very well prepared and had a depth of Bible knowledge that only comes after a lifetime of searching the scriptures.

I went grocery shopping this afternoon and found a wealth of canned Southern favorites produced by the Glory label. I had never noticed them before. Tomatoes and okra, beans and rice, sweet potato casserole and more. I stocked up. Richard made faces and poked fun at me.

It's so easy to take our bounty for granted. I can drive to a grocery store in minutes, rather than hours as when we lived on Colorado plains. I can choose from an amazing array of fresh or prepared foods, a regular feast for every taste. Unlike times in my past, I don't have to ask the clerk to check the sub-total every now and again to be sure I can pay the tab. Oh, I pray I never stop being in awe of how blessed I am!

We have a busy week coming up. Our granddaughter Tia will be here next weekend and I want to have finished the yard and have all my other projects up to date and the house freshly clean before she arrives.

And my day was like this...
  • 09:04 Leaving early for church on a glorious Sunday morning!
  • 15:31 Knowingly oblivious to mild clutter, I am curled up on the couch reading a mystery.
  • 16:12 Leaving to meet Richard for Bible Study at FBC.
