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.

Hebrew with Pie

I spent much of the day studying Hebrew. To make the task doable and help my brain retain, I took frequent breaks. I got a pie ready and in the oven. On another break I did some cleaning, and another was a calisthenics break. Well, my military daughters would argue with that term if they saw my version, but it works for me.

I am anxious to become proficient in Biblical Hebrew as well as conversational, hence the big push. I want to study the scriptures in Hebrew. I also would like to have some comprehension by the time I go to Israel in April.

But I am through with my linguistic studies for today. The last straw was when I read an exercise sentence which turned out to be the Sh'ma and at the end, thrilled I could read it, I shouted Oui! (French for yes). Time to quit for the day.

Five of our daughters are together in Denver right now. One lives in CA and one lives here in Orlando, but the Denver area is home to the other three. They haven't all been in one place for some time and are making the most of this special get together.

Well, time for delving into Jeremiah a bit before Richard comes home. Dinner is ready, also the pie. (ש"ע) עוגה; פשטידה, פאי
