I don’t deal well with losses. Last night we sold our little Tercel. It made me sad and kept me up part of the night. He (he is a “he” to me although people say cars are female) was such a good little car for us. He was easy to maneuver, got good gas mileage, […]

No problem in this relationship: There’s nothing he wouldn’t do for me, and there’s nothing I wouldn’t do for him, and that’s exactly what we do. We do nothing for each other all the time, that’s right. 🙂 Heard this on Family Life radio program on the topic of conflicts in a marriage.

This is the third time I am reading Anne of Green Gables. Right now I am reading it aloud to Amy each night at bedtime. I love this story of the red-headed orphan because it’s a story of victory over adverse circumstances. It’s a story of how ordinary folks can make a difference in one […]

Everyone seems to have a list of advice for the college freshmen. Here’s mine, for anyone in college: 1. Don’t believe everything you hear or read.
