Kate said care. When I was a little girl we attended Grace Bible Chapel, a Brethren Assembly Fellowship, Exclusive… don’t ask. Once a month the Sunday evening service included hymn requests – now, back then we sang from hymn books [Hymns of Grace and Truth] and my favorite hymn was page 100. If the leader… [Read More]
Water Restrictions
Water Restrictions “Drink more water!” “Stay hydrated.” “Drink half your body weight in ounces!” And, the list goes on. But, when I left the hospital with the diagnosis of congestive heart failure I was told to limit my daily liquid intake to 71 ounces. When you start tracking your sips, that isn’t much. I was… [Read More]

Five Minute Friday: Teach
Kate said teach. Friday, August 20th, 2021. As I always do on Friday mornings I checked in on Five Minute Friday and the word prompt of the week. As it turned out TEACH was more appropriate than I gave it credit. I felt horrible. I could hardly breathe and my body was swollen like a… [Read More]
