A Unique Gift
“Your presence is a unique gift to the world.” As I sat in the hospital with my “Christian” during his recent knee bleed, I started to think about the amount of time I was with him. I wanted to “work”, and I had my laptop and some papers, but I was only able to keep...
A Knee on the Mend
"Christian's" right knee is finally on the mend 🙂 He is moving it around without crying in pain and can straighten it more that it had been previously. I hate when my son has to be confined to bed. You do everything you can to help them pass the time, and...
It Just Blew Up
"Christian" had been complaining of pain in his knee for severral days. Last Friday we infused per our bleed protocol and over the weekend, all seemed well...until Monday. We infused per a bleed again, I went to the school to give a second dose and ended...
Music…..passion
I remember my sister coming home from school one day (she was a junior in high school and I was in 5th grade) with an instrument for me. She had told her band director that I made good grades and Mrs. D said, "then she is going to play oboe." I soon started taking...
Falling Into Place
Don't you just love it when all the pieces just fall into place? It's like when you play Solitaire on the computer and you win...you get to see all of the cards move into place and the cards go crazy! I love the "crazy" part 🙂 We went to Rio Rancho this weekend,...
Condemnation or Restoration?
Imagine a condemned building. Dangerous. Unfit. Unusable. Have you ever felt that way? Condemned? At some point in your life, you may have been in a pit of despair. Perhaps dealing with a deep, dark depression that smothers you. Maybe your financial situation...
BIG Happenings!
When our family stepped out in faith six years ago to come to New Mexico (without a house even rented) it was exhilarating! We knew that we were following the path that Christ had laid out for us. Yes, it was a bit scary, but when you know you are being led, the fear...
What if?
I remember one of my former students, "Mayra." She was a little, bitty sixth grade oboe player. I taught her how to open her instrument case, put her fingers on the instrument and make "sounds". The thing about Mayra was that she always had questions. "What if I...
Language
I'll be honest about something. The thing that scares me the most about continuing Seminary is the "language." When you are in school, your writing takes on a new langage. An academic style. I've been writing columns and blogs for quite a while and it does not...
Familiarity
My "Christian" and I are in the infusion suite gettin an infusion of IVIG. Hie immune system needed a little boost, so we will be out in a few hours. As Christan says, "easy peasy lemon squeezie".I really feel like the brace we had made in Denver has made...
