A trip to Fresh Thyme Farmer’s Market has, in the past, always been quite enjoyable. COVID 19 concerns have changed all that. Now, instead of a leisurely midday meander, our trips begin before the break of dawn. We have worked hard to simplify the process — a mere 20 minutes— from John’s alarm going off […]

YOUR MONEY OR YOUR LIFE! How would YOU choose? Which is more important to YOU? The desolation of this viral attack is unimaginable! In a short span of weeks, the United States has suffered a catastrophic number of deaths due to a virus. But this viral attack is causing not only physical death but deep

It has been one month since we began embracing life in the presence of COVID 19. Our little world has dramatically changed. Last night, however, our focused tunnel vision elevated to new heights of perspective as John and I watched an Easter concert by Andrea Bocelli, live from Duomo de Milano. As light poured

Easter Sunday dawned with a bit of a chill in the air. The rain continued on and off through the day. It didn’t really matter. We were not going anywhere. We did look forward to our first family experience with ZOOM, allowing all to see each other on the screen at once. The call would be

It’s a beautiful day. I opened the window at 5:30 am and heard the birds in glorious song. So glad we have birds this year. It has taken six years to have sufficient tree growth to attract the birds. And now that we put out seed, they are in our own back yard. Today will

Last nite, John read that this week could be the peak of fatalities with the COVID virus. We are told it will be reminiscent of the Pearl Harbor experience, although that is being contested by Andrew Coumo, Governor of New York, who states that NYC numbers are beginning to decline. The ‘powers that be’ were

Prayers were fervent during Meghan’s entire first day on the COVID ICU unit. My prayers focused on keeping her safe and praying that Meghan was doing everything that SHE could do to keep the virus at bay. Thankfully, by noon, I woke up to the reality of my frail efforts! I was asking God to do what I

I awoke with no difficulty for my 5:20 am appointment, though I had only 6 hours of sleep. Somehow, time alone with the Lord was just what I longed for to start this day of fasting and prayer. No, John and I would not be on our knees for 12 hours, but we would go

I called Lyse as early as I dared, anxious to know how her night went. She reported that she had awakened four times in the middle of the night absolutely drenched in sweat. She had changed positions on her king size mattress just to avoid feeling damp, totally exhausted and unable to do anything else.

We have been missing our grandkids… alot. Seems we can’t even get them on the phone. When we do, we certainly do not feel like we are connecting…not really connecting. So when Meghan suggested today would be a good day for a drive-by visit, I was all for it! I spent the morning putting together
