One of the advantages of school nursing is the schedule. I get to be home every evening. I never work weekends or holidays. I get two week vacations in the fall, winter and spring, and a two month break in the summer. But every time I have one of these…

I heard this story the other day on the radio about a woman who was boarding a plane: A woman was in a hurry to get to her plane from the airport shop she was in, so she grabbed a bag of cookies and a magazine, hurried to her gate…

You have said, “Seek my face.” My heart says to you, “Your face, LORD, do I seek.” – Psalm 27 I think the necessity of nursing babies and folding laundry (two things that require- if you want to do it right- undivided attention) are holy prayer places. When I had…

What a day. A Husband out of town day. A 3rd grader book report day. A PERFECT Phoenix-area fall weather day! Its a tease though. I wish it would stay that way. Next week it supposed to be in the mid 90’s again. I’m ready for sweaters, and spice candles,…

Came back from my morning walk and had this song pop in my head. Nothing like a little Aretha singing the good news to wake you up right! I took the boys to West Fork Trail today, north of Sedona. It was a beautiful day! Fall leaves. Lots of color. …

I need to expand my vocabulary. “Yummy”, “cool”, “weird”, “beautiful”, and “awesome” are used way too often. I get tired of editing myself for the multiple use of the same words. Texting is NOT helping. I really don’t know all the texting abbreviations, but I’m starting to find myself wanting…

We went to The Mystery Castle in Phoenix today. Take 7th street as far south as you can go, take a right and you’re there. There’s a fee to get in, but I think its worth it. The man who built that place must have been a bit odd, but…

Continue reading →: You never know
In the district I work, nurses have to work late on the Thursday of parent/teacher conference night. So last night I was there until eight, hence no blog post. You never know what can happen in a day. Your house could catch fire. Your grandchild could drown in your pool…

I shy away from confrontation. I therefore don’t really enjoy politics or debates. I don’t say this as an indication of my good character. It’s more an indication of my cowardliness and people-approving tendencies. In me is a desire to live, more than speak, my convictions, but I know I…
