Whether you’re a Star Wars fan or not, you’ve probably heard of Yoda, the Master Jedi of the series who tries to keep all the young Jedi-learners in line. Tough task, no doubt. One of the toughest was probably Luke Skywalker, a young man who grew up as a farm boy who had no idea … More Patience, My Young Padawan
Go ahead – start hollering, stand up and do jumping-jacks, or do whatever you do when something makes you really happy. Why? Because I’m taking a break from talking about Jeffrey and his college capers for awhile (Our God – Always On Time), and I’m sure some of you are relieved! What I wanted to … More Doing Right, Even When Inconvenient
“Why am I discouraged? Why is my heart so sad? I will put my hope in God! I will praise him again – my Savior and my God!” (Psalm 42:5 NLT) Do you ever wish you had a telescope where you could see what God’s doing behind the scenes? As I wrote in Roller-Coaster to … More Our God – Always On Time
Gary and I were now empty-nesters! After all the fiascos of finally getting Jeffrey settled into his dorm room at ERAU in Arizona (Is the Ride Over Yet?), we were finally back home in Oregon. And having the freedom to just go and do whatever we wanted whenever we wanted was very strange – yet … More Roller-Coaster to Bungee Jumping
As much as I enjoy a good roller-coaster occasionally, by the time the ride is over, I’m glad it’s over! Having my stomach lodged up in my throat isn’t something pleasant to me for long periods of time. I want the ‘coaster to stay on the ground for awhile! I actually thought my emotional roller-coaster was … More Is the Ride Over Yet?
Yep, what goes up, typically must go back down. When this happens on a roller-coaster it can be lots of fun, but when it’s your emotions going haywire, it’s not. Gary and I had enjoyed our first night as empty-nesters after getting Jeffrey all settled in his dorm room the day before (Well, Let’s Get … More Just Like A Roller-Coaster
As I wrote in my last post Road Trip (Continued), we finally arrived to Prescott, Arizona. We had checked into a hotel for the week, and were now in the process of getting everything put in order for Jeffrey to start college. The next morning, Embry-Riddle’s (ERAU) disability director came dropping by our hotel room. … More Well, Let’s Get Started!
Okay, we were on the road again to take Jeffrey to college in Arizona. Since we needed to make up some time since our van problems the day prior (Oh My – What A Road Trip), we set a goal to try and reach Bakersfield, California by the end of the day. On we drove … More Road Trip (Continued)
Ha! Have you ever noticed that when you’re bound and determined to follow the plan you believe God’s set out for you, all of a sudden one thing after another seems to go wrong? So started our road trip to move Jeffrey to his dream college in Arizona (Last Surgery). We had scheduled 3 days … More Oh My – What A Road Trip!
*NOTE: The occurrences I have been writing about are things that happened a few years back, and are not current! Please forgive me if there’s been any confusion. Yep I was a mess. The anesthesiologist from my thyroid surgery evidently didn’t really think I needed a good anti-nausea med for my surgery, and because of … More Last Surgery (Continued)
