Rescued and Blessed
Hello. I’m Marley, the dog, and my human mom is letting me write this week’s entry. I’m a Morkie, which is part Maltese and part Yorkie. My mom rescued me when some people found me walking alone on the streets in Fresno, California. My mom saw my picture and said …
My Temporary Residence
I’m presently living in a temporary residence. I recently sold my house and am currently in a nearby retirement facility until my cottage in the Christian community behind my church is refurbished and ready for me. The cottage was my original desire, and I had been on a wait list …
Find Us Faithful
Dear Reader, I want to share something personal with you. Many of you know that my husband “changed his residence”, as a friend put it, just more than five years ago. Very suddenly, and without any warning, Frank died the morning of June 5th. I found him in the newly …
God’s Got You!
I’ve had some “woe-is-me” kind of days lately and I don’t like them. Thankfully these self-centered, uncomfortable feelings don’t last long, because in my heart, I know that I am abundantly blessed. I’m truly aware that my life could be so very different, and much worse. So, I’m not ungrateful; …

I heard a touching and precious story today that I want to share with you. It was about a pregnant dog who was in a tragic accident that severely injured her two rear legs. Her owner immediately took her to the vet for care and examination. When the exam was …
Lessons from Marley
My little rescue, Marley, is such a sweet companion! I found her about four years ago, awhile after my husband had died. We had talked about getting a dog someday, so I felt that Frank would have approved of my decision. Marley is a very social 14-pound Maltese/Yorkie mix, white …
Always on My Mind
Dear Frank, Today is yet another anniversary of living without you and remembering what used to be. It seems impossible that it’s been 5 years since you suddenly died in 2018. That’s 60 months, 1800 days, 43,200 hours, 2,592,000 minutes, and 155,520,000 seconds of being alone, but who’s counting? Some …
Be Intentional
Sometimes I do things in “auto-pilot” mode, and it isn’t always a good thing. By that I mean that sometimes I just start out on an activity or a destination but without thinking about it first. For example, I might be going to a friend’s house in NW Columbus, but …
