Caregivers Can Give Thanks in All Circumstances
Aging parents, grandkids, and even caregivers have major concerns. How comforting to know that, because Jesus has overcome the world, He is truly in control.
Glad that God is in Control of this Caregiver’s Life
As a caregiver, I spend a lot of time waiting. Whether it’s in a doctor’s office, therapist’s office, school pick-up line, or the post office line, it can get a little boring if there’s nothing to do. Most of the time you can find me writing, reading, or researching. Once in a while though, I […]
Talking About News For the Sandwich Generation
What is a Blog Meme? I found a lot of definitions for this, most using $5 words. Basically it boils down to several blogs writing about the same theme, each on their own site. Then they all link to one home site, so if you enjoy the article at one site, you can easily pop […]
Caregivers: You Don’t Have to Be Everywhere To Be Able to Help

Caregivers: Peace in the Midst of the Fiery Furnace
Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. Three names that many people know well, even some who haven’t read a Bible in years. If you don’t recognize their names, you might recognize this phrase – the three men in the fiery furnace! Their story is told in the book of Daniel, which I am currently studying over a […]
Prepare for Worship
Leaving the house too early yesterday, I wound up listening to a sermon on my iPod instead. I really enjoyed it. There was one point, in particular, that really caught my attention. The pastor talked about preparing to worship before you ever get to church. He suggested that we would be wise to purposely choose […]
