Some thoughts for this Monday Morning.

I was working in my garden the other day while enjoying an audio book through a pair of earbuds. Much to my chagrin, my neighbor had been speaking to me while I was completely absorbed in my weeding and listening. Luckily I caught her waving her hands and shouting, "Do you hear me?" After I quick...

Monday morning thoughts to start the week.

There are Top 10 lists for everything: the Top 10 restaurants in the city (just name the city), the Top 10 songs of the week, the Top 10 recipes for zucchini, the Top 10 vacation spots in the country, even the Top 10 movies on Netflix right now. We want to know and experience the biggest and the...

Some thoughts this Monday morning!

Here in Pittsburgh, a section of the interstate is currently closed while an aged bridge is replaced.  The old bridge is nearly demolished, and a new one has been constructed that will be slid into place - quite the engineering project. But in the meantime, detours are in effect. Drivers in ...

Some thoughts for this Monday of Holy Week.

The weather has certainly been full of quick changes lately. One day it is 70 degrees and sunny, and the next is cloudy and the thermometer barely reaches 40. Thunderstorms have blown in quickly and fiercely. And some neighborhoods in the Pittsburgh area saw flash flooding this week, so named beca...

Thoughts on this rainy monday.

It is difficult to traverse the city of Pittsburgh without entering a tunnel. The Liberty, Fort Pitt, and Squirrel Hill tunnels are all officially named and well-known. Many drivers slow down as they approach them, often to the frustration of others around them, either intimidated by the perceive...

Some thoughts on this cold monday morning.

The 25th Winter Olympics are over, and I am still in awe. The athletes fascinate me, and I cannot help but admire their physical and mental feats. Their speed and endurance, their fearlessness, the height of their maneuvers, their dedication, the complexity of their spins and flips and turns. To ...

Some thoughts on this sunny monday morning!

A coworker once shared some cornbread with me at lunch that his grandmother had made, and I thought it was delicious. I asked him if he might be able to get her recipe for me. A few days later at lunch, my coworker smiled and handed me a slip of paper that read: "Add a can of creamed corn to a box ...

Below is a video that Pastor Barry created for us to worship at home.

Since we can not be together in person, Pastor Barry has given us a message.

Something to think about on this chilly monday.

Before our children were born, my husband and I had a number of discussions about names. Names for boys and names for girls. Names that had family significance, names that reminded us of special friends, and even names to avoid. First names that seemed appropriate with our surname. Names have conn...
