My Little Friends
You know how little kids like having their favorite stuffed animal or doll around to comfort them? My inner child is alive and well inside me because I have my little comforting friends on my writing desk, up front where I can see them. I’ve shown them in the photo. On the left is a […]
Making Time for Friendships
This past week had a few more interesting things in it than the usual routine. While I love dull weeks, meaning nothing major or stressful occurred, most of the time, it’s nice to have a little variety on occasion. You see, I’m an introvert that likes to be stay inside my house. When I get […]
Remembering Those We Knew
I attended the Black Hills Historical Conference this past week and learned many new things. The one talk that impacted me the most was from a elderly Lakota woman who I had as a professor in college. She had a big impact on me at that time and even through today. Seeing her again made […]

A Time to Rest
Ecclesiastes 3:1 says To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven: and it goes on to list times to do this and times to do otherwise. The list Solomon gives doesn’t include a time it say a time to go 90 mph in life and a time to rest, but […]
