LIVES  LIVED  AFTER  DEATH

THE  REST  OF  THE  STORY

THE  BEGINNING  OF  CONFUSION

WHEN  SOMEONE'S  WORDS  OR  ACTIONS  IRRITATE  YOU ...

IN  LIFE,  WE  ALL  HAVE  CHOICES.

WHICH  ONE  WILL  YOU  FEED?

I  BECAME  HAPPIER  AND  MORE  OUTGOING

CHANGED  MY  PERSPECTIVE  ON  LIFE

THIS  STRANGE  WOMAN  BROKE  DOWN  IN  TEARS!

IT'S  NOT  HOW  MANY  FISH  WE  CATCH . . .

I  NOW  HAVE  A  FAMILY

MONEY  DOESN'T  MAKE  A  LIFE  IMPORTANT

SOME  GIFTS  HAVE  LIFE-LONG  BENEFITS

WHAT  KIND  OF  FAMILY  WOULD  GIVE  UP  THEIR  HOME  TO  A  HOMELESS  FAMILY?

I  HAVE  BEEN  CUSSED  OUT,  FLIPPED  OFF,  AND  TOLD  OFF!

CAUSING  A  STIR

FOR  FIVE  YEARS.  I  CHOSE  MONEY  OVER  HAPPINESS!

When I was a child, my parents would go by and pick up some neighbors and take them to church with us. This really embarrassed me because they were poor and didn’t “dress up”. At our church, everyone dressed up – coat and tie, the whole nine yards. You were even looked down upon if you weren’t dressed “right”.Read More

The year my sister was dying, I learned more about living that ever before.

As kids, we would fight and argue all the time, yet we were best friends. We would drive our mother to her wits end with our orneriness. The farm we grew up on was the perfect place for us to grow up. As we grew up, married, and had children, we grew apart a bit. There was even a smidgen of competition between us. She was terrible with money and seemed to always need more. This became an issue with some family members. Then she and her husband divorced, and the money struggles continued. Then that terrible day happened when she was diagnosed with terminal cancer at age 47. I was devastated and determined to find a cure for her. We tried both conventional and some not-so-conventional treatments. Nothing worked, and a year later we buried my sister. Read More

A while back when I was in Santa Fe, New Mexico, I visited The Plaza – a Place where many walks of life come together. I noticed something on the other side was really drawing a crowd. I worked through the crowd so I could see what was going on. There was this very average looking man playing a guitar, and of course, his cup was sitting out for donations. But this was not what was causing the crowd. Beside him was his dog. They looked like buddies. But the scene didn’t stop there. On top of the dog was a cat. Yes, a cat was lying on top of this dog, and the dog couldn’t care less! But there’s more. On top of the cat was a mouse! Yes, a mouse sat on top of the cat that was on top of the dog! This was something to behold. It was almost unbelievable! Read More
