A look at how we spend our time will tell us if we A look at how we spend our time will tell us if we are living our priorities. What's more important, spending the evening catching the latest social media posts from our favorite celebrities or spending a little time visiting with our aging grandparent? Do we care more about the newest fashion trend or the hurting soul in the cubicle next to us? Do we spend way more time binging on documentaries than we do feasting on God's word? It’s not that some of these activities in and of themselves are wrong. (I myself certainly love a good documentary series.) It’s the amount of focus we place on them. Let’s not let life become a game of trivial pursuit. Let’s chase the important instead. . .

It’s been 20 days since exposure and 17 days sin It’s been 20 days since exposure and 17 days since the first symptoms appeared. The college boyfriend and I are busting out for the first time to run errands and get groceries. Such a romantic date. Shoot, we may even pick up a cup of coffee, even though I still can’t really taste anything. In all seriousness, I am PRAISING JESUS for an ordinary Tuesday afternoon bopping around town, taking care of routine chores. Life is a blessing. Even the mundane moments, which now somehow seem much more like the sacred ordinary. 💕 #thesacredordinary #kickingcovidtothecurb

Update: I can’t thank those of you enough who ha Update: I can’t thank those of you enough who have sent direct messages asking how I am doing and letting me know you are praying. I am so grateful for this community. For those of you who didn’t know, I began getting sick on New Year’s Day. An initial Covid test was negative but a few days later, a PCR test showed positive. Both of my sons ended up getting it, as well as my husband. I was very ill for the first four or five days but have been slowly feeling better since then. I was fortunate to be able to get a monoclonal antibodies infusion. My husband, however wound up in the hospital two days ago. He was released after about 10 hours and seems to be improving. We are so grateful that through all of this, our daughter-in-law, who is expecting our first grandchild in two weeks, was able to continually test negative. Even though it is no fun being sick, I love seeing people begin to do their thing. Far away family and friends had groceries delivered or sent flowers or gift cards. Nearby friends dropped off food and one even offered to mask up and come clean our house while we all huddled in a back room. For now, I’ll take the messy house and will continue to rest. The worst symptoms of high fever, headache, and muscle pain are gone. I just have a fuzzy brain, an annoying cough, and I am easily fatigued. Thank you again for caring. I am praying you all have a healthy and happy 2022. (At least I think it’s 2022, right? Everything kind of shut down for me on New Year’s Eve and I’ve been in a daze ever since. Or as one friend put it, I feel like it is the 674th day of March 2020!) 😉
Today marks another year that’s passed since you Today marks another year that’s passed since you changed your address to heaven. I was holding your hand when you took your last breath. I haven’t stopped missing you since. I miss your phone calls to tell me what the weather was going to be that day, even though I showed you the new fangled app I have on my phone that did it for me. It was always much better coming from you. I miss your crazy dad jokes that you couldn’t even get through without laughing and giving away the punchline. I miss your homemade meatballs and Michigan pasties with gravy. From your days as a cook in the Navy to owning a restaurant and catering service for decades, your food at Pat’s Pantry never failed to bring a smile to others. And I loved most of all your care and concern for your children and grandchildren. Always cheering them on at their sporting events. Always wanting to apologize for the way you treated our family during your drinking days. The last few decades of your life showed such a powerful story of redemption. When you left earth, you were on 36 years sober and you tracked down everyone you’d ever wronged to ask for their forgiveness. You told me I could tell your whole story one day as a warning to others to stop going to look for happiness, when it’s right there in their own backyard all along. Someday I will. Thank you, Papa Pat, for living out loud a picture of the gospel, showing those around you what love and forgiveness is all about.
