Specialty Of The House: Laughter

Posted on August 2, 2016 By Sister Rain

We have a busy week and so I have planned quick meals for dinner. I now share with you the conversation that took place this morning as I ate my breakfast and my husband prepared to leave for work: Me: Stouffer’s lasagna okay for dinner tonight? Him: Sure. Me: (jokingly) Great. One…

Strangers In The Night

Posted on July 24, 2016June 2, 2017 By Sister Rain

Every few months I have a dream that someone is standing over me while I am in bed. It is so scary and the nightmare jolts me into instant awakedness. It takes a long time for the pounding of my heart to calm down and for the rest of me…

All Charged Up

Posted on July 21, 2016July 22, 2016 By Sister Rain

Wouldn’t it be great if we all had a low battery indicator alerting others when our energy was depleted and all systems were soon to shut down? Disagreements and health issues could be averted if we were presented with data that we were in need of a recharge. Some people…
