Good evening! I thought it was about time to catch up with anyone interested in catching up, so here it is, Long time, No see!

the falling leaves

Imagine for a moment standing in the golden sun, the time frame is in the ’70’s… I see a girl, her blonde hair is softly blowing away from her face and on her head is a wreath of little flowers. She is wearing a soft cotton blouse, jeans and on her feet are, what we called, Clogs. Her smile is radiant, and her laugh is great… do you remember her? Three girls come to my mind as this picture comes…

Happy New Year!

2025, really???

2025, really???

I’m sure you have had the same thoughts today; how did we get here so fast? I stated in another post that I had decided to make last year drag slowly by taking one day at a time and thoroughly enjoying it, without rushing on to, what’s next? But here I am facing another new year. Today I am missing my mother very much. Every year from the first of December, she would start to relive the year…

Advice to the young from one who is not!

This morning when I cleaned the grounds from the coffee pot while they were still hot and easy to spill out, I thought that “future Harolene” will be very happy that I did this now instead of waiting until in the morning when I am sleepy and want my pot of coffee in the biggest hurry! Is time really moving faster or is it because I am older that it just seems that way? There is a statement…

trying to figure this out!

December 26, 2024… how in the world did I get here? This time last year I decided to take one day at a time, very slowly… starting with January 2, normally a big let-down day, end of the holiday season, time to get on with the mundane chores of the ordinary day. And I thought I was doing just that … But suddenly I looked up and my house was fully decorated for Christmas! What happened to all…

...one second before...

Something happened to me this week…every time I pass the place where it happened I remember it and think that if I had known one second before it happened…could I have prevented it? This morning at 6:18 I passed the place and again the thought… So then I remembered a site I happened upon and the title was, you guessed it, One Second Before. It was a collection of pictures the photographers had…

Time to say goodbye...

There was a little boy who dreamed of becoming “El Presidente” as he lay on the sidewalk, in Asuncion, Paraguay, waiting for the “mercado” to open so he could get meat for the family table. This boy grew to manhood and was offered a Fulbright Program Scholarship because of his scholastic excellence. He came to the United States and enrolled in the engineering program at the Georgia Tech…

I'm here to bring you Truth, not orders to follow

Photo by Tima Miroshnichenko on Pexels.com I believe that God created the heavens and the earth, that He formed man in His own image, that He took from that man a rib and created a woman to be his helpmeet, lover, wife, mother of the man’s children.  I believe that God chose Abraham to be His friend and promised his descendants that would be more numerous than the stars. God made a covenant…

Ten years in Heaven

Today is the tenth anniversary of my dad taking his leave from this earth. He fought a good fight, he kept the faith and he finished his race… I feel his spirit close to me often and with my sister posting his messages every Wednesday and having him singing on my playlist keeps him very much in our mind. I will never be afraid to die after seeing him and my mother both take their final breath on…

Is it a pain reliever or a beauty cream?

Photo by Angela Roma on Pexels.com There is an old hymn that I remember my dad singing, not only in church, but as he prayed. I could hear him weep for the people in his congregation and sing it, I didn’t understand as a little girl, but having looked it up in the scriptures, I see that Jeremiah penned the words in 8:22 Are there no healing ointments (balm) in Gilead? Isn’t there a doctor in the…

What's Peter Cottontail got to do with it?

Photo by Jessica Lewis Creative on Pexels.com “Passion Week” started last Sunday, that’s when we remember Jesus riding into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday, the most precious time on the Christian calendar. Christmas is wonderful, and we enjoy celebrating His birth, but the birth would not be celebrated if He had not chosen to suffer the humiliation and the pain he suffered on the cross so that the…
