The Middle School Halls (For a boy with autism)

Every day a boy named Stewart would anxiously watch the clock during every moment of his daily Physical Education class. Even though he loved doing all the activities his P.E. class offered, he secretly dreaded when the class bell would ring – the signal for the middle school kids to change classes. See this young teenager named Stewart had autism.…

??…Ok, what do they mean?

I heard a compelling story from a famous pastor as I drive lots with work so I decided I would share it with others because I had never heard it before- in my own words. Ray Combs was a famous comedian; however, he was known best for hosting the very popular game show Family Feud ( 1988-1994).  He really liked…

The Un-Crooked Lawyer…Lesson in Judging Others

I heard a beautiful story from Chuck Swindoll and I decided it was worth sharing in my own words. The story begins:  Every year at Thanksgiving, a large legal firm would bring all their attorneys into a large boardroom and hand out a turkey for each one of them as a gift during the season of giving.  Unfortunately, there was…

Coming soon…Marvel in your Autistic Eyes

I have to admit the best part of completing a very long project of writing a book is deciding on the cover design. It is like “a- kid -in -a -candy- store” kinda moment.  One that brings forth a sense of perseverance and determination to complete the gift that has been given to me. Once it is seen and I can pretend I am holding…

Did you get an invitation?

As the events unfold in our country today, are you full of anger, resentment, rage, confusion, sarcasm, hostility, prejudice, bitterness, irritated, envy, and well, too many more to name?   Well, if so, you must have received your invitation to join Satan as he celebrates the accomplishments he has set forth to achieve.  He is planning a big party and if…

Don’t worry about tomorrow…

Worry brings tomorrow’s clouds over today’s sunshine.  Why worry about tomorrow when we have not been guaranteed it?  I know it is easier said than done and it takes prayer and practice.  We are guaranteed today, so why not start it off great…in thanksgiving and prayer.  Quickly in your mind, maybe even using your ten fingers, name off 10 things…

And who you are when everyone is watching…

You know we have all heard the term, “Character is who you are when no one is watching.”  Well, I also believe and used it as a teachable moment for my daughter last night as I said watching the end of the NBA playoffs…yes, this Mom LOVES NBA basketball.  I said, “Now that is true manly character.”  She asked, “What…
