I think I can speak for at least for the nurses I work with that there are parts of our job that annoy us! Like for instance, operating the controls on the glucometer. A glucometer is a little machine that is used to get a patient’s blood sugar. There is a hardstop every 24 hours that the operator cannot go…

Mountains to Molehills
Are you familiar with moles? As in the critter? Do you have any experience with the molehills and tunnel damage they wreak upon your yard? Unfortunately, I do. Moles can be minor menaces. Do you have any experience with turning molehills into mountains? Unfortunately, I’ve experienced that as well! It seems I’m good at it. Taking something small and minor…
Rest Assured!
At the beginning of the Spring, I ordered three shirts. Now, this may not impress many people, but I was very excited! I don’t order many things. The boxes that come are usually for Tom and now the boys, but never for me! So yay! I ordered shirts. Week after week after week passed, and no box of shirts arrived.…
In That Number!
I am not a numbers girl. I like letters and words. I willhappily play Scrabble or Boggle any day. Sudoku? No thanks! Give me the two Rs of reading and ‘riting. You can have the ‘rithmetic! Sometimes words kinda jump out at me and make me give them a good ponder. Recently, I found this video we have enclosed below…
In His Hands
As I read in my new “The Chosen” devotional book, a paragraph jumped out at me and I’ve been thinking about it. What, of worth, have you held in your hands? Whether literally or figuratively, what have you held of importance? Literally, I’ve held my newborn babies. I’ve held hands. My love’s. My boys’. Patient’s. I’ve held my Dad’s warm…
FOUND!
A few weeks ago, a friend and coworker got lost hiking a waterfall. She stepped, by total accident, into a thigh-deep hole. Taking over an hour to free her leg, she was losing day light. She then lost her trail. For two nights, she was lost in the woods. On Tuesday, we came to work quiet and solemn. We were…
The Ladder!
I like analogies in the Bible and all they can make you think about. Like Jesus is the bread of life. The living water. Light. The true vine. The good shepherd. The ship. The rock. But one analogy had escaped me ’til recently and I’ve been thinking on it. A ladder. Jesus is the ladder. I don’t have many experiences…
The Tale of Two Lawnmowers
Often the things I write about are things I question — things I struggle with. Here is one such example. The Tale of Two Lawnmowers. A true story. Once there were two neighbors who, getting ready for the first grass cutting of Spring, got their lawnmowers out. They both cranked hard on the string, but nothing. They cranked and fiddled…
Of Bears & Graves . . .
There was once a time I really wanted to see a bear in the wild. Like a big bear. I thought I’d be brave. Cool. Calm. Collected. I mean, I’m married to Tom and I have three boys! A bear would be an adventure! Boy, was I wrong! On our family trip to Glacier National Park a few summers ago,…
Sometimes the Cake Don’t Work!
Why are people still having babies? Do we not know by now they are expensive and full of work and worry? All right, I’m just kidding ya! I love babies. I mean, where would I be without mine? Richer? Less gray? Kidding again! One thing for sure, babies are a lot of work for nurses! And these last few weeks,…
