Opting Out

January 9, 2021 lovemonteelou7 Comments

The other day I walked downstairs to our den and my husband was watching a Bowl Game. I asked him about it and just like the Bowl Game the day before, he told me several players had opted out. Opted out? When did that become a thing? Well, now that I think about it, opting… Continue reading Opting Out

New Life

September 21, 2020September 21, 2020 lovemonteelou4 Comments

My favorite grocery bagger was bagging my groceries the other day. I asked him, “Andy, how are you today?” I sensed that something wasn’t right. When Andy’s having a bad day he makes these little noises in his throat. Andy stuttered, “I just wish I could go to a cabin somewheres with my dogs, you… Continue reading New Life

What Brings Us Joy

September 8, 2020September 8, 2020 lovemonteelou1 Comment

The Sunday School teacher asked the class, “What brings you joy?” A few members answered and I replied, “My morning walks and visiting with neighbors along the way.” What I should have answered was this, “I find joy whenever I have the chance to use the gift that God gave me.” Each and every one… Continue reading What Brings Us Joy

The Narrow Way

August 18, 2020August 18, 2020 lovemonteelou2 Comments

I stand in a certain spot on top of the ridge. As I stand catching my breath, I peer through a narrow opening between two houses that sit there. Here is my reward for walking up the steepest street in our neighborhood. Through that narrow opening I can see for miles. I see hills and… Continue reading The Narrow Way

An Alien in a Garden of Beasts

June 27, 2020June 27, 2020 lovemonteelou4 Comments

I still remember the Summer day that I met Hannah. My husband and I were renting an apartment during baseball season and one morning I was sitting beside the complex pool when Hannah walked through the gate. She was very tall, with a swimmer’s body. She was eighty years old. She swam her laps, got… Continue reading An Alien in a Garden of Beasts

In His Shoes

When I was a little girl, Mama, my little sister and I lived in a small two bedroom apartment. My sister and I had twin beds, my bed sat next to the window. As my sister slept, I would ease over to the window and look up into the night sky. I would pray and… Continue reading In His Shoes

Uncertain Times

May 9, 2020May 9, 2020 lovemonteelou4 Comments

I’m driving down a country road surrounded by fields of wildflowers and tall trees. The evening sky is just beautiful. I stop to look at my surroundings and take them all in for just a moment. Ahead of me is a curve in the road. I have no idea what is around the bend. Will… Continue reading Uncertain Times

Hope Amongst the Thorns

April 10, 2020April 11, 2020 lovemonteelou6 Comments

After a rainy and gloomy weekend, the morning sun was shining brightly. My husband and I were sitting on his parents’ covered back porch enjoying some of the suns’s rays that were reaching underneath the porch’s tin roof. I didn’t want to move, the sun felt so good. We were watching birds at the bird… Continue reading Hope Amongst the Thorns

Strugglin’

April 6, 2020April 6, 2020 lovemonteelou7 Comments

This past weekend I wrote about God giving us opportunities during this time of crisis in our country, and I believe right now He has done that for my husband and me, sending us to be here for my in-laws. But by the time the weekend ended, and on the evening of the Lord’s Day,… Continue reading Strugglin’

The Last Picture Show

April 5, 2020April 5, 2020 lovemonteelou2 Comments

The other morning I woke up and for the first time since all the craziness of the world got even crazier, I thought, “When is this sci-fi movie we are all characters in, going to end?” For the first time things were really hitting me and I was feeling kind of lost. I didn’t like… Continue reading The Last Picture Show
