Teresa Poucher Who hasn’t sent a message when autocorrect changed the whole meaning of your subject matter?  That could be dangerous.  I’m very grateful for spell-checking technology.  My spelling is so bad at times, it isn’t even close enough to recognize what I’m trying to say.     While I’m grateful for autocorrect, I don’t care to be corrected in front of others.  It can beContinue reading “Spell Check”

Teresa Poucher   Many of us have an Amazon account.  If not, you may sometimes get a friend to order things for you.  Since you probably have an account, you most likely have a wish list.      ‘Sure does make it easy at Christmas or birthdays.  Perhaps you won’t tell someone what you want, but you can always add it to your list withoutContinue reading “Wish Lists”

Teresa Poucher Do you like to give gifts?  Don’t you love it when you know exactly what someone would like?  Some people know how to buy the perfect gifts but are uncomfortable accepting them. So how is it that we can give love yet have a hard time receiving it? Maybe one doesn’t feel worthy. WhetherContinue reading “Perfect Love”

Teresa Poucher The rock band, Nazareth, recorded a remake of a song by the Everly Brothers in 1974 entitled “Love Hurts.” If you don’t care for someone, their slurs or actions might anger you for a moment, but let a loved one do something morally wrong, and it hurts.     Several years ago, I was prayingContinue reading “Love Hurts”

Teresa Poucher   I know God is speaking, yet I have not heard Him lately.  Why is that I ask myself?  Perhaps I’m distracted, or maybe I have something in my life that isn’t pleasing to God.     As I heard chapter 21 of the book of Numbers read to me, I was pricked in my heart. Israel wasContinue reading “Bread in the Wilderness”

Teresa Poucher “…For we walk by faith, not by sight…” (II Corinthians 5:7)     I enjoy sleeping in a dark room — no night lights for me.  ‘Matter of fact, I put black tape on my standby lights.   I’m at that age where I take bathroom breaks at night. Still, no lights. I almost want to sleepwalk so I can fall right back to sleep.    InContinue reading “I Can’t See – It’s Dark”

Teresa Poucher Pressure canning is a wonderful way to preserve food. I recently made chicken salad with chicken I had canned seven years ago.  I realize that might seem scary to some, but it was yummy. Today you may feel like you have been in a pressure cooker, crammed into a jar that was much too tight. The lid was locked,Continue reading “Are you Feeling under Pressure?”

Teresa Poucher I’ve heard it said that by the time you feel thirsty, you are already beginning to dehydrate.  Depending on activity and location, one can die of dehydration.  So,what are the first signs? Thirst, less frequent urination, dark-colored urine, fatigue, dizziness, and confusion.     Are you tired, even after a good night’s sleep?  Has confusion left you walking in circles?  Have you tried something toContinue reading “What are you Drinking?”

Teresa Poucher Very few people do not have a smartphone. Most of us are connected to our phones. I had to get my phone’s battery replaced and wondered how long I would have to be without my phone. We can hardly imagine life without one. We like to think we are staying connected to peopleContinue reading “Staying Connected”

Teresa Poucher A long road trip with children can start with much excitement. After a few hours, it’s, “How much longer?” Soon to follow will be,“I have to go to the bathroom.” Then the real aggravation sets in: “He’s touching me,” or “He’s looking at me.” Oh, my word! Now there is a detour. IContinue reading “Road Trips”
