Malla Moe, Tante Ruth, and Saturday Chores. Saturday morning after cereal out of a box while watching Popeye, Dudley Do-Right, Yogi, Rocky and Bullwinkle, and Bugs Bunny, I’d go to the kitchen. Under the sink were the dust clothes to be used for my weekly chore of dusting. I was part of the family and my contribution was necessary. 8221; ...

Joyce Lighari, founder of The Age of Hope Ministries is blogging. Share snapshots of my life as I share the stories that made me who I am. Monday, November 28, 2011. As we drove up the muddy driveway, guided by the neon OPEN sign, we knew this was going to be an experience. The day had already been more like the script of a movie with the familiar theme of city folk go to the country. The country folk always seem to be the better in these movies. This time, we were the city folk I suppose. Or New in Town.

One Hundred and Fourteen Days (Part VIII). An Ending and A Beginning. Today is the anniversary of the funeral. Funerals are supposed to bring closure. I am not sure that we had closure or that we ever will. However, while funerals are a looking back, they are also a looking forward. I wish I had the program from the funeral. I went to...

I met another Edna type person today at a Panera's in Hoboken. Hoboken reminds me of Brooklyn. I guess any place with sidewalks and stores reminds me of my home. I love being able to walk places and see people. Like Brooklyn, Hoboken is becoming one of the best places to live in the area. She finally decided to...

I think it is the Viking in me. . I love to meet people. I got to know the wife of one of my husband's colleagues. We talked and shopped til we dropped in San Francisco. It was a wonderful day. I hope I see her again. I think we'd be good friends. A teacher, a Jew, said she was living the Bible. God had called...

I officially became a member of a local church this morning. It was a decision a long time in coming. Perhaps all my life has prepared me for this - it wasn't that big of a deal . really. and yet for me it seems significant. It seems like one of those moments that I'll look back on and say - hmmm, that was milestone event. Links to this post.

My research project has become my baby. I am not sure that the baby has been delivered or if it is in the need of a skilled obstetrician with forceps. Nevertheless, it is my baby. As a mother, I know that your baby is your baby from the moment it is conceived. It’s that way with my research project. Foolishly...

Yesterday, someone asked me - so, now that you've finished your PhD what are you doing? What a wonderful day when your food stamps came. I never had an EBT card - I would receive large envelopes with monopoly type money - food stamps in the mail. Or sometimes we'd go to a bank and the bank would give us our rations. In Columbia MO for new fr...

I am continuing to learn what it means to be a Methodist. I have become at home with the Methodist. It is the group that I have chosen to fellowship in community with – it is where my spiritual journey has taken me. At the end, we sang a song. Methodists sing a lot of songs I don’t know. This one I knew…. Here I am Lord.

I am sure some of you are wondering how I am surviving after jumping off the high dive of the pool. In some ways, it is better than last year, in other ways, not so much. There are a lot I could say about dynamics. There is a lot I could say about a “team” concept that doesn’t really exist. There is a lot I could say about frustration. I’m...
