‘The Surgical Field’

July 16, 2020 by Cathy Winkle

My vast medical knowledge (sarcasm alert) was expanded a bit today. I had been scheduled for outpatient surgery weeks ago, a simple procedure to remove a sizable growth from my left great toe. But then came the Covid crisis, and all elective surgeries were put on temporary hold, mine included. Rather than wait out another …

Day Three Hundred Thirty-Three “Shoes”

June 4, 2020 by Cathy Winkle

One thing is for certain, she didn’t get it from me, but she absolutely was infected…badly!  Every Sunday morning, when our young toddler was dropped off at the door of our church nursery, the ladies were well aware of what was in store for them.  Even at that young age, my daughter was a bit …

Day Three Hundred Fourteen “Scars”

May 25, 2020 by Cathy Winkle

            One moment of distraction and it happened.  I was busy working my evening job behind the deli counter of a small family-owned store close to my home.  I was exhausted, working as many hours as I could squeeze into a week, trying to eke out enough money to pay for my college tuition and …

Day Two Hundred Sixty-Nine “Not Unto Us”

May 4, 2020 by Cathy Winkle

            I recall the field trip as clearly as if it happened yesterday.  Baldinger’s Food from All the Nations, a small store nestled near the town of Zelienople, Pennsylvania, was established in 1933 and was brimming with all you needed to satiate your sweet tooth.  Our students, armed with envelopes of spending money, could hardly …

Day One Hundred Eighty-Four “Your Song”

February 17, 2020 by Cathy Winkle

            There are many ways of making music.  What matters is the song in your heart.  I was touched as I read this quote in passing today.  Supposedly they were spoken to a young lad many centuries ago, a boy who had a deep desire in his heart to make music, to sing or to …

Day One Hundred Forty-Two “All the Day Long”

January 5, 2020 by Cathy Winkle

Sundays are always special days at our local church, but we experienced a stand-out day this fall.  Weeks of planning and preparation were invested, along with fervent prayer that God would bless our efforts and receive the glory.  Invitations were sent with the hope that new families would take the opportunity to visit, partake in …
