I found dozens of journals after mom died. So, so many of them only contain a handful of entries, but some of them cover entire years of her life.
These blog posts are entries from them.
April 26 psalm 78 — we’ve got a job to do Luke 12 Business Meeting Apartment Sister Sue — support Sue prophecy – stick together His ways are not ours we can’t follow N.Y. or A.A. – we must follow the father in his plan for R.I. Carol’s prophecy Luke 19 Zaccheus Passage 1 […]
April 25 I’m at the hairdresser’s for Billy’s shower and thought I’d write a bit and also copy a lot of notes from meetings lately. Praise you, father, for Jake and Joe and Gerry and Jim and Paul and Tony and Alpo and Steve and Mary and Dot and Janice and all. Praise you […]
April 2 Well, Lord, that was one hell of a week (or was it 10 days?). Thank you, praise you, it’s over! It feels so good just to be able to relax a little again, to be able to feel you a little again. Please keep it this way; don’t let me go through […]
March 26, 1970 I think this has been a beautiful week and now I’m going to write down all the things I feel you’ve taught me so I won’t forget. Before I do, I ask you again for your help. Please stay beside me, in my heart, and give me the strength I need […]
March 25, 1970 Thank you for letting me talk to Joe yesterday and for the sun today and for smashing my finger in the press and going to Dr. Miano. I love you and I love your children. My prayers especially for Joe, Jake, Jerry, Kathy, Evelyn and all.
March 24, 1970 Well, I lived through last night. I guess all I’m afraid of at this point is the fear or is that true? You know better than I would. In any case, the incubation period of spinal meningitis is probably not a whole week. Jerry and Joe are praying for me and […]
March 23, 1970 Thank you for yesterday. I’m scared again tonite, can you tell? Now! Please keep Satan far behind me and far away. Please. In the name of your son Jesus Christ. Please don’t let me suffer any more tonight for I am lonely and afraid. Satan knows about fear. Maybe I’ll call […]
March 21, 1970 Last night Bill and Marsha came over. We were all talking at Auntie Vi’s, and spinal meningitis was mentioned. A boy had died of it at P.C. last Friday. Having been with P.C. guys a couple of times, I panicked. Then I called Jerry at P.C. about going to Dover tomorrow. […]
March 18, 1970 Thank you for teaching me a little more about faith and peave, Father. And for taking up my burden. I’m going to try again to lose weight, but you already know. I feel strange about asking for something like this when you’ve already given so much, but you know I can’t […]
March 16, 1970 I asked today if you would let me know whether or not you wanted me to work at the market. Nothing like a flat “no.” And, about the daydream, thanks. You know how easily I get carried away. I was worried a little about loving Joe and Father John so much. […]
