20250126 – God’s Time, Not Mine

Tuesdays With Terry Posted on January 26, 2025 by Pondering PopsJanuary 26, 2025

Having recently passed the three quarter century mark has given me pause to reflect on the last 75 years God has gracefully granted me on this earth, and particularly on a few events which could have ended this passage much earlier. It makes me wonder exactly what is pure accident, and what may have been a God-incidence, God’s timing, or God’s plan. After all, as a follower of Jesus, I believe God created us and endowed us with free will. Consequently, we are free to make decisions and mistakes which affect God’s plans for our lives and may even result in injury or death.

20250105 – I’m Still Here

Tuesdays With Terry Posted on January 5, 2025 by Pondering PopsJanuary 5, 2025

Yes, it’s been nearly a year since I posted, and I’m still here. My nightly prayer has been answered positively for nearly 365 days, just one more day with the love of my life. My resolution for 2024, to build a joy filled life, has been faithfully attempted every day. I have been able to start every day by counting … Continue reading →

20240112 – Getting on with Life

Tuesdays With Terry Posted on January 12, 2024 by Pondering PopsJanuary 12, 2024

Yup, you guessed it, it’s 4:00 o’clock in the morning of another medically induced insomniac experience, and I’m pondering once again; this time the last year of what has seemed like Life: Unscripted, life on hold, life stalled, life constrained by physical limits, life lived fearfully rather than joyfully. And finally, it’s time to get on with life joyfully, more … Continue reading →

20240101 – Contemplating Joy

Tuesdays With Terry Posted on January 1, 2024 by Pondering PopsJanuary 1, 2024

It’s a new day of a new month of a new year and I find myself contemplating a piece of wisdom a very dear friend offered in response to one of my recent musings, find joy in the simple things. Her approach really helps when you’re struggling mightily to hold on to hope in the midst of deep and serious … Continue reading →

20231229 – Finding My Purpose, the Main Thing

Tuesdays With Terry Posted on December 29, 2023 by Pondering PopsJanuary 12, 2024

Continuing some thoughts from yesterday’s musings about life: unscripted, it seems important to elaborate on how I fill the unscripted part of my day(s) in ways that might not be so unscripted after all. I think it’s really important for all of us, and particularly those of us who are faced with situations that may dramatically affect the predictability of … Continue reading →

20231228 – Life: Unscripted

Tuesdays With Terry Posted on December 29, 2023 by Pondering PopsDecember 29, 2023

I awakened this morning thinking about how different my life is now compared to just one year ago. I’m by nature a planner. In business I always approached things with the philosophy ‘plan your work, work your plan’. They taught us in business school fifty years ago the key management functions of planning, organizing, staffing, directing and controlling (the command … Continue reading →

20231222 – Family Lessons from The Hallmark Channel

Tuesdays With Terry Posted on December 22, 2023 by Pondering PopsDecember 29, 2023

Here we are again, deep in the throes of another steroid-induced insomnia night, but this time it’s a good thing. Why? I’m surrounded by my sleeping family, all of them (well, the immediate family as we think of ourselves)! My wife is in the next room; my son and daughter in law are at home next door, and my daughter, … Continue reading →

20231126 – Hi Elsie!

Tuesdays With Terry Posted on November 26, 2023 by Pondering PopsJanuary 12, 2024

I was washing the breakfast dishes this morning and all of a sudden, there she was, my three and a half year old granddaughter Elsie Rose, just watching and expecting a conversation. So I told her about how excited I was for Christmas, when her cousins would be here having fun and opening presents. I told her a little about … Continue reading →
