That’s the Way It Is (Just Checking in, 2)

Memories flood my mind as I reminisce how my journey has been a lifetime of happenings that speak to my soul with lessons that can be applied to our daily lives. These memories are conjured up at odd and, sometimes, inconvenient times. As I sat in church last Sunday and the pastor began his message, my mind captured a thought of bygone days that spoke loud and clear to my mind, and I scrambled in my bag for a pen and paper to put my thoughts down. Brother Tim must have thought he had really said something profound, and he did, but I did not write that down. It is my hope that all who read my memories and the lessons that I glean from them will take them to heart and identify with them and feel happiness, insight, and perhaps laughter as they share my memories and truths.

I am Molly Stringer. I live in the small Texas town of Floydada. I am married to my first love, and we have been together for fifty-eight years. I spent twenty-five years working as a registered nurse. Bill and I have three children: Christy Newberry is, with her husband, Paul, is a musician and music evangelist. Melody is a registered nurse and married to Jim Roberts, who is a physician. They are the parents of our only grandchild, Morgan, who is seventeen. Our son, Steve, lives near us and has some limitations due to some brain damage caused by seizures at an early age. We are a Christian family involved in teaching and serving through our local church.
