Reflections on frustration

Mineral Wells Index

By Sue Seibert | sue_seibert@att.net

I have a problem. I am a consummate worrier. This is no surprise to my friends and family. I come by it honestly.

My mother was the all-time most talented worrier of the 20th Century. When I was a small child in Stephenville, our Methodist minister, John Wesley Ford, brought a newspaper clipping to our home to give to Mother. It was titled, “10 Ways to Worry Scientifically.” I don’t remember what the 10 ways were, but I’ll bet I can top them to 20 or 30! At the very least.

    Last weekend, along with our friends, Jim and Louise, we went down to Coffee Creek RV Park to attend the “Sisters on the Fly” camp out, with their displays of various campers that were hand painted and decorated. If you’re interested in photos, go to my blog at http://siouxsue.blogspot.com.

  • Reflections on Keeping a Diary

    Many of you knew my mother, Rose Ficke Sparks. In fact quite a few of you were taught by her, either at the old junior high that used to be the first high school or at Houston Elementary School.

  • Reflections on Patience

    I had a person whom I don’t know well at all tell me what an impatient person I am. My goodness, I didn’t realize it showed so much to those who do not know me very well; but, of course, she is right. I am. They say patience is a virtue. It is, but, sadly, it isn’t one of mine.

  • Reflections on My Bible

    Recently a friend of mine and her husband drove to New Hampshire to purchase a summer home. Sunday came and, as they had seen an Anglican church close by, they decided to attend. Instead, they ended up going to a Bible church down the street. As they drove up to the church, she turned to her husband and said, “I surely hope they believe in the same Bible we do!”

  • Reflections on Our Community

    There have been several things that have come to mind over the last little bit that I have failed to mention, so I thought I would sort of organize them all into one column.
