Beulah Land and Betty Lou

October 23, 2021 / Molly Mitchell / 15 Comments

My blessed mother-in-law started talking about her funeral somewhere in the neighborhood of 30 years ago so we "kids" became accustomed to nodding and smiling and "mmhmming" when that inevitable topic came up.

My friend Roy died of cancer when I was 14. He was 16. There was a funeral at the United Methodist Church and all of us teens who were in the youth group with him sat together and cried in varying degrees, dealing with wretched emotions as our young years both allowed and forced us … Continue reading The Death of Roy

Disoriented

March 21, 2020September 21, 2020 / Molly Mitchell / 18 Comments

The last couple of weeks remind me of the day I got into someone else's car and tried to start it. The ignition was in the wrong place. The seat wasn't adjusted to the way I always had it set.

Meet the Author

Molly Mitchell claims her greatest accomplishment is that she can call herself the mother of four. That’s always and forever number one on the list and still chokes her up after all these years. She’s happily married to Bob, whom she chose when he sang a glorious honey-toned bass part behind her in choir at college. (He found out later he’d been chosen but true to form was a good sport about it.) There are perfect grandchildren, of course.

She’s had a variety of jobs over the years, some involving professional writing and editing. Other jobs not so much, and those may become blog fodder. She hopes you’ll find joy or at least a bit of entertainment in these pages, and above all, a healthy dose of Christian encouragement.
