if you can’t be the poem…

June 23, 2009 | T. Suzanne Eller

ryanjackIf you can’t be the poem, be the poet.

Today Richard’s uncle Jack passed away. I don’t know if anyone ever accused him of being a poet, but I believe his life was inspiring.

Jack became a part of the Eller family over 50 years ago. It all started when he spun in and out of Ab Eller’s driveway with his hotrod car to court a young girl named Dessie Eller. Her father might not have appreciated Jack’s shinanigans, but Dessie certainly did. They married. She was only 16, but it was a commitment to love for a life time.

Jack was bigger than life. A preacher. A pastor. A father who shamelessly loved his daughters. A man who still winked at Dessie and teased her, even if she was fussing at him (deservedly so, I am sure). A grandpa who loved his grandchildren and great-grandchildren like crazy.

He was a handsome man. In the older days they would have called him dapper. But he was far too young for that title. Handsome works just fine.

He was a little bossy and opinionated at times, but gentle and fun at the same time. How does that work? I don’t know, but it worked well for him. At the Eller get-togethers you would find him in the kitchen, hands immersed in soapy suds, telling us the best way to do it. (more…)

My hope

May 15, 2009 | T. Suzanne Eller

When I stand before God at the end of my life, I would hope that I would not have a single bit of talent left, and could say, “I used everything you gave me”. Erma Bombeck

my one-armed life

March 1, 2009 | T. Suzanne Eller

collarboneFriday night I fell. Hard. And when I stood, my collarbone jutted out of my chest.

I’m normally tough but I freely admit this was painful.

For now my 90-wd a minute typing is at a whopping 5, so posts will be brief all week. But I’ll be here!

I treasure your prayers for seamless and quick healing. I appreciate you all so much…

Faith in Action: The Do-Something Generation

January 20, 2009 | Proverbs 31 Ministries, T. Suzanne Eller, faith, family

Suzie with teens cleaning up camp for disabled children after ice storm

Did you know that this generation (13 to 20) is quickly becoming one of the more selfless generations? Teens desire to change their world.

They are handing out blankets to the homeless. Picking up a hammer to build a home with Habitat for Humanity. They are volunteering, creating websites to generate funds, creating storehouses for clothing for children in they foster system, buying shoes for children in Haiti…

What? Are you sure? Suz, isn’t this the generation of teens sitting on the couch playing video games, munching chips, and holding out their hand for a little extra cash to go to the mall? What about the entitlement?

As I travel around the nation, I bristle (quietly) when I hear adults knocking teens. (more…)
