About T.W. Allgaier

I love Jesus. If I say nothing else, that is enough. But for those curiosity seekers, I am a 61 year old former special education teacher, current part time CCM Radio Announcer and author... who is married to her high school sweetheart. We have been together for 44 years, married almost 41 of those years! We have raised two sons, who are now married, have jobs and mortgages. AND...we became grandparents to a beautiful baby girl in 2018!! We also have our furry son, a West Highland Terrier. My heart's desire is to encourage people in their daily life. I believe that the Father speaks to us all the time, sometimes I have been too busy to listen. Even during times of trials and troubles, which seem endless right now in 2021, HE is present and loves us unconditionally. Thanks for reading. ~Be Encouraged Today~ View all posts by T.W.

Fashionable at 55!

Last year at this time I was working part time at a clothing boutique. And it had been established that I like clothes. I still like them. I still like fashion. However, I do not want to try and dress like a 35 year old.

Dressing like that 35 year old isn’t a problem. My “bad hip” has required me to wear “sensible” shoes and although I still like “skinny jeans”…..there are limits. And now that I work at the radio station, being “fashionable” isn’t a real concern. Continue reading Fashionable at 55! →

I have been known to have a “stubborn streak”. At least I have been told that over the years. But I think with age I have become a little less so….I guess I should ask the hubby .

And if I am painfully honest with myself, I am a “fixer”. I am a “mother” and “teacher” who wants to do those things with most people I know…fix the problems, mother the person and teach them too! Continue reading Eyes to See and Ears to Hear →

There is nothing worse than not being able to find something that you know you have. You know what I am talking about….don’t you?

I have spent two days looking for a hole puncher that I knew I had in my possession. Please bear in mind that I consider myself a very organized person. I label things. I have a craft room in which each canvas bin has a label. However, the very reason I was looking for the “hole puncher” was to “re-label” the canvas containers because the labels kept falling off.

So today I finally decided to buy a hole punch. I went to two stores and could not find one. The third store was a charm. The entire time I was looking for this hole puncher, I KNEW that I would find mine as soon as I got home and started “relabeling” each canvas bin. Continue reading Hole Punchers and Grace →
