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.

But look what happened. Continue reading Don’t Wish It Away →

I am afraid in our fast paced society, in homes where both the momma and dad have to work, and even places where parents would simply rather not take the time…it is not always being done.

But, we should always teach them how to do chores. Continue reading Chores…A Necessary Evil? →

I Like Clothes!

I am not going to lie.

I like clothes. I totally enjoy working part time in a clothing boutique. It is fun to “try on” new clothes and see how they look and feel.

It would be easy at this point to say that it doesn’t matter what I wear (and it really doesn’t) but I do like looking nice and “false humility” is not my game.

But what am I really clothed in that matters?
