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~

Simple Responsibility

You started it, you finish it.

Our rule was simple.

You start something, you finish it.

You get out the legos, you put them up when you are finished.  Cereal and milk?  Better not be left on the cabinet.

 One wanted guitar lessons, then after three lessons wanted to be done.  Nope, you started it…you finish it.  “I don’t want to play baseball anymore” in the middle of the season no less.  You started it, you finish it. Continue reading Simple Responsibility →

Depend on God, not the Institution

I am going to make some pretty bold statements here.  I have had this conversation with a number of people lately, and I share it here.
Don’t look to the institution of the church, your “Sunday go to meeting” place to give you what you need to make it through the week.
You won’t get
what you need to sustain you
in your day to day life. Continue reading Won’t Get it in a Church →

Simple Blink

Don’t do it.

                Blink….

                             Seriously.

There was a time in my life when I thought I couldn’t blink enough times nor quick enough!!

I was knee deep in cheerios, literally.  This “type A” personality gal tried so hard to organize the toys in color coded, labeled bends.  That way they could be read by the boys as they “picked up” after themselves …….which I eventually considered to be a lesson well taught if one or two items a piece ended up in the proper location.

Sleeping    became   a     luxury…..a      dream….

Redefined as any amount of time that equaled 4 hours or more..straight.  Funny, now I often go to bed and wake up 4 hours later, read and think nothing of not getting a full night’s sleep.  I can always rest during the day. Continue reading Simple Blink →
