Good Medicine- Our Sadie Dog
When Sadie, our Golden Retriever, came to live with us it was because we had tried everything else. Despite our efforts and that of medical science our ten-year-old son, Daniel, hadn’t been able to gain any weight since he was three. In fact, he was so medically fragile that he couldn’t attend school. Daniel […]
The Every Day Plan
My birthday is this week. Sometimes it comes and goes and I don’t think much about it but this year I have been thinking. I’ve been thinking that I want to make sure that every day counts. So I’ve come up with a plan and I wanted to share it with you. Every Day […]
A Winding Path
I’ve been working on my resume again. And what a crazy resume it is! It is full of so many diverse experiences that I’m very sure it often gets tossed as soon as it comes in to a potential publisher or employer. There is no box or file that it fits comfortably in. I’ve wrestled […]
Why is there pain?
I hadn’t looked at this in a very long time but a friend found it quoted on a website so I thought I’d share it again here: “Although our own pain is not always caused by our personal sin, sin, in a larger sense is the reason pain and disease entered Eden. Sin entered the […]
The Christmas Pig- revisited
When our kids were little, each Christmas I would set up two nativity scenes, one was glass and for display, the other one was plastic. The kids and their friends weren’t allowed to touch the glass one but the plastic one was there just so they could play with it. During play times Mary and […]
Time to Write Again
Those of you who know me, know that I can’t stay away from writing for long. This time it has been longer than usual. It’s been a time of change….job change, major move, daughter’s wedding, just to mention a few. And all of this change has required some reworking of my heart. I don’t know […]
Accustomed to Beauty
A year and a half ago we moved into our lake house. I had grown up on a lake, but had been landlocked for 30 years and I missed the water so much that I felt like I was just going to shrival up if I didn’t get back to it. So, I started driving around looking for slivers of silver, and […]
Be Still
Even on my days off I find myself making a mental list of everything I want to get done…everything I should get done. I think on the top of that list should be the words: 1. Be still Not for a minute, or a second, but for long enough to get past just catching my […]
Writing in the Crannies
I know that creativity requires energy so I’m wondering; Do I need to store up energy to be more creative? When I blog does it drip creative energy out of me like a leaky faucet? Do I need to hold back on my blog and my painting for a bit until the pressure becomes so pent up that it […]
Flying High
Sometimes the giants among us look small because they are flying so high.
100 percent, 100 percent of the time
When I read this blog I thought it was so wise that I had to share it. I will only add one thing. I believe that this is a sustainable way to live as long as you have enough recreation and relaxing time, and as long as you give 100 percent to that rest time too. Rest […]
Flashing Signs
I was driving home last Monday feeling pretty rotten. I had just been to the doctor, was given some antibiotics, and told to take it easy. I passed by a church with a lighted sign. In big, red, flashing letters it said, “REST!” When I drove by the same church sign yesterday it was scrolling the verse, “Come […]
Life on Wheels-Part 2
(read Feb.5 first) We had a couple other cars between. Some big yellow thing, I think it was a Buick Electra and then a Plymouth Valiant that we bought from a friend to use as a second car. The seat wouldn’t move up in the Valiant so I had to sit with a big pillow […]
Life on Wheels-Part 1
I was toodling down the road in my black Honda Element listening to the theme from the old Batman show when it came to me. Batmobile! That will be the name of my “new to me” car. More toodling and a few songs later I found myself thinking about about my other vehicles, their names and […]
