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 […]

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 […]
