Tuesday, 21st December 2021–Two Christmas memories…one is a gift.

                I had a specific photo I wanted to scan to share.  I came into my office, opened a drawer filled with photo albums.  The particular one I wanted was not there.  While searching through other picture books, with family photos, I found myself teary.  Photos of my parents when they were young touched my …

16 December 2021–One more thing off of the list.

The reason the button in my brain, entitled “beat myself up,” does not have an off position is unknown to me.  I wish it did.                  Last week I was determined to make Amazon and my family happy by doing Christmas shopping.  With step-three daughters (and spouses) and their families living in different English communities …

The Season of Celebration is upon us. Mine started last week; 19th November was my 63rd birthday. I started the day with a slice of applesauce cake for breakfast!

18 November 2021 — Obedience #2

                I think I am going to be writing about the topic of Obedience for a while; because I want to instill into my own heart the significance of the results of my own disobedience or obedience.  I need to challenge myself with the daily struggle of hearing our Father’s voice and doing what He …

                Being transparent and vulnerable with you in this blog are two objectives for me.  I want to share intimate moments that will stir your heart and mind.                 Back in the early 1980’s I read a book entitled, “Is That Really You, God?” by Loren Cunningham and Janice Rogers.  The book was written for …

28 October 2021-Learning to Pray

                My mother taught me and my siblings to pray.  The earliest prayer she taught us was for mealtime—the famous… “God is good.  God is great.  Let us thank Him for our food.  By His hands, we must be fed.  Thank you, Lord, for our daily bread.” The family altar and nightly prayer were a …

Friday, 22nd October 2021–Sew Heritage

            From my home office window, I can see white, voluminous clouds sail by.  The wind is nearly gale-force, with a deep chill.  Meanwhile, the now-golden leaves flutter and shimmer in the afternoon sun.  Inside, I’m listening to music via the internet.              I was thinking about heritage the other day.  I guess because I …
