Two judgements
At Bible study this last Wednesday we ended up talking about two judgement the Bible describes. Two. I will be the first to admit that I don’t understand all this well and I offer this disclaimer right up front – this is the Lord’s business and I am not even close to understanding His ways. … Continue reading
Do it. Period
You may have noticed that I haven’t been blogging very regularly lately. I have a confession to make. I’m not lazy, and I certainly haven’t stopped having opinions. Nope. What happened is this: I began listening to the voices in our society and the really mean voice inside my head, and perhaps there was another … Continue reading
Cats and Deer
I love our mornings here on island, they start slowly. Since our house is tucked safely on the west side of a big hill, the actual sun doesn’t show itself to us until about 10 or so. The result is that mornings seem to linger and relax. Unfortunately, we don’t get to do the same. … Continue reading
We Need a Little Forgiveness
I’ve been thinking about forgiveness. I was raised in a Christian home and taught right from wrong with the Bible as the authority. I accepted Jesus as my Savior when I was quite young. Even so, there were patches of time throughout my life during which I walked a little (ok a lot) farther away … Continue reading
Leaving the Mainland
Did you miss me? I haven’t blogged in a couple of weeks, we’ve been too busy enjoying our last few days on the mainland before we head home to St. Croix. It’s always an interesting transition, we love being in Wyoming so it’s sad to be leaving while we are also ready to get home … Continue reading
Lyric lightness
I will readily admit that I misconstrue and misquote and garble the lyrics to songs on a regular basis. Actually, I do so without remorse or an inclination to change the error of my ways. Hillary and Sam used to tease me about it. Karl corrects me. It doesn’t matter, if I’m not sure of … Continue reading
Reality Mirrors Fiction – for reals!
Sometimes reality mirrors fiction. I’m thinking of Jules Verne who invented cool contraptions in his novels written in the late 1800s that are now real. Or, as in this week, my novel The Archer’s Perspective. Let me explain. The Archer’s Perspective begins when the main character, her name is Piper, is riding her four-wheeler in … Continue reading
35 years today!
The front of our wedding invitation started out “Today I marry my friend…” That was thirty-five years ago today. And yes, I did indeed marry my friend (though he’s much more than that!). In the ensuing years, we have refined that friendship (and the much more!) through many seasons of better and … Continue reading
Fighting My Phone Addiction
When I was growing up, anytime the phone on the wall rang, everyone would scramble to answer it. Being the youngest of three, I didn’t often get calls, but even so I ran to try to get it first. It didn’t matter if we were eating dinner, or watching TV or in the middle … Continue reading
