My husband gave me much to ponder recently when he told me that I really should allow people to see me as more than just a sufferer.  He said that I am very funny and lighthearted much of the time but that I don’t typically reflect much of that side of myself in my writing/speaking.  […]

The past few weeks, since I’ve blogged, have been like most weeks down here–full of many sources of frustration tempered/made tolerable by the many sources of beauty all around (technically one “true” source of beauty but in many forms).  One day last week was especially full of frustration…..at least it was for me.  I felt […]

There’s a new song on the radio that I’ve pretty much fallen in love with recently.  It’s by Hillsong United and is called “Touch the Sky”–and it sure does put me, and my husband too, into worship mode quickly.  I’ve found myself listening to it again and again, especially as I struggle to stay focused […]

This summer I’ve begun to address the challenge I blogged about a while back–discipline.  Part of addressing this has involved, understandably, a gym.  My family actually joined a new one this year as our last one just didn’t seem to work well for me.  Well, this one didn’t seem to work for me either, until […]

Stories of good and evil seem to have dominated the time my daughter and I have spent together since the school year ended recently.  Cinderella is her favorite princess right now; and The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe was the movie she requested for last Saturday’s movie night in our “home theater” (which consists […]

Though I have wanted desperately to write, I’ve been unable to for a while.  I’ve been rather childish lately.  Because I found myself wondering if God withdrew from me, I pulled back from him.  I wonder if anyone else does this.  I know we, at least I, do this with my spouse and with my […]

A lot’s happened since I last wrote.  I had another born again (again) birthday on April 28th.  I had another blood check around that same time (and all is indeed well).  I finished the study I’ve been doing this year with Community Bible (CBS’s Servants of God study).  I spoke at an event in Youngsville, […]

I must begin this post by saying it is dedicated to my dear friend with whom I’ve bonded over/through used books; you know who you are:).  You are so very appreciated–and you inspired me to write today (yesterday actually but, as usual, I’m running behind).  This friend and I have talked more than once about […]

There have unfortunately been many areas of this life in which I’ve had a tendency to feel envy toward others.  I’ve been pondering one of these areas quite a lot in recent months.  It’s “Jones” envy for sure but not regarding material possessions; my envy has to do with how very ordered the lives of […]

My little girl did it again today, the day I’ve begun to call “somber Saturday,” the day after we remember the crucifixion of our Christ.  We began discussing the Easter season this morning because my daughter seemed a little perplexed by the fact that days like Good Friday and Easter Sunday are not always the […]
