Praying For Ignorance
I’m writing to you as if you’ve read every one of my blogs when I say, “Remember when I said I’ve been blogging since the early 2000’s and I may bring a blog post back from the past?” Well, this is another one of them. I’ll be telling you about my teenage son’s trip to…

Faith Like Sourdough
Remember the bread making craze during the Covid pandemic? I didn’t join in then, but now I am trying my hand at making sourdough starter, and eventually bread, I hope! Creating sourdough bread is a process of patience, care, and trust. It starts with a simple mixture of flour and water, but over time, as…

Tending Our Gardens
“The Lord God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it.” Genesis 2:15 My father-in-law is a gardener, my husband learned to love gardening from him, and now our daughter loves to garden. All three of them possess patience, gentleness, and an acceptance of…

These Are A Few Of My Favorite Things
I’ve been trying to write a post for you all, dear readers, all week. My goal was to get a post written on Monday. Today is Thursday. I have 2 posts sitting in my drafts folder that I wrote this week and they both were darker than I wanted to be. I wanted to be…

It Was Near Christmas
In an earlier post, I said I would be bringing back some posts from the past, and this is one such piece. I wrote this one back when my kids were in elementary and middle school right after it happened. I think back on it often and it’s still just as funny and embarrassing as…

When God Got His Hands Dirty
This is an excerpt from my book of the same name. “Then the Lord God formed man of dust from the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being. The Lord God planted a garden toward the east in Eden; and there He placed the man who…

I See You
I have always felt that I had a connection with animals. As a kid, I remember seeing birds, squirrels, and stray cats and trying to catch their eye. When they looked at me, no matter how far away, I’d whisper, “I see you.” I love looking at trees full of leaves and seeing that one…

What I Don’t Know
From time to time I will include journal entries or old blog posts because I like them and I think you might like them, too. This is one from early 2020 at the beginning of CoVid. I was FaceTiming my daughter the other day and I managed to shut my mouth before I said something…

Relax In His Care
“He reached down from on high and took hold of me; he drew me out of the deep waters.” ~Psalm 18:16 I have always loved the beach and the ocean. I love all the creatures of the sea, too, except for sharks and orcas. They really freak me out with the way they turn into…

I’m Back Again
I’ve been blogging since Xanga. You have to be a Millennial like my kids or a member of Generation Jones, like me to remember that dinosaur of a blog site that began to be popular in the early 2000s. Through the years I would change my style or purpose, delete my blog and create a…
