Four beautiful little girls, curly hair bouncing in the sunlight upon the plain: They are the daughters of a wealthy man, a righteous man, a man of high standing, a man who knows God. They are Lot’s daughters, descendants of the chosen and blessed son of Noah: Seth. Born in the tents of Abraham among … More Remember the Children!
As a high school student, I remember walking to our lockers in the morning with my friend, and one of us would turn to the other and say, “What are we doing here?” At the time, the answer was fairly simple for me: get an education and head to college. I’m sure it was much … More What am I doing here?
This is my favorite feature on my laptop, especially because I often accidentally brush the touchpad with my thumb which signals my computer to highlight and delete a portion of my writing! How wonderful to be able to undo the unwanted action! Oh, if I could only do the same with some of my words … More The Undo Button
Well, the last job is done for the winter—tilling the garden. Dear old Tilly is out there now, purring away until the gas is gone. A good wash and she gets to rest for the season. The garden is ready, but for what? It’s ready to rest; however, any seeds that are still in the … More Ready, Set, WAIT!
WWJD—What would Jesus do? What a wonderful mantra. (By the way, that word ‘mantra’ means: in Hindu and Buddhist religious practice, a sacred word, chant, or sound that is repeated during meditation to facilitate spiritual power and transformation of consciousness. Somehow, it doesn’t seem fitting to use it in reference to Jesus Christ!) HOWEVER, the … More Just a Little Talk About Jesus
What makes the perfect seashell? Last week I enjoyed a morning stroll on the beach. Usually, that’s my husband’s routine; however, since his fall in March, long walks are still a trial. This vacation was a step into the unknown: How much would he be able to walk or enjoy the beach? Certainly, life has … More The Perfect Shell, or Finally Home!
On Monday, my husband and I spend part of the morning looking for a wallet. It had been left on the trunk of a car, along with a Bible. The Bible was found—sadly in several pieces, but the wallet is still missing. I took a rake with me on my hunt to sift through the high … More LOST!
As we headed to the Pennsylvania Grand Canyon with our evangelist friends, I was once again reminded of another visit there. Although our canyon is nothing compared to the “real” Grand Canyon, it is still quite a site. The deep gorge carved by the Pine Creek over billions and billions of years (just wanted to … More Deadly Shortcut at the PA Grand Canyon
“Your carrots look really good,” my mom said as she looked out my kitchen window. Ah yes, two lacy green rows of baby carrot tops all in a straight row – nice and thick. “Yes, I bought my seeds from the local hardware store,” I said. “Only paid fifty-two cents for a half scoop of … More Too Much Green in My Garden?
Well, it’s official – our last little (or not so little!) bird just flew the nest. As he said, “Good night. I’ll see you in the morning,” for the last time, a lump came to my throat – the same lump that has been lodging itself there for the past few weeks! The Lord has … More Empty Nest is for the Birds
