Ruminations
For the record - a counted blessing
You know, it’s so easy to complain. I do it probably too much. I’m getting better, but it usually only takes me about two minutes in the morning to forget God and start complaining about the most trivial matter. Well, today I just want to say I’m empty-handed. I don’t have [...]
Steven’s Jeans
Maybe it’s in his genes. Who knows!
I’m referring to a new parenting challenge Eric and I have faced in the past few weeks with our two year-old son Steven. He seems quite obsessed with his jeans. Now I don’t mean any ‘ole jeans - only his pair of long blue [...]
Good like a medicine
I can’t believe another year has passed, and I have come again to the June 15th reading of Spurgeon’s Morning and Evening. It seems like it was just last week that I read it. Today’s delivery is a special one in my heart. It was the reason I chose “good like a [...]

Quilting, sewing, drawing, knitting, decorative painting, floral arranging, photo/scrap-booking, interior decorating, finishing wood projects …… etc., etc. [...]
Recharge, Refuel, Relax
Sabbath.
I need to go to sleep, but I wanted to take a moment to ponder what this particular Sabbath day has been for my soul. Psalm 4:8 says, “In peace I will both lie down and sleep; for you alone, O LORD, make me dwell in safety.” God alone gives me true rest, and I [...]
"He wasn’t a baby long!"
One time when Lydia was about four months old, I held her in my arms at church and told a friend, “Ohhh, how I wish she could just stay a baby like this forever!” I remember my friend smiling and chuckling to herself as she said, “I know, it’s wonderful, isn’t it? But you [...]
Feels like home

Meredith is asleep, and I’m sitting here listening to Norah Jones as I go through some mail and write a few letters. My mama just drove away a few hours ago, and I know it hasn’t hit [...]
