I’ve got eggs ready to pour into the bowl. Miss E and the radio are both contending for my attention. She wants to pour the wet ingredients into the dry and the talk show host wants me to fear Ebola. I can’t concentrate on both and at first the radio starts to win, drawing me […]

Reflecting His Image
The bell rings and we scramble from our seats. It’s recess time at last! The weather is beautiful – perfect for playing and not at all conducive to arithmetic. I grab my library book and hold it close as I shuffle into line. Books have become my best friends. We stream out the door, finally […]
A Year of Rest – Join me?
Welcome back! Last week I wrote about how my soul has been longing for REST, and at the end I invited you to join me in this endeavor. I’m so glad that you came back so we could talk a little bit about what that might look like in the upcoming year. I’ve been thinking and praying about […]

Communication, or the lack thereof
My husband looks at me and asks me what’s wrong. Did he offend me? Did he do something wrong? And, instead of being honest, I swallow my hurt and frustration, tell him no, and continue to fold laundry. I tell him I have a headache and I’m tired. He gets me some water and aspirin […]

Spring and Summer offer a wonderful variety of berries all with go fantastically with fresh whipped cream. If you’re pinched for time don’t hesitate to purchase Redi-whip. But, if your have a moment, freshly whipped is divine […]
