2012 Resolution – On The Road II

Eden Found

Hi again today! At my brother’s prompting, I’m writing another post today; this one is not so much about the weather. It’s about settling in to life in Las Cruces, NM. I knew when we prepared to leave the Heartland to move to New Mexico that we were leaving a beautiful part of this country,Continue reading “Eden Found”

Family

What a wild couple of weeks it has been since last I wrote. And the title of today’s post summarizes the past 3 weeks; these weeks have me thinking of family today. My life has been blessed by family. I have friends who never speak to their family. I have friends whose families can onlyContinue reading “Family”

Tactical Moves and a Request

Hello all. It’s been about a month, now; a busy month. Scott and I have been struggling to get the new bath done, and we ARE making progress (I tell myself), just very slow progress. And it’s tiring progress. It’s amazing how much each weekend takes out of me. The foot is slowly recovering. ThisContinue reading “Tactical Moves and a Request”

Up to speed

Hi. It’s been an eventful two weeks since my last blog entry. No deep thoughts for you all this time around. There is a ligament that runs most of the length of the bottom of our feet called the Plantar Fascia. When this ligament is overtaxed in some way, it becomes inflamed, and this conditionContinue reading “Up to speed”

The Serenade

God knocks, calls, serenades us, but doesn’t necessarily intrude unless we desire and consent to intimacy. -R. Jay Pearson I get a mental image of God standing outside my window, singing me love songs… and me sitting all aloof in my room, ignoring the noise outside. Wondering why God has withdrawn intimate contact. Wondering why I’m strugglingContinue reading “The Serenade”

Footnote

Two in 24 hours! Don’t get excited… this is an administrative post. I have two bits of “administrivia” to deal with. First, I know that I have at least a half dozen readers, because I get comments. The problem is, few actually comment here ON my blog! I get emails and facebook comments. This isContinue reading “Footnote”

Spirit-Journey

Is there anyone who is not aware of the metaphor that our life is a journey? That metaphor pops up so many times that really it’s lost any punch for me. “Yeah, yeah, yeah”, I think to myself. Tell me something I DON’T know. Or perhaps, I hear statements like “The destination is the journey”.Continue reading “Spirit-Journey”

Wacky Cake, Revisited

Well, I think I’ve done it. This evening, I set out to try baking a Wacky Cake again, and I think maybe I got it right this time. We’ll know soon, when we have dessert! There were SOME issues with this one. To begin with, I couldn’t find a 9″ X 9″ cake pan, onlyContinue reading “Wacky Cake, Revisited”

Correction!

For those of you who read my blog via email, and not directly on my site, I must point out an error. I used the word “nadir” incorrectly. It turns out that it means the exact OPPOSITE of what I thought it meant! I have corrected that word now to read ZENITH. This is VERYContinue reading “Correction!”

Count Them One By One

Know where that title comes from? There is an old, old song “When upon life’s billows you are tempest tossed…” It’s a childs song, though we’ve sung it at church many a time. The song reminds us that when things seem bad and life is a turmoil, it helps to count ones blessing, rather thanContinue reading “Count Them One By One”
