That’s interesting

Things I post are not showing up. We’ll try again. Update That was interesting.  Things seemed to return to normal after I posted from Live Writer.  Problem seems to be fixed.

Things learned

Maybe the best thing about ranting on a blog is that, in the responses, one begins to see that the issue that caused the rant is one that raises the passions because it is one that we also struggle with. If I rant about how others express love so imperfectly, it is because I also [...]

I can’t help it

Maybe I should not write a post when I am upset. I think I am most likely to rant.  I need to rant. I hate protocols and precedents. It seems to me that they kill spontaneity. They squelch a response to God’s spirit moving; calling us to act. They kill love and all the flexibility [...]

Taking someone you love a cup of tea and having them look up and thank you. Temperatures that do not fall below -20C. Making a grand daughter smile by playing peek-a-boo. Coffee with God in the morning.

Now, if the weather had been warmer it would have been better, but …

This was one of the best days I have had for a long time.  I had a day off.  There was no school so my work at the School Dental Program  was on hold. To start with, I slept in.  You may not consider 7:15 am as sleeping in but I do.  Its the best [...]

I’m In!

I think most of you who are around me know that I have applied for the MDiv program at North Park Theological Seminary. The application process is way more involved than just sending in transcripts and an application.  There are several references, a couple of essays to write and then telephone interviews.  I started the [...]

A Push From The Almighty

It was a beautiful morning as I left home just before sunrise this morning.  The sky was one of those amazing shades of pinky orange and I had a few extra minutes before I was due at the church for worship music practice.  I had my camera in my purse and on the spur of [...]
