Monday February 16 It's warm and drippy today. Dear Lord, save some snow for the Birkebiener. Yesterday was a good day. We went to church taking a warm apple crisp for carry-in lunch and we sat where we chose, arriving early. I taught a ladies Sunday School class and enjoyed it. Thank you, Lord. We… Continue reading Another 20 Minutes

Another 20 Minutes
It was a wedding invitation. I finally got down to actually studying this parable. The detail is rich, you guys. You have to know a bit about Jewish weddings in the first place to understand what really is happening in Jesus' story. Also, the two invitations, and the seriousness of not accepting them becomes clear… Continue reading Another 20 Minutes
20 Minutes
It's Thursday. A home day. Home days are meant for homekeeping around here. Sometimes that means cleaning and organizing or kitchen work. Most of the time that means reading or creating more messes. Today I started out with studying mostly just sitting and thinking about our Sunday School text. I am the teacher for the… Continue reading 20 Minutes
Take Away of Last Week
I know nothing about politics. So when I make observations from my own little corner of the world, don't try to pin me to any particular stance or party. Mostly, I am still impressionable and hopeful. And I like happy endings to great stories. I'm referring To Jimmy Carter's funeral last week. I really enjoyed… Continue reading Take Away of Last Week
Notes From The Journal
Psalm 147: 2-6 The Lord rebuilds Jerusalem... Where He dwells with us. He gathers Israel's exiled people... Those we thought lost. He heals the brokenhearted... Even me. And bandages their wounds... He takes time and cares for my details. He counts the number of the stars... He has the tally of the impossible. He gives… Continue reading Notes From The Journal
Almost Through May
In the end, May has been a quick exchange of quiet spring to lush June-like green and glory. Now we're mowing the grass every few days. Trees are leafed out. And the patio flowers planted. The church calendar was too full, but it all took place with or without us while we did our best… Continue reading Almost Through May
Spring Stuff
It's springtime now. The grass greens a bit when it rains and the spring bulbs are all coming up blades of green. Brad went to Nebraska and we miss him. We miss him for him. We also miss him for his chores. When Elv brings in firewood he makes a good job of it to last… Continue reading Spring Stuff
Wake Up Call For Us Moms
We tell our children that tomorrow's world is going to be much different than today's. We tell them that they will have worse or more intense evil to face and to teach their children against. It's a scary future if you get to focusing on the news or listening to too much VCY America radio. Being… Continue reading Wake Up Call For Us Moms
Our Summer Verses Colosians 3:12-17
12 Put on then, as God's chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience,13 bearing with one another and, if one has a complaint against another, forgiving each other; as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive. 14 And above all these put on love, which binds everything… Continue reading Our Summer Verses Colosians 3:12-17
Melinda’s Wedding…My Version
The household got up at 7:30 this morning and we were all thrown into a flurry of preparing for the wedding. Amber's hem, a forgotten sleeve, some lace, and elastic work all fell into place. Oops, Hannah forgot her serving frock, so I dug out a substitute and installed a new zipper for that. White… Continue reading Melinda’s Wedding…My Version
