DISCLAIMER: I started typing an hour ago with the express purpose of keeping it short this week. Partly because I only planned to talk about one thing I learned, and partly because I just don’t have time to type for two hours today. Well, I give up. I’m still only talking [...]

No carols here tonight

I just opened up my iTunes to have a little listen to Christmas 24/7. If you didn’t already think I’m “unique”, you surely know it now. Listening to Christmas music in May isn’t something you admit unless you’re comfortable with who you are.
Anyway, I clicked PLAY only to be told that
Currently this station [...]

I have a new favourite verse.
When leaders lead in Israel,
When the people willingly offer themselves,
Bless the LORD!
Judges 5:2
I have been reminded once again how much I am like the children of Israel. It is a humbling realization. I am so thankful that God has never deserted His people, in spite of the fact [...]
A Hymn for Mother’s Day

My husband usually teases me by saying that every day is Mother’s Day. It’s true. I love my family. I love my kids. I am so thankful for them, but feel so unequal to the responsibility of raising them. I played this song for the offering at our service this [...]

My Book Review Friday post. On Friday even. I feel like the one who shows up for church an hour early the day after Daylight Savings ends. That’s what happens when one is habitually late: you feel embarrassingly early when you’re on time.
1 Corinthians 13 is always convicting. When I was [...]

I learned a lot this week. I just can’t tell you how exciting it is to be reading AND UNDERSTANDING.
(I do want to say that if you read my very long BRF reviews, I hope they encourage you. I don’t always read all of the reviews because sometimes we are so excited and [...]
Calling all campers
Posted in Uncategorized on May 2, 2007 | 11 Comments »
Summer is just around the corner. We’ve been saying that we don’t want to be once-a-year campers, but we know from experience that unless we become proactive, that is exactly what we will be.
We love to camp, but we really haven’t learned the ropes yet. Fortunately we have always travelled with seasoned campers [...]
A wise and relieving thing to do

So declared Emma Woodhouse to her friend Harriet, when Harriet told her that she had finally drummed up the courage to get rid of some extra baggage she had been hoarding, and said she would toss the items into the fire.
Well, I’m not tossing stuff into the fire, but I sure am enjoying tossing stuff [...]
