The Fabric of Our Days
Open windows and Adventure and Shrieks and Laughter. . And 7:15 a.m. with 63 degrees on the thermometer and a cool breeze. And my white robe belted around me feels snuggly good and I’m quite content to curl my hands around my coffee mug and watch from my backdoor porch. I’m mostly not-a-thrill-seeker. My adventures […]

Ten Simple Lessons I Find in the Book of Mark
1. Don’t harbor grudges. It won’t end well. ~ Mark 6:19 So Herodias nursed a grudge against John and wanted to kill him. But she was not able to. 2. Don’t be afraid. Just believe. ~ Mark 5:36 Overhearing what they said, Jesus told him, “Don’t be afraid; just believe.” 3. Don’t rebuke Jesus. […]
Gratitude For Jesus and Happy Things
Three devotions I recently posted on Instagram ~ He Meets Our Needs Water-pelted soil lies damp, deep, silent. The water-runs leave furrows and marks and the dirt, now mud-clumped, shows the etched lines left by my farmer’s implement. It contrasts beautifully against the brilliant blue this Kansas sky is so good at. It shouts silently […]

Ten Favorite Books I Posted on Instagram
A couple of weeks ago, a friend tagged me on Instagram with a booklover sharing challenge. I was supposed to share seven books, but while I am a rule-follower much of the time, sometimes I color outside the lines. Especially in an instance where it really doesn’t matter and isn’t going to hurt anyone, and […]
Maintain Wisdom and Discernment
{Proverbs 3:19-22} The Lord founded the earth by wisdom and established the heavens by understanding. By His knowledge the watery depths broke open, and the clouds dripped with dew. Maintain sound wisdom and discretion. My son, don’t lose sight of them. They will be life for you and adornment for your neck. . MAINTAIN SOUND […]
Flowered Handpies
Handpies. Isn’t the name itself enchanting? Because who doesn’t want pie you can hold in your hand?! Well, unless, of course, you don’t care for pie……..then, well, then you’re probably not even reading this post. Because it stands to reason, if you don’t like pie, most likely you aren’t doing long Google searches for pie, […]
In Which I Think About Special Days and Friendship
I do not claim to understand life. The living and breathing and moving of it. The heart of it and soul in it and soul in us. Mystery this. How we live in the moments and the clock tick-tocks them away faster than we can say hickory-dickory-dock and wraps them up into memory packages for […]
Rejoice! Be Glad! And Give Him Glory.
Rain drip, drip, drops from the sky and the eaves this morning. It sounds companionable and cozy. Gray skies hug around the house and I curl my hands around the warmth of my brightly flowered coffee mug. I sip the coffee, this brew I finally managed to make after wrangling with our Keurig a bit. […]
