Bible Journaling Chit-Chat
I’m sharing a bit of my Bible journaling today. I first saw Bible journaling in 2015. I loved the idea and have enjoyed following some accounts on Instagram who share their art and Bible pages. It inspired me to give it a try here and there. I’ve done a variety of things. Handlettering has […]
A Piece of Time
Snippets. Squares. Segments. Call them what you will. These captured details from my day. A sliver-y slice of time held in pixels. The moon is glowing golden and glorious in the dark sky. It’s saying hello to me through the window in my living room. Lamps glow golden on the inside, casting cozy home and […]

Today I Want To Eat At My Grandma’s Table
Think ~ Write ~ Thursday Linking up with Carole ~ ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………. Remember the times when we would pull around the bend in the drive and come to a stop in front of the garage? We’d tumble eagerly out of the car and head for the door, knowing we’d be greeted with delicious smells and warm […]
Yarn Along {Never Unfriended}

It’s Gluten Free From the Bakery on Main
Right before we were packing up our bags to head to Ohio in March, this box made its arrival onto my doorstep. Now, I love packages and parcels arriving in the mail or left on my porch by the UPS or Fed Ex delivery people. I’d been expecting this shipment and I was happy when […]
Life Will Not Always Be As It Is Today
Life will not always be as it is today. ~ I read this quote a few years ago and it lingers in my mind. A reminder that resonates with me often. It applies well to all the days. On the hard days ~ they won’t last forever. On the discouraging days ~ another day will […]

Ten What Ifs From My Friend

I […]
Sanctuary Offered in the Ordinary
I sit with my ratty hair in my old rocking chair, the one I’ve had since before my daughter was born. I push with one foot, causing the chair to react with gentle motion. This double thickness fleece blanket is tucked on my lap, the one with the cute trucks and cars splayed out in printed […]
A Tree House Hideaway
Linking up with Carole ~ We have a little tree house hideaway in our woods. My son built it, well, longer ago now than I think it was. I want to say last summer, but I’m pretty sure that’s not right. He’s not close by, so I can’t ask him. One day he was struck […]
