My husband’s great uncle was killed in World War I. The wheel horses were King horses, and the rest belonged to area farmers. “Blessed are the gentle, for they shall inherit the earth.” Matthew 5:5 (NIV) “You hold Turk while I saddle Ike.” Dennis had taken me home to meet his parents. But mostly to […]

More Time in the Light
My living room boasts two large windows, one about ten feet wide and the other about eight. Heavy floor-to-ceiling decorator drapes hang from each. I don’t know how much they weigh. Heavy. Took forever to find traverse rods long enough and substantial enough to support them. A few gentle tugs on a cord in […]
Habits: Breaking Old, Making New – Part 2
I have to adjust the plan. Because a timer is not going to work for these morning pages. And no, I did not eat those M&M’s early in the morning. I just sat them on the notebook for your enjoyment. I ate them later. After breakfast. Anyway, when the timer went off, I did […]
My Vision is Whack
They have eyes, but they do not see. Psalm 135:16b My vision is whack. I’ve worn glasses ever since I can remember. Grade school I think. Some of those old pictures aren’t fit for human eyes. But here’s one anyway. One thing I do know: that though I was blind, now I see. John 9:25b […]
Habits: Breaking Old, Making New–Part 1

It will do until I buy one that better fits my writing room decor. Anyway, I’ve been thinking over last week’s post and comments, and I’ve […]
Pondering Palms
The [uncompromisingly) righteous shall flourish like the palm tree [be long lived, stately, upright, useful, and fruitful.” Psalm 92:12a (Amplified) Tamar. Many Hebrew parents named their girls “date palm,” a name that symbolized elegance, grace, and beauty. These trees once flourished in the Holy Land. The ancients called Jericho “the city of palms,” and some […]
I Will Sing
I couldn’t sing on Sunday. I had laryngitis. So frustrating for one who loves to sing. As a child, I stood on a salt lick stage in the woods and serenaded whatever critters would listen. I pretended to be Patti Page. I stood outside under the stars and sang “Johnny Angel” as loud as I […]
