New Video: Where is the line to see Jesus?
December 7, 2012
http://www.youtube.com/watch_popup?v=OExXItDyWEY&vq=medium Where is the line to see Jesus? From an early age, Americans are taught that there is a Santa who brings us presents for Christmas, an Easter Bunny who brings us candy, and even a Tooth Fairy to pay us when we lose our baby teeth. We believe we get gifts from these imaginary … More New Video: Where is the line to see Jesus?
Door Keeper
December 2, 2012
My pastor read this poem today. It was written by Sam Shoemaker. I Stand at the Door By Sam Shoemaker (from the Oxford Group) I stand by the door. I neither go to far in, nor stay to far out. The door is the most important door in the world – It is the door … More Door Keeper

There is much grief in our world. Many of us carry around the anguish of having lost someone close to our hearts. There are questions that loom about death and what comes in the “after life.” The Bible tells us that there is something after death. And as it is…
Girl’s Night In
November 29, 2012
My friend invited a bunch of us over last night for some food and fun. We ate pizza, salad, and some yummy desserts. One person told me that she has been reading my blog and really likes it. I was so happy for the encouragement. I explained that I am trying to do what God tells … More Girl’s Night In

We are children of God
November 26, 2012
I watched the movie, “Pilgrims Progress” last night. I started thinking about one character in particular, who sounded like present-day scientists: “There is no such thing as Heaven or God, it can’t be proven scientifically.” Now I know there are a few scientists who set out to prove there was no God, but met Jesus along … More We are children of God
One more comment on Black Friday
November 24, 2012
I watched several videos of Black Friday madness, where people hurt other people to get to the sale items. They would walk on top of another human to save $30 on a cell phone! This has been getting worse every year it seems, and now the sales even start ON Thanksgiving Day! People are camped … More One more comment on Black Friday
Battleship
November 24, 2012
Remember the board game Battleship? When I was a kid, Battleship was a popular game. One day when my siblings and I went up to visit some neighbors. As we walked in, I noticed the garbage was piled up in the garbage bin, and the smell was gross. The floor was gray and dirty, and there … More Battleship

Strange Things I have in common with my sister
November 20, 2012
My sister and I are very different people. I have blonde hair and green eyes; she has dark brown hair and dark brown eyes. Her idea of a party is a loud, dance extravaganza. My ideal party is a picnic with family and friends where I can chat with folks I haven’t seen in a while. … More Strange Things I have in common with my sister

Salt
November 12, 2012
Part of yesterday’s blog was “vanished into thin air.” I will try again! SALT Jesus said, “You are the salt of the earth.” – Matt. 5:13 These days, we are warned that too much salt is a bad thing; it leads to high blood pressure and other ills. Salt was vitally important before refrigeration was … More Salt
Time and Space
November 8, 2012
While mourning the death of my cousin, I now find myself mourning the death of my country. I did not vote for Obama or Romney, I did not see enough difference between them. I voted 3rd party– to be a mosquito –to be a small voice among many crying “no.” While the average American voter knows only … More Time and Space
Food is my frenemy
November 6, 2012
I ate too much pumpkin pie last night. I woke up at 4 am with pain in my stomach. I did it again. I punished myself by overeating. Why am I craving pumpkin? Is there a nutrient in the pumpkin that I need? Or am I brainwashed by the pumpkin spice latte commercials? Is it … More Food is my frenemy
A Night at the Soup Kitchen
October 30, 2012
My husband and I volunteered at a soup kitchen with his church last Saturday. Mexican Chicken was on the menu. We were on the “cooking” team. I’m not much of a cook, but I did what I could. Usually, when I ask my friends if I can help with dinner, they tell me, “Sure, why don’t … More A Night at the Soup Kitchen
So they lowered him down through the roof
October 22, 2012
Yesterday, our guest speaker at church spoke about the story in the gospel of Matthew Chapter 9 . This is the one where Jesus is speaking at someone’s house and draws a big crowd. There are people in the doorways and windows. There is a man who is paralyzed, on a bed/stretcher/mat ( I guess wheelchairs … More So they lowered him down through the roof
Blizzards of times past
October 18, 2012
There is a cartoon character, Maxine, who once said, “Of course Frosty the Snowman was a jolly, happy soul. He never had to drive in a blizzard.” I remember driving in blizzards in the late 1970’s. My very first car, a 1969 Camaro was the envy of the neighborhood on a hot August day. But not … More Blizzards of times past
Splish Splash
October 16, 2012
The following is a “free write” exercise from my writing class: [inspired by “Splish Splash”] Like most families growing up in the 1960’s, Saturday night bath time was a big event. My brother, sister and I would tell my mother, “Aww, I don’t want to take a bath.” But once I got in the tub, … More Splish Splash
