Appointing our days: “make it so”

October 28, 2016

“Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.”  – Psalm 90:12 The word “number” in that verse is translated “appoint” from the original Hebrew.  That’s a much stronger meaning. Instead of “letting life happen” we are called to MAKE it happen.   This is my newest notebook: It seems … More Appointing our days: “make it so”

A mysterious white SUV and other observations

October 7, 2016

I came home from running errands, and there was an SUV by my house that looked like my previous realtor’s vehicle. I was not quick enough to get a picture, but with all this clowning around business, I can’t help but let my imagination wonder a little bit….was our previous realtor upset that we ignored … More A mysterious white SUV and other observations

Eat your eggshells or you won’t get dessert

December 1, 2013

I actually wrote that in my friend’s yearbook. She repeatedly asked me what it meant, and I told her, “nothing.” It does actually mean something, but I had trouble spitting the words out.

Is this the real life? part 2

April 15, 2011

Is this the Real Life? (part 2) Is this just fantasy? What if this is really all there is? What would be the point? If there is an afterlife, don’t you think you should prepare for it?

Life as a High School Senior

April 13, 2011

At 7:45 am, I arrived at the school parking lot, and backed my ’69 Camaro into my spot. Darleen soon approached my car from the other side of the lot. She lived accross the street from the high school, and had easy access to the goings-on in the parking lot. It was also easy access … More Life as a High School Senior
