Lament or Complaint
By the waters of Babylon, there we sat down and wept, when we remembered Zion (Ps. 137:1, ESV). How long, O LORD? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me? (Psalm 13:1, ESV) Last Sunday Mike Erre, our pastor, preached on the Worship of lament or lament as worship.…
Janet Marilyn Wheeler 3/14/34 to 12/16/12
We are home from our trip to Arizona to say goodbye to my sweet Aunt. We drove a small U-Haul home today with too much stuff. Sigh! More purging than I wanted for 2013, but it will be good! This is the Eulogy I gave at her service at St. Peter’s Episcopal Church in Litchfield…
Bah Humbug! What I don’t like about Christmas!
This is what I plan to put on my facebook page every day in Dec., but some of you don’t like that I am “being so negative” and a “hater”! I am sorry! It was meant to be a fun way to poke fun at some of the junk that has messed up Christmas. And…

Happy Anniversary Mom & Dad!
Today is my parent’s 55th wedding anniversary. First I want to say “lucky” because I won’t have the same rare blessing.

Ode to Jimbo on his 2nd heavenly Birthday
2 years ago I tried to create a eulogy using one of Jim’s favorite stories, but it was just not right at the time. I worked on it for the 2nd anniversary of his death. I have a new appreciation for poets and I still have a broken place in my heart! It is weird…
My biggest fear
One thing I was often fearful of was that I loved Jim too much and so God would take him from me. Then my worst fear came true. I know that is not accurate because I know that is not what God is like. And yet, on really dark days I still wonder if there…
Harvesting Hope!
I was thinking of the expression, “when life gives you lemons, make lemonade” and while I understand the point of this proverb, I must say I rather like lemons. Perhaps the saying really should read (for me anyway) – When life gives you manure, grow a garden. I say this because what we have been…
Another Year to Live Fully Surrendered
It is my birthday, which is like a new year. I don’t really dream or plan or set goals anymore – at least I haven’t the past few years. But as always I want this day, this year and this one life to count. There is a line in some movie that says, “Ooohhh, that…
