Ears to Hear Heb. 9:1-10
Hebrews 9:1-10 1 Now the first covenant, in fact, had regulations for worship and its earthly sanctuary. 2 For a tent was prepared, the outer one, which contained the lampstand, the table, and the presentation of the loaves; this is called the holy place. 3 And after the second curtain there was a tent called…
Mermaid Day!
Well it is my birthday! I am the age of the minimum wind speed needed to issue a severe thunderstorm warning. In Spongebob Squarepants Patrick claims that my age is the luckiest number ever! And my age matches the number of counties in the state of California. So how did I spend my day? I…
25 Pun Salute to Emily
Happy 25th Birthday to my Punny and random girl! I kept debating what to say or do for your “card” this year and this is what you get: What goes up and never comes down? Your age! If you want a Cinderella birthday party I can invite all your friends over to clean up for…
Ears to Hear Psalm 148
Psalm 148 1 Praise the LORD! Praise the LORD from the sky! Praise him in the heavens! 2 Praise him, all his angels! Praise him, all his heavenly assembly! 3 Praise him, O sun and moon! Praise him, all you shiny stars! 4 Praise him, O highest heaven, and you waters above the sky! 5…
Get over it
This would have been our 37th wedding anniversary; it is one of those weird things that I am not sure how to word. I am never clear on which verb tense I should use or whether or not I should keep counting the years at all. It is so confusing sometimes! I used to say…
My Vacation 2017
Here are some scenes from my trip to Idaho. It was amazing, as it usually is, to spend time with this family. I find their company inspiring, entertaining, spiritually challenging, and meaningful. God knew what I would need when He brought JCM into my life! Highlights include thrifting on National thrift store day, homemade huckleberry…
Dig Deep
SO, I have this friend who forces me to dig deep. I have not done that in awhile. She is amazing and I am so blessed to spend Thursdays with her and I have come to cherish those times. So the question becomes how to duplicate or replicate this sweet event. How do I use…
RIP Dinah
So we had this cat. We got her in 1998 when she was a kitten and the kids were little. We named her Dinah after Alice in Wonderland’s cat. Dinah was mostly Emily’s cat. She loved to cuddle and sleep with us. She had a season of not being nice and we often told her…
A Theology of Suffering
Girlfriend night. Summer brought up a very interesting thing that God whispered to her and it got me thinking too. (I love how that happens!) This is not a theological position; that would be worthy of at least one volume and years of study. I was thinking about this after meeting at Girlfriend Night and…
Beach Glass
I love beach glass. I remember hunting for it with my Uncle John along the beaches in New England. Whenever we found a piece we felt like we had found a treasure, especially if it was a color we had not seen in a while. While people avoid broken glass because of its sharp edges,…
