Where I live always gets cold this time of year. I mean really cold. This morning it was 18 degrees below zero (Fahrenheit), and it has now warmed up to 6 degrees above zero at 1 p.m. Today I was having a conversation with someone about a diesel station wagon we had in 1987. There … Continue reading Wax cold

Lapis Lazuli Blue
Just so you know, green is my favorite color. I had a lovely string of malachite beads that I used for my prayerful meditations. A friend who was going through a difficult divorce, needed some extra encouragement, and so I gave them to her, as green is her favorite color too. When looking for a … Continue reading Lapis Lazuli Blue
The Science of Faith
One day a group of scientists got together and decided that man had come a long way and no longer needed God. So they picked one scientist to go and tell Him that they were done with Him. The scientist walked up to God and said, "God, we've decided that we no longer need You. … Continue reading The Science of Faith

No, not damn girl, but Dam Girl! Damn girl is defined as when a lady is truly awesome. This post is going to be about my Holding My Peace, which I pray would make me truly awesome in God's eyes! In a previous post, Raising Cain, I told how I was having a bad day, … Continue reading Dam Girl!
Stir it up
It's huge! 17 inches across the top and 12 inches deep. That's the size of my husband's favorite cooking pot. The wooden spoon he uses to stir is 18 inches long. He is a fantastic cook.

If someone calls you fat, just ignore them. You are bigger than that. To ignore is to refuse to pay attention to; to disregard; to pass over or by without notice; to treat as if not known; and to leave out of account. I am reading through Job in my One Year Bible, and three … Continue reading Ignore it
Vivid dream
It is raining here today, and the newscast said... wait for it...we might be getting snow this evening! It is August! Really? Snow is a four letter word in my book and I wanted to send her an email saying I was coming down to the studio to wash her mouth out with soap for … Continue reading Vivid dream
Think outside the box
I just love speaking with kids. They have not been conformed to “behaving like an adult” yet, and the things they say delight me. They truly think outside the box. Thinking outside the box is a metaphor that means to think differently, unconventionally, or from a new perspective. This phrase often refers to novel or … Continue reading Think outside the box
Hands off!
A turtle walks into a bar, but the owner grabs it and throws it out. It came back five months later and yells, “Get your hands off me!” The phrase hands off implies the establishing of boundaries. It is behavior characterized by non-intervention and non-interference. My word for this year is Freedom. I am working … Continue reading Hands off!
