“I’d phone my sister if I thought she’d pick up the phone,” a friend remarked recently. “We haven’t spoken for about 20 years.” I was stunned. This is one of the nicest, most caring, relational guys I ever met. “What happened?” I asked. “Nothing really. Just grew apart. We live
By Deanna Nowadnick – Camping“Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you… Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.” John 14:27 I hated camping as a child and as a young person. My outdoor experiences were commensurate with torture, a reflection that is
A prayer is a journey released. I believe That when you pray for other people, that prayer goes on a journey, And like all journeys, come back home. Prayer returned home. Come back home in the manner it was released – with either faith, hope and love or faithless, hopeless
Father’s Day is bittersweet for me. I rejoice that my son’s have the father I never did – and I realize more keenly what I missed and wonder what I would have been like had I a father like they have. This post is for all the fatherless daughters, whether
My period of Grace was this month, this May. Sort of. Most of May has been spent enjoying the farm, the animals; re-arranging portions of the house, doing farm chores and, simply, living. Blogging has taken a back seat for no particular reason other than my brain needed a rest.
“You are never too old to set another goal or dream another dream.” ~ C. S. Lewis ~ Dave watched as I carried household goods from one side of the street to the other. Probably, I was an interesting diversion for him; now in his eleventh month of mourning. Cathy,
By Daphne Tarango – I embrace it. I reject it. I long for it. I avoid it. I enjoy it. I dislike it. I’m talking about change. Can you relate? Parts of me want change; other parts resist it. Sometimes, we bring change on ourselves. Sometimes, change finds us. New
Recently I read A Dog’s Purpose by Karen McNeil and thought you’d enjoy it as well. If you don’t please, don’t tell me; I’d still prefer to think the best of you. -smile- “Being a veterinarian, I had been called to examine a ten-year old Irish Wolfhound named Belker. The
In March, we transplanted one butterfly bush that turned into two, one beautiful blue hydrangea, a knock-out rose bush – not to mention a trunk full of thinned out gifts from my aunt: yellow, white, purple, yellow with purple irises, yellow evening primroses, some little red/pink ground cover, bergamot and

“Remain in me, and I will remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me. I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him,
Someone once said if all the women in the world who were awake at 3 a.m. got together, they could rule the world. Do you think there’s verity in that comment? I do, but then I wonder, what if all those women weren’t Christians? Then I’m reminded of a man
A stomach bug has been creeping around our house. The blessings, in their usual places, don’t comfort me. The yard cardinals, my growing-tall zinnias, my burning bushes, the squirrels on the sidewalk to my office – even the hammock under the tree. 472. Some days, like stomach bug days, the
On the way home last week… while driving country roads, I heard a wonderful sermon by Chuck Swindoll where he was talking about angels and singing and Christmas and living in a fallen world. No, really… all in the same sermon! He mentioned a study that found most of the
Fluffy baby chicks. Not just for holding. For snuggling against cheeks. Fluffy baby chicks symbolize God’s amazing provision, at least in my family history. Those baby chicks symbolized inheritance, stored up through a faith and hope kind of living – a way of living whose roots stretch down to me,
