Sheri shared some fun odd quirky things about herself, and has tagged me to share as well.
1.) I always carry books with me where ever I go, just in case. Although I seldom have the opportunity to read while on the go, the moment I leave them behind, I regret it.
2.) I don’t like holes in things. Once we [...]
The latest Salt challenge is the theme, Believe. The text is John 9 about a blind man whose sight was restored. His response, “Lord, I believe.”
This page is also a reflection of my own experience. When I was blind, my world was colorless, dark, lifeless. Now I feel the blood flowing, and although I can [...]
My husband told me I shouldn’t drive to church today. He left early in our 4-wheel drive vehicle to help with the worship band and slid much of the way there. Although the snow is not that thick yet, it rained first, and then froze before it snowed. Underneath the gentle, lovely blanket of [...]
Afternoon on a Hill
by Edna St. Vincent Millay
I will be the gladdest thing
Under the sun!
I will touch a hundred flowers
and not pick one.
I will look at cliffs and clouds
with quiet eyes,
Watch the wind bow down the grass,
and the grass rise.
And when the lights begin to show
up from the town,
I will mark which must be mine,
and [...]
After much prayer and seeking this past month, God has given me a verse for 2008:
Hebrews 12:1-2 Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that [...]
New year resolutions, I am not one to set them, but have found myself pondering and praying about God’s directions for me. This fall I spent extremely too much time on the computer. I am sure I wasted days. This is not what God has prepared for me. Last spring, God began stripping responsibilities and duties [...]
I was thoroughly enjoying the art every day month challenge. As I awoke each day, I’d stay alert for inspiration for that day’s art. Yet, with no reason at all, I became extremely depressed. It was not the art. It was not my husband’s insane work schedule. It was not my children’s daily antics. I [...]
Today’s art is me:
I started with a base coat of gesso loose powder. My canvas seems to be extremely oily.
Next I apply my first layer, accenting the natural Swedish contour of the canvas.
Did I apply an even, concentric coat? Yes.
The next layer adds depth and subtle highlights.
Layer upon layer, it’s all good.
My dad always wanted [...]
I’ve been appreciating the freedom of contacts. The first few days I was quite apprehensive waiting for an uncomfortable dryness or itchiness. This reaction is from remembrances of my many years with hard or gas permeable contacts. But these soft contacts are so comfy. I’ve been putting them in the moment I wake up and [...]
I just had to laugh when I read Julie’s blog. I, too, visited the eye doctor yesterday. That tell-tale squint was happening again, so I knew the time had come. Also, after wearing glasses for 3 years, I was ready for contacts again. I even got to wear them home!
Here is a wonderful self-photo of [...]
