Christian Decision Making

April 30th, 2007 · 5 Comments · Christian, Conversation

Apologies to True Commenters

April 25th, 2007 · 4 Comments · Cat-in-a-bag

I have been inundated with p0rn spam, so in the deletion process have lost some good actual comments lately- including a couple of my own, due to my troglodyte manner of having to moderate when the numbers get up in the thousands… the page just won’t load.
So, especially Greg and Meeyauw… I so appreciate [...]

Husband and Wife Blogging

April 25th, 2007 · No Comments · Clannish -Family, blogdom

I mentioned awhile back that my husband would join me on the old house blog. Well, we are slow and just mosey along in our posting there, but the experiment has turned out surprisingly well for us personally. I am not sure whether it is the mutual interest, or the cordiality that blogging confers [...]

Are Christians Poor Employee Choices?

April 25th, 2007 · 3 Comments · Character, Christian

Before you jump to conclusions, or defenses, I want to discuss a little something from the sermon this last Sunday.
The preacher is, and has been a person in the regular workforce, as differentiated by those ministers who have not worked in the job force for a long time. He has had experience hiring and firing, [...]

A Thought …for a Spring Day

April 23rd, 2007 · No Comments · Quotes

In the Valley of the Elwy
Gerard Manley Hopkins (1844–89). Poems. 1918.
I REMEMBER a house where all were good
To me, God knows, deserving no such thing:
Comforting smell breathed at very entering,
Fetched fresh, as I suppose, off some sweet wood.
That cordial air made those kind people a hood

Thankful Thursday

April 19th, 2007 · No Comments · Cuppa

I think it is time to be thankful:

for sunshine, however intermittent
for God’s blessings of provision and support
for well-stocked grocery stores, and the ability to feed your family well
for the return fo springtime weather
for health
for so many opportunities to do things- like blogging, or gardening, or getting a Starbucks coffee, or just any number of [...]

Sometimes Silence Is The Answer

April 19th, 2007 · No Comments · things that make me sigh

To questions of “How could this happen?”, or “Why me?” or any of the questions we ask God about the fate that befalls without warning, without reason, sometimes silence is the only answer.
Silence sometimes speaks, but it is the spirit that hears the unspoken words; and sometimes silence simply is.
Lorelle has written an eloquent reason [...]
