I say "the edge" because peace is elusive... "Why is God my Lord? Because He is my creator and I am His creature." ....at least in this world, it is... "At death we must leave everything. Let's make the most of our time. Let us not die empty-handed." ...but this retreat... "Let us place ourselves sincerely and honestly … [Read more...]
The Story of a {Tortured} Soul
Why yes, yes I am. Why do you ask? Well, there's that whole "Should I blog or should I stop" thing. It's getting kind of old, you know. I DO know that. I didn't mean for that post to get published! Seriously? Then why did you? I was drunk. Okay, that's scandalous. I know. I plan to confess it as soon as possible. Would it help if I told … [Read more...]
Humor Break
The odds are extremely good that you've already seen this, but I could watch it again and again. This man and his wife have a joy that's infectious... ...and joy is good! It trumps glum blogging. … [Read more...]
Retreat!
That's meant to be a battle cry. Because...with all the stuff that we got going on? It is a battle, isn't it? We are constantly choosing and rejecting and deciding. Time online should be RELEVANT. Which begs the question... Is it worth it? Is it worth it to keep on blogging? Because you know what? There are THOUSANDS of … [Read more...]

Post Memorial Day Musings
On What it Means to be Truly Free ~ To the dad in the check-out line at Rainbow Foods. You are why I'm writing this. ~ I really love Memorial Day.

Puppy Love {and a Blog Announcement}
George's birthday was yesterday. Can you believe that the baby in this photo is already five?! I can't. We celebrated quietly, as a family, with fish sticks & cake (eaten separately) and later, a monkey pinata in the backyard. I didn't take a single photo (because I can't find my memory card) but because I am working on a New Improved … [Read more...]
Something Other Than God
That's a wonderful book title, isn't it? A wonderful title, yes, but such a sad, sad thought. Why would we want to choose something other God? And yet we do.
