Stopping to Smell the “Roses”
If it’s possible to slow down at the same time that we’re speeding along, then that is what we’ve been doing. There’s never an end to the work to be done—and I’m sorry to have to tell you that, but there’s just not—yet still, there’s an attitude of gratitude that makes all the difference.I’m getting all mushy on you, aren’t I?Okay, I’ll stop.We … [Read more...]

Is there anything as sweet as a 6-year-old, I wonder? Truly, few things are.We walked hand-in-hand and she talked nonstop. The dog lunged here and there.Just up the road is a field of wildflowers; … [Read more...]

Welcomed to the (Spiritual) World
“Once you were all darkness. Now, in the Lord, you are all light.”(Ephesians 5:8)So we were at a 4th of July party on the day before Anthony’s baptism and I was complaining good-naturedly to a friend at the buffet table. “What was I thinking, scheduling a baptism for the day after the 4th? I’m going crazy with all this planning!”Elizabeth is one of … [Read more...]
Before and After
(Because you know I can’t get enough of these “Before and After” shots)Before......and after!I am still putting together the post for Anthony’s baptism but thought I’d share these two photos in the meantime. Cathie is one of my dearest friends and it was a joy—chaotic, but still a joy—to have our bouncing babies baptized together.You’ll note that … [Read more...]
