Are you enjoying your summer? Here in the Pacific Northwest of the USA our summers are incredibly beautiful and enjoyable! We spend so much more time outdoors and the evenings are long and delightful! Lately I’ve been sitting by the river and looking up at the puffy white clouds in the bright blue sky. ThisContinue reading “Look Up!”

The Tent
I’ve been working pretty hard this month with a lot of fun events at our home and property with friends, family and our church team. It’s a joy to serve but there’s a break coming! I’m going tent camping with my husband for four nights/five days to Lost Lake, near Mount Hood in Oregon, USA.Continue reading “The Tent”
The Box
I have a monthly subscription that is very unusual and controversial. No, it’s not a magazine–it’s a box. It’s a surprise box that is delivered to my home and I don’t know what will be in it. Each month I’m delighted to open it–it makes my day–just like good surprises always do. I’d love toContinue reading “The Box”
It’s all about Relationship!
This week a team member reminded me that my walk with Jesus is all about relationship! How? She texted me the poster that is at the end of this blog. I often say, “It’s not a religion–it’s a relationship.” At church our pastors always say to those who come forward, “A church can’t save you,Continue reading “It’s all about Relationship!”

Recreation
What do you do for recreation? Our recreation almost always has something to do with nature and scenery. This is why there’s a pun on the word recreation= re-creation. I want to share things about God’s re-creation. I’m no artist but I know that when an artist potter is not happy with their clay creation,Continue reading “Recreation”
Finish Well!
My granddaughter June is a runner. She runs the 800 meter race beautifully. I love her stride! This Spring she made it again to state finals. I wanted to go but sadly we were unavailable that day. My daughter made a video of it for me. I was so happy that I could be aContinue reading “Finish Well!”
Wall of Words
My husband and I have some enjoyable acquaintances. These men are so dang smart! Their brains remember everything they ever read or heard. They are like encyclopedias–Wikipedia!! They also are incredible communicators–teachers! I see them as verbally skilled expositors, with clarity, detail and superb stories. They have amusing tales, entertaining tidbits and endless conversation. IContinue reading “Wall of Words”
I Agree!
My husband and I say a bedtime prayer together. When we started this routine, I was the one who was praying out loud for the two of us before we slept. I prayed for our home life, the kids, health and gave thanks for the day–simple, grateful prayers. But after a few months there wereContinue reading “I Agree!”
Draw Near!
I was sitting in my daughter’s living room a few years ago, just ‘being there’ and watching the family. My son-in-law had their youngest daughter on his lap facing him. They were playing a game they had made up and played many times. I will call it, “Which is your favorite?’ It went like this:Dad:Continue reading “Draw Near!”
