Friendship
Friendship is an odd phenomenon. My friend Terrie Ann and I have been friends since we were in first grade together. In the years since we graduated from high school, we hardly ever talk and rarely see each other. We keep contact enough, though, through the years so that I still consider her dear. I … Continue reading
Light and Dark
See to it, then, that the light inside you is not darkness. Luke 11:35 Several things have happened in the last few weeks that have prompted me to think carefully about the verse above. If you look at the history of Christians, you can see that there have been times when really wrong things have … Continue reading
Oh Hail!
Kansas is known for its tornadoes, Florida for hurricanes… Every place has its perils I suppose. It isn’t a surprise to anyone in southeastern Wyoming when it rains and hails. Hail is a summer fact of life here. Usually, the hail is pea-sized, and you know it is coming because the clouds in the sky … Continue reading
Imaginary Friends
When I was very little, I had two imaginary friends. Their names were Georgie and Boo-Boo, and according to the stories my two older sisters tell, my two friends and I were the source of a great deal of aggravation and embarrassment. It seems I insisted on talking to them, holding doors and waiting for … Continue reading
Worship
I think of myself as a good person. Really, as far as the world goes, I pretty much am. But. Once in a while I am prompted to change my perspective and view myself from above – trying at least to see myself from God’s perspective. Oh dear. Yikes. I’m pretty rotten from the top. … Continue reading
Grow where you are planted.
In my last post I didn’t tell you that when we came back to town from camping with the grand girls and Hillary, we just left our camper there so we could go back up. We left on Tuesday with the intent of staying a week. On Thursday, two friends came up (love you, Branda … Continue reading
Camping…Yes!
I am so blessed. I’ve already told you our son, Sam came out for my retirement party and that we went to Michigan and spent time with our middle daughter, Amy and her family. This week, we had a fun visit from our oldest daughter, Hillary and her two girls. We took them camping – … Continue reading
Gifts from God
The beautiful sisters of a young man in our congregation were visiting at church yesterday morning. They are from out of town, but have come several times, so we were glad to welcome them back. It’s nice to have return visitors to church, certainly, but we always welcome the members of this family with anticipation … Continue reading
Thanks, Mr. Morris!
I’ve been retired for two weeks. Since we went on our trip to Michigan and just got home, I have been at home and on my own for one day. So far, so good. My husband, family and friends made a huge deal for my retirement. My teaching partner, Jennifer, and Karl my husband … Continue reading
God’s Infinite Variety
As a native of Wyoming I have an in-grown appreciation for the beauty of that state. I love the wild freeness of the prairies. Sagebrush dotted rolling hills complete with antelope are beautiful to me. Of course, I love Wyoming’s mountains. As a native, I don’t actually count the Tetons and Jackson. Those are beautiful … Continue reading
