Adventures in Time and Space
My dad loved science fiction and had many old books. Today I was looking at one of them; a 1954 paperback, “Adventures in Time and Space”. I was also listening to a classical radio station. As I was looking through the book, a selection of Holst, The Planets came on. I always think of my […]
Sharing Encouragement
I do love TobyMac. I saw him in concert many years ago on the side of a mountain during a Christian music festival. The energy of his music is vibrant, and the lyrics are real and uplifting. He went through a very difficult time a couple years ago when his son tragically died. I have […]
Yolanda Renee King
This morning I saw an interview with 17 year old Yolanda Renee King who was in town for an event remembering her grandfather, Martin Luther King Jr. She was incredibly well spoken and her looks even resembled her grandfather. During the interview, she talked about how important it is to choose the option for peace […]
More Coffee Trees
Years ago, my sister who worked at Starbucks got a coffee tree from them. She managed to get some cuttings to root and created several new trees. There are 2 of them in my house, 1 belongs to my sister and 1 to me. Today my sister helped to repot mine and we found out […]
Sister’s Weekend
My sister came today for her birthday weekend. We had fun at the antique shop where she found a beautiful handmade purse with lots of pockets. It was just what she was looking for. Then we went out to lunch. After that we watched the football game. It was a nailbiter all the way through, […]
Stained Glass
As I was visiting a friend today, her daughter-in-law stopped over. She talked about an art class that she’s taking, learning to make stained glass. She told us all about the process, which is more complicated than I imagined. There is a pattern to make, an outline to follow, and sottering involved. I got lost […]
Saint and a Bear
Today I heard a rather humorous story about the saint of the day – Saint Romedio. The church recognizes so many different people as saints, which makes sense since everyone is different. The story goes like this, from the Aleteia website: “St. Romedio lived during the 4th century and was an heir in a wealthy […]
BINGO
I have a friend who loves to go and play BINGO. She and her sister and whoever else wants to will go maybe once a week or so. When I saw her at a get together, a couple of us decided to join them. It has been years since I have gone to play and […]
The Wildlife
I get very excited when I receive a notification from the camera at the cabin – especially when it includes the description “Pet Detected”. Usually I see deer, turkey, fox, or an occasional coyote. Once there was a bear in the driveway attracted by some trash that was left in my brother’s truck. When I […]
Fasching
I listened to an interesting podcast today that talked about the season of Carnevale. Evidently in the history of the church seasons, Advent was a time of fasting leading up to Christmas, as was Lent leading up to Easter. Once the Christmas season ended with the Baptism of Jesus, which we celebrated yesterday, the Carnevale […]
