“Don’t get attached to any one word. You can substitute ‘Christ’ for presence, if that is more meaningful to you. Christ is your God-essence or the Self, as it is sometimes called in the East. The only difference between Christ and presence is that Christ refers to your indwelling divinity regardless of whether you are [...]
Today is our last marriage seminar at the prison. I’m looking forward to a great day spending time with my husband. If you’d like to pray, please pray that we will be open to whatever God wants to show us. I also am having a little pain in my back and I’m praying that I [...]
I have written about Mary & Martha in the past. Here is one post. I have revisited my thoughts about these sisters recently. This period of my life has put me in a “forced Mary situation.” I firmly believe that we are called to serve and that we should take opportunities to help others. Yes, [...]
What a wonderful blessing that spring has arrived. I was practicing with my camera the other day and discovered that the lilacs will be blooming soon. We had homeschool park day today. The children soaked up the sun and fresh air and the moms reveled in the fact that winter seems to be behind [...]

I’ve been enjoying this site for historical photos. Everyday they post a photo or two. The one tonight was too cute so I’m linking it.

When I picked James up, my brother in law said, “You are doing an excellent job with that young man’s reading.” WOW! That felt so good. Of [...]
