In my reading of Changed Into His Image, the other day, I read this interesting illustration. A better view of wisdom is that of a driver caught in the middle of a traffic snarl. He doesn’t need to know WHY is the road blocked. He doesn’t have to know WHY his car blew a tire. [...]
My sister sent this book to Lee for Christmas. He was telling me about it and I said, “Hey! I found that at the thrift store the other day for .25.” So we are reading it together. We’ve been talking about things we read or illustrations we like when I visit. One illustration we both [...]
I am in charge of our church library. Since it was very much in need of an update, I’ve been weeding out very old books and replacing them with the boxes of donated newer books. One of the books had a familiar title so I quickly peeked through it. The Sword Book of Treasures by [...]
Long ago, I was an early childhood teacher. Sammie was a little spitfire in my class. I wrote this at that time and I’m struck how much this lesson applies to me today. Sammie is a beautiful blond 3 year old in my class. She loves life and has an infectious giggle. Sammie is also [...]

Here’s another entry from my journal. As I was trying to love my husband and be the [...]
I’ve been reading Debbie Macomber’s Knit Together. It’s a great book about goals, trusting the Lord, and inspiration. She throws in lots of knitting stories which is right up my alley! One very cute story was about her grandson. He lined up all his Army men in the sandbox. He had designed his own battle [...]
