During each Sunday morning worship service in our Presbyterian church we participate in something called, “Passing the peace”. It might appear to be simply a time for greetings and fellowship but it really is something more. As we share the traditional greeting, “The peace of Christ be with you” and hear the response, “and also…
101 in 1001…
101 Things to do in 1001 Days Project The Mission: Complete 101 things in 1001 days. The Criteria: Tasks must be specific (ie. no ambiguity in the wording) with a result that is either measurable, or clearly defined.

A Day in My Life…
I keep meaning to do this once in awhile so here goes: 5:15 — The alarm goes off way too early for my taste. David has to fly out this morning for a short business trip. He hits the snooze button and we snuggle for five more minutes.5:20 — David gets up and showers while…
Running With Scissors…A Cautionary Tale
Historically, little boys have dreamed of becoming fire fighters or cowboys while little girls envisioned themselves as nurses or teachers. What is not often acknowledged, however, is the virtually universal career ambition among the preschool set. Show me a four year old and I will show you a budding hair stylist. If you have had…

The Farmer’s Wife
Several years ago, PBS aired a riveting documentary about a young, Nebraska farm family. “The Farmer’s Wife” is one of those rare television experiences that captures your heart and soul — truly unforgettable. I just happened to catch the first episode and was immediately captivated by it. I ended up being able to record the…
Sense of Accomplishment
Ah, the joy of a task completed…and one that is visible to others! I have worked off and on all day cleaning the patio which adjoins the flower bed I weeded and mulched earlier. It has been quite hot today so I have had to take it in spurts but it’s done! Lots of leaves…
