I found this to be a real eye-opener. Watch: As I listened to the questions she asks at the beginning, I could give a hearty “yes!” to all but the first. People don’t often label me as overly sensitive but I think that’s only because no one knows what’s going on inside of me. I…
A visit from Flat Stanley
A week or so ago I offered to *host* Flat Stanley for the son of a Facebook friend. I’ve done this before and I think it’s fun and a neat project for kids. This particular teacher is only requesting postcards from each host location and not the usual photographs to go along with them. She…
40 days…
Today is Ash Wednesday, the beginning of the season of Lent. This evening, David and I attended church and received the imposition of ashes. I signed up for an online Lenten-themed Bible reading this morning. Last year I gave up negative people for Lent. This year my main focus is a little more complex and…

My Newsletter…
Six years ago, for reasons I cannot recall, I began writing a monthly newsletter. As of the time of this posting I have 264 subscribers (I had to go look as it isn’t something I keep up with), including some of you who read this blog. If you are a subscriber, you can just skip…
Don’t Worry, Be Happy
The sermon at church this morning was based upon a passage from the 6th chapter of Matthew which includes this verse: “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, or about your body, what you will wear.” David and I kept glancing at…
