If you can't change it, change the way you think about it. Don't complain.” ― Maya Angelou, Wouldn't Take Nothing for My Journey Now Allergies are driving me crazy. Seems like I have struggled with them since January.  The symptoms seem to change slightly and occasionally I get a week without problems and wham a week in misery.  Ragweed right now but cannot figure out what is in the environment inside our house that may be triggerin...

Your life has everything to do with what you are being. We all seem to get caught up in the "doing" of things every day. I do not believe that is why God has us here. He has in mind a sacred journey with our lives to be and to be more than one thing. We have choices to Be Happy; Be Conten...

No, no. We are free to change. And love changes us. And if we can love one another, we can break open the sky.” ― Walter Mosley, Blue Light I want to hurry through my blog this morning so I can go walk. The temperatures are in the sixties and I want to be out there! We still have a strong wind but it feels good. Terry has  several projects he has attacked and I am hoping they get finished. This morning I started humming my fav song by the Beatles "there are places I r...

Fear won't keep you safe from being hurt.” ― Tiffanie DeBartolo, God-Shaped Hole Yesterday I wrote about Liddle, the Scottish runner from the Paris Olympics years ago...After the Olympics were over he followed his Christian background and retraced his parents journey becoming a missionary in China. At that time WW II was in full force and he ended up in a concentration camp in China with a large number of children from the school and teachers. Thankfully he had sen...

I fully believe we are missing some of the journey the Lord has for us because things get in the way. We have such will and power that we basically run off in several directions at one time. That too is part of our so...

Scott Fitzgerald, This Side of Paradise Well I have been up for an hour and a ha...

We search in reasoning and in sciences, as in a poor copy. What we neglect to see is God's painting Himself in the depth of our soul. Always be with God. Do nothing, say nothing and think nothing which may displease Him. Do this without any other view than purely for the love of Him and because He deserves infinitely more." Brother Lawrence This 2008 painting is entitled MAJESTY because as I painted it I felt the passion and f...

I am not a drinker, but I did like their Cabernet Sauvignon and I am not a red wine drinker at all. I am more into their Dry Riesling. We have been members of their wine club for seven years,...
