July 20, 2010 I am amazed and blown away by how simple my life seems to be these days! And yet I can’t help but also think that not worrying, but instead trusting in You (oh thank You, Lord, for teaching me to trust!) has truly made things so much easier for me. I just don’t get in a . . . → Read More: my amazing simple life, Father! July 20 (looking back to July 9 and 10) Oh no! It’s happened again! Here it is July 20, and I haven’t posted since July 9. Actually, I’ve done a lot of posting over on my My Church Journey blog, and been involved in a number of conversations on other blogs, but somehow time has . . . → Read More: catching up … and wonderings (again) 1 July 2010 I was discouraged today because I have felt that almost no one is responding to my writing, especially my writing that is related to You. And I am feeling quite alone in regards to coming out of “structural/ institutional” church, at least here in this community. And then I was just sitting . . . → Read More: small to men, great to God 1 June 2010 More from 66 Love Letters by Larry Crabb. I’ve made all those notes for my “business” … now I feel that I must – I am compelled – to go back through them and see (and record) them in terms of You at the center – Your holiness, Your love, Your purpose. The 66 . . . → Read More: looking out for myself when I think I’m living for You… 30 May 2010 66 Love Letters by Larry Crabb. “That early morning I saw myself as I really am, a mere Christian, a hungry follower of Jesus who desperately wants to hear whatever God is telling me, a man [woman!] in misery who wants only one thing, not relief from misery (although that would be nice), . . . → Read More: found my core!!! May 22, 2010 Sometimes it is better to be a bit flexible rather than totally stuck to a schedule (no matter what the wise men say!)

The sun is rising and the sky is blue! The leaves on the tree in the back yard look like they are enthusiastically waving hello to the rising sun! The air is so clear, and the many variegated greens of trees and grass and plant life of all descriptions are . . . → Read More: good morning, Papa! 19 May 2010 What an adventurous day! First hubby comes home and announces he is leaving his job – and then he gets an interview for another one in just a couple days – and some on-call work tonight with promise of lots more… And so I helped him find his old resumes and update . . . → Read More: a very adventurous day! 18 May 2010 What do you expect from your “devotions” or your “time with Father” or whatever you call your focused time with God? Prayer … Bible study … spiritual enlightenment? How about some pretty direct “direction” about your business? I tend to think that God maybe kind of drops incidents and information and such in our . . . → Read More: a very unexpected conversation with Father May 17, 2010 New next-door neighbours moved in over the weekend.
