epiphany: ah-ha moment! Novel Under Construction!

May 13, 2010

(In case this seems a bit scattered – you have to understand that I wrote most of it between 3:15 and 4:00 am … but after some more sleep, and some serious thinking, and research, and reflection… I am going with it!)

I just woke up with an epiphany – that’s an . . . → Read More: epiphany: ah-ha moment! Novel Under Construction!

being afraid… or letting You sweep me out into the depths of You!

10 May 2010

Oh, Papa! I just can’t go on like this!

I’m afraid!

I feel like somehow I’m getting way too far from where You want me.

Or maybe I’m just getting into deep water and fear that I’m going to be swept away.

I remember when I was a child, maybe 9 years old or so, and my . . . → Read More: being afraid… or letting You sweep me out into the depths of You!

centered on You

chatting with Father: fear of God?

May 6, 2010

Reading (or at least skimming) through my blogs while putting in real links in past postings has been interesting – and has helped to bring my focus back to You, Father. It’s really where I belong, no matter what I write about. You at my core!

When I was talking with You this . . . → Read More: chatting with Father: fear of God?

reactions and questions… from reading “The Misunderstood God” book

April 25, 2010

Well, here I am sitting just inside the front screen (okay, glass) door, soaking up the morning sun. It’s a bit cooler outside than it appears – it was 1 C at 7 am this morning. But I am enjoying the warmth and light through the door – and enjoying my neighbours’ . . . → Read More: reactions and questions… from reading “The Misunderstood God” book

leaving behind a legacy of life lived in joyful abandon to you

April 10, 2010

This morning I read an article (“Legacy of a Love Story” by B Callaway, in Servant magazine, issue 84), about Andrew and Maria Kirk, whose son, Fergus, was one of the founders of Prairie Bible Institute in Three Hills, Alberta. It was a story of love, tragedies and sacrifices, simple living, family – . . . → Read More: leaving behind a legacy of life lived in joyful abandon to you

My God and I … belief in Who rather than in what

4 April 2010

Woke up at 3:30 am, humming a song I haven’t heard in years, but which I understand, in a personal way, far more now than I did in the past.

My God And I

My God and I go in the field together;
We walk and talk as good friends should and do;
We clasp our hands, . . . → Read More: My God and I … belief in Who rather than in what

Good Friday… or rather, Joyous Resurrection!

April 2, 2010

It’s Good Friday… and outside, a bleak, gray, windy, chilly, sometimes splattery day. Perhaps the weather is appropriate for a day that many set aside for remembering perhaps the darkest moment in mankind’s history. And yet – it is “Good” because without that dark moment there would be no resurrection – and . . . → Read More: Good Friday… or rather, Joyous Resurrection!

WONDERFUL DAY! … TAKING THE PLUNGE! … STREET BREAKFAST MENUS…

March 18, 2010

Sitting – for the first time, finally! – on my super-comfortable pine Adirondack chair (made by my wonderful daughter) on the back patio of our townhouse which we moved into in October! And soaking up the beautiful spring sunshine…

Intentional day of rest… following my heart… de-facebooking…

INTENTIONAL DAY OF REST, FOLLOWING MY HEART, DE-FACEBOOKING…

March 14, 2010

After I came home this morning from street church, I was reading a “secular-ish” article (maybe a zen-ish type article, lol !?!). Anyway, it was lauding the attributes of an intentional day of rest – so I decided to start (again) today.
