Bible-reading-struggles… and school, church and other questions…

April 6, 2009

I’m wishing to get started again on my family stories, photo scanning, blogging, going to coffee times, visiting friends… must be starting to feel better (even if my back is still sore).

I’ve been kind of struggling with my Bible read-through… maybe because my daily reads have been . . . → Read More: Bible-reading-struggles… and school, church and other questions…

catching up…. odds ‘n ends

March 31, 2009 (again)

So I typed the blogs-to-date and posted them. Then went to pay three bills at three locations. Home, and uploaded another set of pictures while writing another long family story on M-Word… then did the edit-copy thing, went to the family story site, clicked on edit-paste – and what . . . → Read More: catching up…. odds ‘n ends

You love me unconditionally? Just as I am?

March 23, 2009

Well, I was so tired yesterday afternoon that I didn’t do much of anything.

But I was also relaxed, relieved, and happy. When I first read that blog I was so perturbed… wishing I could be there already – just content – even joyful! wow! – to be the child . . . → Read More: You love me unconditionally? Just as I am?

“salvation” thoughts… church… and distractions… and loneliness in the city…

March 16, 2009

Reading Psalm 71… In this Psalm, the king of Israel’s purpose includes to receive from God His judgments and His righteousness, and then in turn judge God’s people with righteousness and bring about abundance of peace… and to have compassion on the poor and needy and afflicted, rescuing them from oppression and violence, delivering . . . → Read More: “salvation” thoughts… church… and distractions… and loneliness in the city…

hmmm… dirty electricity testing…

January 8

My beautiful white world is so quickly melting away – puddles everywhere.  At least not major flooding (though minor flooding along sidewalks and intersections) here – but evacuation-worthy flooding at some coastal spots.  Please be with them, Lord.  Thank You!

Yesterday I did a bit mor research on “dirty electricity” and realized it’s not just the . . . → Read More: hmmm… dirty electricity testing…

Changes in culture, traditions, beliefs… the life of the people…

This morning on the Vancouver news there was an item about a Sikh temple where moderates and conservatives are having a difference of opinion of whether or not to allow tables and chairs in the dining area, to keep the new ways that have crept in, or go back to the old ways with their deep . . . → Read More: Changes in culture, traditions, beliefs… the life of the people…

Still praying for them… after all these years

Dear Heavenly Father…  When I read the Facebook postings of all those kids who were my students, or were friends of my kids, or whatever, and I think of how many time I have prayed for them and sought Your face on their behalf:  dear God, oh, please do Your great work in their lives!  Thank . . . → Read More: Still praying for them… after all these years

Mountaintop living – and moving on

September 21, 2008 Lately I’ve been a bit “worried” that life for me has been so simple… though I do think part of it is that I’m just a lot more relaxed and trusting in You and not planning ahead and not being driven by my personal big hopes and expectations… but it true that . . . → Read More: Mountaintop living – and moving on

It’s not fair! and other “wonderings”

September 18, 2008

In Job 21, Job complains that contrary to what his friends have been claiming, the wicked often DO prosper and have happy families, etc.  And if God passes their punishment to their children, he asks, wouldn’t it be better to punish the wicked man himself?

Then I read Psalm 140, and David is asking God . . . → Read More: It’s not fair! and other “wonderings”

Getting back to normal, whatever that is!

Well, it’s great to be back home, and getting back to normal – whatever that is!  Summer is over, and for most of my life that’s meant time for school to start…  for my parents who were teachers, for myself as a student and then as a teacher, for my kids, or for all of the . . . → Read More: Getting back to normal, whatever that is!
