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!

basking in the glow of conversation with You… learning the Word 2007 programs… reasons for that job…

November 6, 2009

Well, I set the alarm for 6:00 am, then work just before 5:00 am. I was about to go back to sleep when I heard Your very quiet, still voice asking me to get up then. Of course, physically I hesitated, even mentally and emotionally – but at the same . . . → Read More: basking in the glow of conversation with You… learning the Word 2007 programs… reasons for that job…

more family time… what about our cars? … and our other needs? Papa? … a wonderful answer from You!

Sept 28, 2009

On Saturday evening I put on a pot of oatmeal in the crockpot – and REAL MUSH was ready in the morning. I took it to church-in-the-park, with milk and brown sugar, and oatmeal unbaked (cow patty) cookies. They also made waffles there, but the oatmeal was a big . . . → Read More: more family time… what about our cars? … and our other needs? Papa? … a wonderful answer from You!

a wonderful new bed!

Sept 20, 2009

My son and my son-in-law helped me bring home the Sealy Crown Jewel Collection Correct Comfort Queen mattress set (and of course the pine sleigh bed, head and footboards)…. After doing a lot of googling, I have found that it is the Sealy top-of-the-line… and pretty expensive! We got an . . . → Read More: a wonderful new bed!

Discouragement … and then joy!

Aug 4, 2009

I can’t think these days… I am so tired…. think these hot nights (and smoky air) are not good for me…

Or maybe I’m just stressed… lost… bewildered… confused  (as Pastor J said this morning… confusion doesn’t come from You, Papa… oh no…)

This morning F asked, “So you . . . → Read More: Discouragement … and then joy!

My thoughts about “The End of Religion” by B. Cavey

May 14, 2009 (again)

A friend of mine loaned me a book, The End of Religion, by Bruxy Cavey.  Although I didn’t agree with totally everything in the book, there was a lot of stuff that I thought was really worth reading and considering… and so I sent an email to some of my friends whom I . . . → Read More: My thoughts about “The End of Religion” by B.

You do answer prayer!

March 9, 2009

One of my children was going through a very difficult time today.  Hubby and I were praying about it, and I was being so attacked by the enemy, to the tune that God so often h asn’t answered my prayers for my kids, and that He won’t this time either, and that my child . . . → Read More: You do answer prayer!

Schooling/ education … disconnects… questioning… truth… wisdom… joy!

January 29 (yes, again…)

Here’s something I’m wondering about… is there some connection between “self actualization” (and self-esteem, etc etc etc) and “assessment for – and as – learning” and “positive formative assessment” (the goal of the latter apparently being to create a self-motivated, self-monitoring, self-managing, self-efficacy, internal locus of control and self-motivation type learner?  (lots of . . . → Read More: Schooling/ education … disconnects… questioning… truth… wisdom… joy!

Jehovah Jireh, my provider! … and Penticton Pedestrian: Gifts instead of sales!

December 20 (still more)

Sewed buttons on hubby’s Haida button vest.  Finished the first “Haida” heart… and worked on the second one.  Set up hubby’s Facebook:  lots of people are signing on as friends!  Yay!  Finished my son’s cookbooks.

I went with my son to the mall, and he bought me a book on Haida Gwaii with beautiful . . . → Read More: Jehovah Jireh, my provider! … and Penticton Pedestrian: Gifts instead of sales!
