Pretty sure I’m not alone in letting the house go a bit in the last two months. My routine evaporated when I realized no one would be coming to visit. Funny how viewing our house through someone else’s eyes makes us see things we can easily ignore otherwise. Today, I am working up the courage to ask God to help me see my heart through His eyes. I’ve been having fun lately taking close-up pictures. Seeing the delicate design of a daffodil is thrilling. A close-up picture of my hallway rug, ...

Are you using the right filters?
One of the things I’ve been doing with this recent freed-up time is taking an online photography class. I’m having fun playing with different settings and perspectives and then editing with filters. I love how the whole mood of a picture can change from light and airy to dark and ominous with a single finger tap.

I don’t wait well
Pretty sure this is not my first post on this subject. I have never been a patient waiter. I actually was a waitRESS at one time, but even then, I was more like a waitrestless.

God doesn’t do triage
We listen in shock to reports of medical personnel forced to assign degrees of urgency, deciding the order In which people will be seen and treated. Or not. God doesn’t do triage. The cry of a young mom overwhelmed by the chaos of children who are normally in school is not pushed aside while God listens to the prayer of a child in a hospital bed separated from his family. Jesus breathed His last and “At that moment the curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom.” (Matthew ... Read More about God doesn’t do triage
Ever feel guilty when you need to be alone?
Hubby and I are camping with three other couples in one of the most beautiful spots on God’s green earth…Door County, Wisconsin. The trees are just starting to turn, with bright pops of red and orange amid the rich dark green. On Tuesday we had lunch at a favorite tourist spot, Al Johnson’s Swedish restaurant. Besides being famous for scrumptious Swedish meatballs, pancakes, and lingonberries, the restaurant is known as the place with the goats on the roof. Yep, goats. A couple of them laze and ...
