At a Snail’s Pace During a recent walk, I noticed a tiny snail, its shell no bigger than a dime. It appeared motionless, but when I knelt down for a zoomed-in photo, I could see its forward progress. Ever so slowly, it traveled, a millimeter at a time, across the sidewalk. Satisfied with my photo,Continue reading “At a Snail’s Pace”

New Beginnings
Happy Monday! It’s the start of a new week, a chance to begin again, to have a better week than the week before.

After 9-11

Working with My Hands
One pastime from which I derive much pleasure is making things with my hands. To take a piece of yarn and make an afghan is very satisfying. It is amazing that a flat piece of fabric becomes a dress, or colored thread makes a beautiful picture. After I finish making something, I take great prideContinue reading “Working with My Hands”
In a Crisis
Here’s your food for thought for today. Have a terrific Tuesday! “It’s one thing to go through a crisis grandly, yet quite another to go through every day glorifying God when there is no witness, no limelight, and no one paying even the remotest attention to us.” Oswald Chambers

Healing What Ails You
Earlier, I caught a nasty virus, the kind that plays havoc with your digestive system. Of course, we were out of town when it hit.

I hadContinue reading “Healing What Ails You”
