At a Snail’s Pace

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 Step with the Spirit

Good Monday morning! Today’s scripture is short and seemingly simple. The King James versions says, “If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.” So, what is one thing you do to make sure you “stay in step with the Spirit” or “walk in the Spirit”?

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. During our granddaughter’s dance competition, we sat in the balcony watching so many beautiful dancers. While waiting for her solos, it hit hard. The closest bathroom was upstairs. I hadContinue reading “Healing What Ails You”
