Moving

Well I’ve had this blog on WordPress for awhile, and I think I’ll take it back to Blogger.
I miss all the things Blogger lets you do. Especially the widgets, and most especially the HTML widgets. Ya know, a calendar and a blog roll just isn’t enough for me. And most of all …I miss being [...]

How To Avoid Lugging In Heavy Things On Ice And Snow

I live in COLD country. We have long, hard winters. A lot of snow, and a lot of cold. So today I went out for my annual stock-up. The goal is to not have to go out much in January and February. Especially for bulky or heavy things like paper towels, canned goods, laundry detergent, [...]

Another Light Coming

I see the light again.
Thirty four years ago, the Lord brought me through the “born again” experience. At the time, I struggled heavily with depression. So I asked him if he had anything that could bring joy into my life. And shortly after, someone gave me the book, “The Late Great Planet Earth,” by Hal [...]

Preventing A Blogging Disaster

A blogging friend of mine had a blog disaster. Someone hacked into his computer and was able to “see” as he typed in his username and password, and then that low life was somehow able to get in and disable my friend’s blog. Now my friend can’t get into it at all, and had to abandon [...]

Hidden Places

I received an email this morning from a brother in the Lord, who’s intent was to tell me I’m wrong in what I do, or the way I do it.
A couple interesting things happened as a result.
Of course, the human reaction to something like this is always going to be anger, and that’s what I [...]

Why Is It…

Why are most swear words directed toward God?
Even in everyday plain talk you hear “oh God!”
or “oh my God!”
A person gets irritated and says, “Jesus Christ!”
I’ve never heard anyone say, “oh Buddha!”
Or “oh Allah!”
What is it about the name of Jesus? Think about it.
There’s one avowed enemy of Jesus Christ who takes pleasure
every time the [...]

Each One Is Unique In The Universe

I’ve been working hard to get my graphics blog up and running. As I was creating the posts, it occurred to me what an awesome process it has been. And my God has created this whole story, so I need to bring to him the credit due him.
The very beginning of the story was a [...]

Winter -The Price Is Worth It

I wish someone would inform Al Gore that we’ve had 103 inches of “global warming” this winter, which is more than double the “average” snowfall for Maine in a typical year. And we’re getting another foot of snow tonight! Yes, I know, polar bears are dying in the arctic because of melting ice floes –well [...]

Sowing And Reaping

Well it’s been awhile since I got started on this journal. That’s because I’ve been slaving over a project, and I do mean slaving, boy what a lot of work! Someone emailed me asking why I have so many blogs and I realized that’s confusing to some, so I decided to create a Home blog, [...]

My Pet Peeves

As I contemplate how deeply I want to go with this blog, one thing becomes clear to me, and that is that I must talk about the negatives as well as the positives.
Well today I’m going to express a couple of my pet peeves. These have been lingering in my mind in the shower, or [...]

A Christmas Story

When I surrendered my life to the Lord many years ago, He demonstrated his great love and his power by setting me free from something that had kept me in bondage for years. The gratitude I felt was beyond my ability to describe. And he began in me a work which would slowly, but surely, [...]

A New Thing On My Birthday

For a long time it had been on my heart to begin a prayer group in the 50-apartment building where I live. I had a lot of reservations about it – I don’t have “people skills” for one. It all depended on what I focused on. If I focused on my inabilities, forget it, it’s [...]
