Well, I think I’m ready to write about my trip to San Francisco, now.. Because it was such a monumental experience, that I’m afraid if I don’t get busy and write about it, it will fade into oblivion. This trip was originally planned strictly for pleasure, but (thank Him!) God’s ways are not my ways, …
So much has happened that I really want to post about, and each deserves a separate post. I had a vacation with some of my very best gal pals in San Francisco. I spent several days just being with a friend who is mourning the loss of her 19 year old dear son. I watched …
So, as I was saying,(please see the prior blog entry of the Girl Scout Camping Extravaganza) Jennifer comes in the tent and says, “Gary (the site director says that the road into camp is flooded. No one can get out, and no one can get in. He says that the Army Corps of Engineers is …
Have you ever had a deep sense of foreboding about something coming up, and then as events begin to unfold, you found out that it was so much worse than you ever dreamed it would be? (If I were writing this on the Sonlight Forums, I would have just used the emoticon of the little …

I want to extend my deepest sympathies to a friend from the Sonlight forums who lost her husband to a cardiac arrest yesterday. My heart is broken for you. You have been on my mind all day yesterday since I heard you were at the hospital, and all day today as I learned the news …
Maybe death really does come in threes. Our story begins back in Athens, GA, in 1977, and not when Harry met Sally, but when the Big Bison met Tracy, while both were attending the University of Georgia. Tracy, our dear faithful friend through the years, who ended up being the best man at our wedding. …
I have a dear friend, and her name is Big Nance. We’ve been friends from our first class together in graduate school. We bonded as we laughed ourselves silly over the inanity of a particular professor of a statistics course we were taking. He was a professor in the Counseling department, and teaching statistics was …
Does anyone remember that tea? It used to be one of my Mom’s favorites treats: a cup of Constant Comment tea. All orange and cinnamon-y. Lovely. I can still smell it in my memory’s olfactory system – the nose of my mind. Today, dear reader, it’s up to you. I know you’re out there. Reading. …
Slab o’ Humble Pie, Anyone? I think you’ll find the Crow is excellent, today, Madame. After all my bragging about good food, I think I better take myself down a peg or two, in the interests of God not doing it for me. You know Scripture says that God opposes the proud, but gives grace …
When you’ve been on the planet as long as I have, certain puzzle pieces begin to start clicking into place. One piece that has recently slipped into place for me is that life is full of green pastures where we get to lie down and quiet waters where we are led, as well as times …
Wow! Friday was a big day for me! First, it was my birthday I celebrated it by going to my wonderful Ladies Bible Study group where we are doing the Beth Moore study on the Psalms of Ascent, called Stepping Up. What a sweet group of ladies!!! I even took my dear daughter with me, …
Since I use a homeschooling curriculum that I purchased from a company called “Sonlight Curriculum”, I also began reading their online forums when I first started schooling my son at home ten years ago. Sonlight is a terrific company, by the way, and I would highly recommend it to anyone who might be considering homeschooling …
or: Breaking Bread with Mr. Billy, Mr. Billy’s Beagles, and the Bunnies I’m going to make a stab at retelling a story that is the stuff of legends. Once again, I did not personally witness the event that I am about to recount, but I first heard the story from one of the guys it …
You know, really, the better title for this post might be “What Was I THINKIN”???” Actually, I know what I was thinking. I was thinking that they were all so CUTE!!! All 11 of those little yellow Labrador puppies!!! Just lined up, standing up, with their front paws resting on top of the chicken wire …
