With the grounding of no T.V. and computer, I must say the house is pretty quiet. In the background, is a chirping fire alarm that is too high for us to reach. It is at the highest point of our … Continue reading →

Argggggggggggggggggggggg! I was never one to be overwhelmed. Never. My plate was always really full and I thrived on it. Today, my doctor appointment was cancelled which meant I have 2 hours to come home and tackle this disaster zone. … Continue reading →

I had an interesting conversation with my sister-in-law this weekend. We were chatting about her job (she is an architect) and has been discontent with her job for a while. So we often chat about what she can do to … Continue reading →

The dogs are in training. Invisible Fencing Training. They are smart. They got shocked once. That is all it took. Hummmm… I wonder if I am on to something. Collars… names on them… Sammy, Tyler, Jordan, Max, Zach and Josh… … Continue reading →

Today I dropped by the school to take care of a few things. As I was walking out of the office, I see Josh standing against the wall with his teacher talking to him. He sees me. Darn. He is … Continue reading →

Have you ever had a perfect day? For me, that entails great weather, being with people I love and being part of something awesome. A perfect day comes with its drama… but that only adds to the mix. One of … Continue reading →

Tonight I went out into the dark, cold, windy, rainy night to hear a real published author speak. Lawrence Hill, author of The Book of Negroes was at Trent University. I was taken by the normalness of him. I want … Continue reading →

It is Thursday, 10:00 p.m. and I really should be closing my eyes and going to sleep. Tomorrow is a big day… I’ll blog it tomorrow… but it is one of my favorite Rhema events. I have a lot to … Continue reading →

This is how God reaches me. I just posted my blog about me being lost in blackness. I didn’t write about how lost I am feeling. LOST. I need to feel God is there for me. I NEED TO FEEL … Continue reading →
