There is such a great comfort in belonging to the Lord. I honestly don’t know how people without the Lord even get out of bed in the morning. Sometimes the world just seems to be too much and I want to hide in a hole, but with the Lord I have the strength to crawl out and start again. I …
Superpants and Redheads
This week I wanted to share another lovely writer’s blog. Kim Woodhouse wrote about an intriguing new fashion tradition she’s started and I wanted to share it with you. I mentioned it briefly on facebook, but wanted to make sure that everyone had a chance to see it. There’s some pretty goofy pictures posted in the article. Here’s the website: …
Boxes
I’ve spent some time this week pondering boxes. Why you might ask? Because when I came home from Colorado Springs I had about 20 of them waiting for me. That coupled with my recent studies on the Bible really got me thinking about boxes. Boxes offer a temporary boundary. They can offer protection, storage, hide things – you can use …

Piped Into Dinner
Have you ever been piped into dinner? I have. While in Scotland we enjoyed the honor of being piped into dinner. This tradition has its foundations with the military and there are a great many requirements that go along with the formal presentation. We waited anxiously in the gorgeous lounge area at The Atholl Palace Hotel in Pitlochry, Scotland. Set …
Reflecting on the Past
With so much of death in the news this week, I couldn’t help but reflect on the past–especially when I look at pictures of the ancient cemeteries in Scotland. Cemeteries have always been one of my favorite places to wander. I love the quiet, the beauty and the simplicity of the settings. Even in the midst of large cities, …
I Blame Judy Miller
Okay, so in all seriousness, I wouldn’t have gone to Scotland if Judy Miller hadn’t dragged me there kicking and screaming. 🙂 Well, not exactly, but the trip really was her idea and so I blame her. I mean I wanted to go and spend time with Liz Higgs and see Scotland again, but it was Judy who set the trip …
A Wee Bit of Scotland
I’m back from Scotland, but the photos and memories will continue for some time to come. I was so blessed to get to travel with my dear friend Judy. Judy always keeps me out of trouble as you can see here. I was a little worried about how Scotland would fare with me, Liz Curtis Higgs and Judy all …
