Fresh Mercies

July 9, 2012

It's going to be one of those weeks - the busy kind. The kind that have you meeting yourself coming and going. The kind where you hit yourself in the head for being a procrastinator. The kind where you have to make a list every single day to make sure you don't forget to do each very important thing…

Create!

August 31, 2011

Oh yes, I am a huge fan of Pinterest, no doubt. LOTs of great inspiration to be found. But when I find myself doing more pinning than creating, that's when I have to step back a bit. Somebody has to create that next awesome 5 ingredient casserole recipe, or try that fabulous art journaling technique…

Savor the Summer!

July 23, 2011

It's the weekend - what'cha got planned?

Will you play in the water,

or play in the sand...?

Or lie in meadow, gazing at the sky

pretending you're a butterfly, flying up high...?

Will you open a paint box

and make a glorious mess...?

Or color outside the lines

without one ounce of stress...?

Will you scale…

Don't Worry...Pray!

June 23, 2011

(click image to enlarge)

Many thanks friends for your prayers as the Dyer Mill wildfire burned a few miles north of our home near Plantersville, TX. I am happy to report that we had a glorious, slow moving, soaking rain yesterday (first one in months) which helped the fire situation immensely. Though…

A Little Piece of Quiet

May 1, 2011

Hey Y'all...

I'm at that strange, quiet place between projects...

You know the one...the time when you have a gazillion things you need to, but you just finished something kinda major and want to just enjoy a bit of nothingness...a little "piece of quiet"...

I think that's appropriate for a Sunday, do…

Warm thoughts...

January 12, 2011

...for a COLD day...

______________________________

A cup or two to warm you,

Precious hands to hold...

Bunny slippers on your feet

for when your toes are cold...

Lots of layers over you

when outside you must go...

And God's Love deep within your heart

warming others that you know.

May His Love warm you throu…

Hibernating in Summer

August 19, 2010

Formula for "Summer Hibernation":

99 degrees and 95% humidity

Yes, it is hot and humid here in the Houston area, and if you're like me, the relentless muggy heat drives you indoors for keeps, and like Winter in parts North, one turns to indoor activities to pass the days.

So, I've been snuggled up at t…

50 by Fifty: One Step Forward, Two Steps Back

July 10, 2010

Boy, have I been putting off this post! In case you're new to 50 by Fifty, I gave myself a challenge to lose 50 pounds in a year (average 1 pound per week)...by my 50th birthday to be exact.

Set Me Free

Sometimes...

April 15, 2010

...I just have to post random images...

...because I don't want to look at my almost 1 week old post for one more second...

...and I don't really have anything to report or say at the moment...

...so I'll just let the images say a few things...

...about what makes me smile...

...and what gives me hope...

Good Friday & 50 by Fifty

April 2, 2010

We have a small dogwood tree growing on our property, and it is in full bloom now. I have always loved dogwoods...their blooms are so beautiful and showy in the Spring. I also love the Legend of the Dogwood, which tells of the symbolism of the tree and its blooms as it relates to Christ's crucificti…
