Continue reading →: a fellowship of bearing up
I’m sitting her in my PJ’s in a quiet house, waiting for my oatmeal to finish cooking. I pull up my Bible app on my phone and read the verse of the day: Blessed be the Lord, who daily bears us up; God is our salvation.- Psalm 68:19 I chuckle…

Continue reading →: Mixed feelings on 42.
As of today I’m 42. Today is a mixed bag of emotions. The day started at 5:30 AM, which is an hour and a half sleep-in compared to the 4 AM wake up call on workdays. The baby goats are being separated from their mom’s at night to begin…

Continue reading →: Solving the world’s problem’s on the treadmill
I always think out these theological arguments when I jog. It usually starts with seeing buff men and women out there on the gym floor pumping iron while I run like an uncoordinated giraffe on the treadmill. When I look out on a crowd of people, especially people working hard…

Continue reading →: another day in the books
We had farm visitors today! A soap customer and a nurse I used to work with came with their sweet kiddos to check out the baby goats and pick some soap. Of course, the baby kitties were a hit too. Even the chickens drew their attention. I enjoy sharing the…

Continue reading →: Love. Suffering. And the Heart-Stream Turner.
(Old pic, boys have grown a lot in a couple years.) Here it is approaching midnight. I so wanted to sit down and write out some thoughts from today earlier but a neighbor popping in, a child wanting to play cards, a husband not feeling well and soap to be…

Continue reading →: Advent day 1: Believing God’s Promises
It’s almost midnight. Everyone’s asleep. The tree is up. The front porch has lights. And 3 out of 4 Advent candles are on the table. Advent has meant more and more to me over the years. It really is a gift from God that I treasure. It started when Ryland…

Continue reading →: Sunday thoughts and an open letter
It always feels good to sleep in. For me, 6:30 is sleeping in. So when I woke up at 7:15 this morning I felt like I’d slept my life away! But boy did it feel good. The girls were ready for me when I got out to the milking…

Continue reading →: Yeah, I’m sitting here playing
I have been sitting here playing around with my blog. My abandoned blog. Turkey is in the oven. Our turkey is farm-raised, free-range from my neighbor across the alley. I watched her grow. The neighbor did the dirty work and traded me 3 loaves of soap for this beauty of…
