Clouds
I have always had a fascination with clouds. Most of my childhood was spent in Texas, which for the most part is F-L-A-T, so the only thing to look at is that big-a$$ sky, which stretches for miles and miles. When I got my first camera, I took tons and tons of rolls of pictures of the sky and clouds and sunsets. I guess clouds have always kind ( Read more... ) -
Find the Positive!
writtenoutloud has a wonderful verse and devotional on her post this morning that deals with the hard stuff that comes at us in life and being grateful that God is there to walk with us through it, and it made me think of this wonderful poem by Robert Frost. I was first introduced to it in the book (and later, movie) "The Outsiders." It's always stuck with me ( Read more... ) -

Day 11- Another picture of you and your friends
This picture is not very flattering, but I picked it because I was so happy here. This is a pic of those of us that attended The Journey Retreat at a church I attended in College Station.

My Christmas "Thank You" List
... instead of a Christmas "Wish" List.
I was thinking today that, though we are sacrificing buying each other gifts and mailing gifts to our nieces and nephews, we really are lucky compared to a lot of people, in that our not having any money around Christmas time is only affecting us for the most part. So, Thank You, God, for:

Finding the Positive!
I just finished figuring out how we're going to catch up on some bills (again). We have a lot of weeks where we end up doing that, and inevitably, I spend an hour or two juggling numbers, adding, subtracting (LOTS of subtracting), and so on, to try to balance the books and not get our electricity turned off. Anyway, this time, as I was finishing, I ( Read more... ) -

Book Recommendation, Tom's Procedure & Day-to-Day Stuff
Book Recommendation
For those of you searching for an author of romance novels that sways toward the religious way of thinking, you might try out Catherine Anderson. I just read "Sun Kissed," and I really enjoyed it. It's about a modern woman, and she's divorced, so she's not exactly new to the world of romance, but she feels strongly about her ( Read more... )
