My, it feels good to make a post and not have to change the date to one in the past! Not that there were really that many posts to copy over from LJ, since we were only missing the ones since mid-April of 2015-and in the last couple of years I’ve gone from posting every ( Read more... )

A quick note, since I just noticed that I actually have some followers! :)

We had a little “break” the other day, of a server where this website is, and hence discovered that the backups had stopped working a couple of years ago. Luckily, the cross-posting to LJ kept going, so I’m presently copying the missing posts back into WordPress from LJ.

I’ve been going through some old photos…

It’s been said that this Perspectives course “ruins you for the rest of your life” (or something like that)-in other words, you can never be the same again. You can never continue on as if you didn’t know…

As an alumni, I’m allowed to go to any of the classes for free, plus, it behooves me to go as a marker, at least sometimes. So even if I was ( Read more... )

It’s only natural that as one gets older, one becomes more aware of the importance of some things. For example, young people don’t usually worry too much about their health. But the more we mature, the more we tend to pay attention to a healthy diet, do more exercise, etc.

Similarly, the older you get, the more you feel an urgency to pay attention ( Read more... )

Continuing to pray for Sam’s physical, social, and spiritual health, it is sometimes tempting to just accept the way things are, and not expect that they’ll ever change. That would be the easy way! But it seems like God reminds me to keep praying.

As far as the motion sickness goes, I think we are accepting it… he seems to be just “getting used to ( Read more... )

Better write down these memories! A lot of it will be covered in the photos of course, which is something I still have to go through.

It all started with Rej saying we should have a party for me when I turn 60. Sam latched on to it, saying “Yeah, you never have a party for yourself, we should!” Then it was to decide how/what to do. While listening ( Read more... )

Someday, you’re going to look back and realize, when you think of the myriad special moments… someday, hopefully sooner rather than later, you’re going to think of all the wonders you’ve seen-intricate nature, fascinating science, amazing math-minds, beautiful music… fellowship of friends and family-

Someday, you’re going to realize, that God was ( Read more... )

It would be impossible to make note of every time I come across the word “Love”, for my One Word for this year, so I’ve been trying to decide what to do with it. Even if I listed a Bible verse about love for every day of the year, they would never all be covered!

What I’ve decided, for now anyway, is to note the first reference I come to, each day ( Read more... )

I’ve read over some really neat notes this morning, that I made from a Henri Nouwen article. It’s actually a blog post where I quote myself, talking about people having “sympathy” for us because of Rej and Sam.

And now I’ve written this post just to give you a link to something where I quote something else! Sorry about that, but you know what just ( Read more... )
