  • Living House

    “Imagine yourself as a living house. God comes in to rebuild that house. At first, perhaps you can understand what He is doing. He is getting the drains right and stopping the leaks in the roof and so on: you know that those jobs needed doing and so you are not surprised.” (The house seems…

  • Time out for Marriage: Or Things To Remember

    My husband has a tiny scar beneath his left eye that is the only visible reminder of his run-in with the chicken pox at age 6. I love that scar. I remember falling in love with that scar some 8 years ago now-as well as the rest of him. As I was laying in bed…

  • Fall Nesting

    What is it about fall that makes for such a wonderful season? Cool air and short days that make you feel more able to curl up indoors with a great book? The smell of freshly fallen leaves, the inside of a pumpkin set for carving, or a pumpkin spice latte or hot apple cider? The…

  • Dear Birthday Boy,

    My Dearest A, Do you know that you were born into this world 6 years ago today? And that I remember your first breath? That I memorized the sound of your first cry and the feel of your tiny finger when it reached for mine? Did you know that it has been you and me,…

  • Calorie Free Apple Pie

    After my last post, several readers asked me to post my apple pie recipe. Thank you for asking! The best thing about this recipe is that there are NO CALORIES in it! Seriously! When it comes to apple pie in the fall, calories don’t count! I am pretty sure it is in the gospel somewhere.…

  • It’s a Beautiful Day

    source Top Ten Reasons Today is a Beautiful Day: 1. My headache went away before noon. 2. At noon, I went to the farmers’ market and bought the first Macintosh apples of the fall to make an apple pie. 3. That means that at 6 p.m. tonight, I will be barefoot and pregnant, in the…

  • Hanging in There

    Thank you so much to everyone who reached out to me the past week to see how/where I have been. I would be happy to report that my nausea started to let up some in the past few weeks, but sadly the nausea was replaced immediately by migraine headaches of a wicked severity-of course, including…

  • Ordinary Acts of Kindness

    I am so excited to announce the following two ideas! Before the announcements, a “brief” aside: I have written before that I started this blog at a time in my life where I was craving something MORE. I wanted a place where I could record the little, simple, beautiful things in everyday life that otherwise…

  • House on a Rock

    “Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock. “…
