Don’t know how I ever found time to blog for 40 plus days during Lent, but it was such a good and healing experience for me. Today I’m sitting down catch up here when I really have a million other obligations awaiting. But I can hardly move this morning after the activity level of the… Read More Catchin’ Up {but not really…}
Decisions: I’m so relieved, but now I’m having trouble sleeping! Last night I kept having crazy college dreams and obsessive thoughts about the logistics of getting Kory to Texas for all of the necessary college activities this summer now that he knows where he will attend. {Lord willing, of course…} Kory was in complete agony… Read More Decisions, Intercessions, Accusations
Well, it’s cold, damp, icy, and grey around here today, and though we’ve had a FEW spring-like days, the BBQ grill is still hibernating in the garage. I can hardly wait to roll it out and start grilling and eating outside, but it feels like that time might never arrive. I’m wearing a sweater and… Read More Gluten Free Friday ~ Maple Ginger Chicken Oven-Kabobs
Mexican food is still my all-time favorite cuisine ~ even after all these years of living in the land of lobster, clam chowder, corn chowder and no Tex-Mex. At a restaurant, I would typically order something like tortilla soup or enchiladas{after eating way too many chips with salsa}, but for at least the last two… Read More Gluten Free Friday ~ Fish Taco Fascination
I’m a day late, but for some reason Blogger wasn’t working last night, and I couldn’t log in to my blog. So, I sat in a chair drinking tea, watching the final episode of “The Bible” with Robert and the kids, and being thankful for the wonderful season of Lent and the great Resurrection Day… Read More Celebrating Together {Resurrection Sunday!}
It is so full and so crazy, but I do so love this week. The Seder on Wednesday night was ~ “so beautiful.” That’s what everyone kept saying, anyway, and I had to agree. The beautiful part goes far beyond the table settings and candles to the number of people gathered to remember the sin,… Read More The In Between Day: Death and Expectation {Lent Day #47}
Happy Good Friday! I have had a busy day already, and now am heading out the door to take Kory to the airport. He’ll be visiting two colleges there that he’s been accepted to, but has never seen. He’s now got only one month left to decide where he’ll go to college in the fall.… Read More Gluten Free Friday ~ Deviled Eggs {Lent Day #46}
So, this is one of the pieces of artwork I got to see while slowly strolling through the Boston Museum of Fine Arts last week. I think the religious artwork is partly why I’m drawn to the European Art section. Some of them are sort of ridiculous and based on unlikely legend, but some of… Read More Thanks and Bread and Betrayal {Lent day #45}
Whole Foods Cashier: {surprised} “Is that horseradish? That’s a lot of horseradish!” Me: {laughing} “Yes, it IS horseradish. And it IS a lot! Whole Foods Cashier: “Do you mind if I ask what you are going to do with all of that horseradish?” I quickly explained that I was making 15 Seder Plates for a… Read More Bitter Roots, Sweet Trees {Lent Day #44}
{Re-posting this today ~ since it’s Passover AND my brother’s birthday. Celebrating him today, and all the Lord has done in his life and his wife’s life ~ and now their life together. They gave exuberant permission to share their story, because it glorifies our Passover Lamb, Jesus ~ and all that He has done… Read More Passover Crimson, Snowfall White ~ Again {Lent Day #43}
