How I entertained my children when they were young :)…

Now these photos were taken with a REALLY OLD “JamCam” digital camera. I know they are very poor, comparatively speaking, but this is from about eight years ago give or take and was done for fun! It’s not about great art, it’s about laughs. This was Stogner babies story time in the raw!

Neighbors and grains of sand

There should be a warning label inserted here because this is going to be cerebral and deep. Just FYI!

Ken Gire has written so much that I have felt I think subtly at the edges [...]

Arresting April’s Attention

           I found a new book that I am working slowly through and chewing up bit by bit. Ken Gire wrote The Reflective Life (Chariot Victor Publishing, ’98). It has absolutely stopped me cold in my tracks and given me so much to think about that I have been literally in the first chapter for three [...]

Scifi just keeps getting weirder for me…

Ruth Graham and something powerful

I don’t usually do what I am about to do here in a blog, but I had to share this link. I watched the webcast I am posting here and it really struck my heart in a powerful way. I hope there are others who will watch and be blessed. Click or post the link [...]

Talking with Mathew…

Mat and I finally had the talk I have waited forever to have. The ’what is grace’ conversation finally happened. We were driving to school as usual and listening to the radio and chatting. Benny Hester’s song “When God Ran” came on and I knew the opening verse talking about how big and great and [...]

It was taught to me that according to sociologists and psychologists Christian and secular that we need 10-12 loving touches a day to remain balanced! Explains a lot about society doesn’t it! Here’s [...]

Save your words
There’s nothing you could say
To take this pain away
Don’t try so [...]

Well, it happened a few thousand years ago, but Someone I love was the one on trial. My husband and I were driving by a church this week and we read a sign that said, “The victim of Good Friday [...]

Where I find healing…

Thursday, March 20, 2008

 
The pine and oak were calling me home
The dogwoods and daffodils blooming for spring
 I had to go back to where I belong
I need to spend some time healing
 
So I drove all day to be with you
I’d do it all over again
To be where you are for a moment
I just needed my best [...]
