I’m seeking to carry on this birthday celebration for as long as I can. Why, I just might even name this blog: The Birthday Celebration Blog! But I doubt it. I mean, I think after a while, it would be rather boring to read about someone dancing day after day bcz she loves that she turned *50* — an age she never thought she’d be — and lives to write about it — or writes to live about it. Some of the [...] There has been quite a variety of experiences or special things in this collection of “30 favourite things” — life changing or life-impacting things during my fiftieth year. When I first began writing these entries, I obviously didn’t have a specific plan or order of importance in the posting of these things. They’ve just sort of unfolded — not necessarily even in order of thought… I’ve just written about what’s come to mind on any given day. To have our [...] The Fiftieth Birthday… goes on and on…
It was a wonderful day! In the first photo, I was having a cup of coffee at the Useless Bay Coffee company! Yes! Wes took me and his dear mother on the ferry to Langley where we enjoyed a mocha and a ginger-pear scone! It was perfect and that mocha was the *best* I’ve ever had! ;o) Then, the next photo is the first of a few birthday [...] Like I’ve been saying, I never thought I’d live this long. I’m so glad I was wrong about that and am so grateful to God that He’s given me the life and family He has. I’m grateful for the opportunity of my life. I so want it to mean something and in the end I want it to have been lived well. So, today’s been a sweet day — I’ll post some details and photos soon — but it’s late [...] It’s getting harder to decide which memory or which favourite event to share in this list of “30 Favourite Things of my Fiftieth Year.” I was thinking today that one thing I’m so thankful for in this past year is the realization that time is passing — time has passed. And so, one of my favourite things has been the many times I’ve realized that I might never do this or that thing again and so I’ve made a concerted [...] A little fun… Blog this!

And in our marriage, in our family – parenting – life work… we are humbled at the mercy of God… the greatest gift — the greatest joy — is walking with Him and knowing our children walk in Truth. That they, too learn to walk in faith is answer to prayers — many prayers for each of them from birth. Answered prayer, each [...] American Tea Party Song – Lloyd Marcus The lyrics, copyright Zephyrus Music, are: Mr President! You wanna take from achievers We’re havin’ a tea party across this land So when they [...] Truly, the best cup of coffee I’ve ever had… I guess it was so good that it was worth waiting 50 years. ) Wes took me to the Useless Bay Coffee Co. for that unforgettable, delicious cup of coffee and a scone, too. Though the weather was stormy, the shops were lovely, the atmosphere was delightful, and the ferry ride to Langley was just perfect, too — but not as delicious as that cup of coffee! So… definitely a favourite [...] We have a tradition in our family that began with our firstborn son, Daniel, and we’ve carried it on through the years. Amazingly. Well – I say amazingly bcz it truly is amazing to me that not only did we set about doing this same thing or carrying on this tradition, but that we’ve been able to do it each time an eighteenth birthday comes along. I smile at the coincidence this entry being blog post #18 of 30 Favourite [...] |
 
 End the shame. Protect against childhood sexualabuse. The shame comes from keeping quiet about CSA. Jesus loves us, Jesus heals us.
