Autumn’s in the air… Posted on August 27, 2012 By pamela Each morning I walk around our yard and garden to pray, to sing and to see the changes, the growth and produce each day brings. And then each evening seems to be the time I walk around our yard and garden in much the same manner… only the mood and… Read more
Untangling the wwWeb – part two Posted on July 16, 2012 By pamela This is “part two” of the previous post by the same name — you can read it here.

Untangling the wwWeb Posted on July 16, 2012 By pamela Untangling from an internet bound life is sort of like limiting coffee consumption (but worse. so much worse). You might not even know you’re addicted to caffeine until you attempt to go without it for a day — or, okay, a morning without it. And then, if you’re addicted, you… Read more
So you’re addicted. Now, what? Posted on June 18, 2012 By pamela When the day of my turning point came, I wouldn’t have been more stunned had a wrecking ball come swinging into my kitchen window.

Things happen; and life goes on. Posted on June 12, 2012June 12, 2012 By pamela I thought I’d sort of continue on from where I left off yesterday (and then life goes on).

Savouring the Moments Posted on May 21, 2012 By pamela The symphony of birds, buds and blossoms along with the soft greens seem to sing, Springtime’s here; another season’s underway! With the passing of time, the Lord is teaching me to savour the moments, to watch for the signs of the seasons. I can’t really recall if , or what,… Read more
Opportunities Come and Go Posted on April 16, 2012 By pamela I mull over this phrase from time to time as I consider the many opportunities I’ve had, the many opportunities I’ve botched and the many opportunities I’ve either missed or passed up through the years. The missed and passed up opportunities have probably hounded me as much or more than… Read more
Daffodils… an encouraging story Posted on April 7, 2012 By pamela A Story to bless you today: Several times my daughter had telephoned to say, “Mother, you must come to see the daffodils before they are over.” I wanted to go, but it was a two-hour drive from Laguna to Lake Arrowhead “I will come next Tuesday”, I promised a little… Read more
another birthday… Posted on March 14, 2012March 14, 2012 By pamela Another birthday for one of our children. Another day to reflect on the many blessings, provisions and calling of the Lord on this son’s life — the golden child, the brothers and sisters call him. We all have a smile when someone says this or refers to him in… Read more
