Thanksgiving ~ 2007 Posted on November 22, 2007 By pamela I did not cook a turkey today. And only tonight does that feel -so- strange. There is no turkey carcass in a stockpot simmering on the stove tonight. No scent of poultry seasoning – onion – garlic – sage – rosemary and thyme. There’s not even a hint, tonight, that… Read more

Anyway, a couple of… Read more
The irony of children begging for candy Posted on November 3, 2007 By pamela On Wednesday nights we have a Bible study and dinner with friends of ours. It’s something we all very much look forward to each week. This past week was no different – except for the fact that it was halloween [and Reformation Day, too, by the way].

Viewed: The Monstrous Regiment of Women (part 2) Posted on October 22, 2007 By pamela As I watched the Gunn Brothers film, The Monstrous Regiment of Women, I was encouraged or inspired by the courage it took to write and produce the film. It’s quite a risk, in this day and age, to stand for the truth and to make bold statements that will garner… Read more
reserved parking Posted on October 20, 2007 By pamela This might seem to be practically a nothing about nothing post… but, there really is something: loving concern for mothers and babies and new parents.
