She was relating how the life of a fine young man… Read more
memories and slices Posted on February 15, 2007 By pamela In the wintertime, the sun streams in our bedroom window… and it’s beautiful. Often, I’m transported back to another time — in my mind. When the sun streams in I’m reminded of the mornings in the weeks following the birth of Naomi – our ninth child, born on Christmas Day…. Read more
mothering from the sidelines Posted on February 9, 2007 By pamela It’s a quiet day here in our home – not much different than any other day. Oatmeal, dishes, laundry, scrubbing potties, sweeping, mopping and thinking. I mull over the topics discussed at the monthly “Titus 2” meeting last night.

Posted on February 8, 2007 By pamela No, I did not fall off this great big flat earth, nor did I get lost under the avalanche of laundry created over the weekend, nor did I drown in dishwater or a sea of tears when Timothy went back to school… or while watching Kathryn gather, sort and pack… Read more

Proverbs 30.15-16 Month after month, year after year… on the other… Read more
a glimpse of things to come Posted on January 27, 2007 By pamela (I know… I’m going to change the colour scheme/image here… it’s just a little Valentine’s day indulgence. It’s actually too much for me.) So… Bill Gates says the internet will revolutionize television in the next five years. If we all get programing devoid of advertising and commentary, who’s going to… Read more
The brief change of appearance? I’m thinking about… Posted on January 26, 2007 By pamela anniversaries and valentine’s… flowers and chocolates… music and candlelight… these are a few of my favourite things… I’m just remembering and looking forward to a few of my favourite things… ♪ Raindrops on roses and —O, wait— I NEVER think of whiskers on kittens.
