Psalm 62 My Soul Waits for God Alone To the choirmaster: according to Jeduthun. A Psalm of David. For God alone my soul waits in silence; from him comes my salvation.

Thoughts on Election (The Voting Kind)
Yesterday, I reacted to the bullying refrain that a vote for anyone but Romney was equivalent with supporting Obama. My wise husband thinks it would be more helpful to walk through our decision process. The following 4 quotes are all from men we respect and have learned much from. Our pastor laid out a case… Continue reading Thoughts on Election (The Voting Kind)
The Fear Monger (a.k.a. the GOP)
We have not completely made up our minds yet about which way to cast our vote for this election. The issues are complicated. But one thing is certain, we will not be motivated by fear and pragmatism (i.e. defining truth by what ‘works’). God has not given us a spirit of fear (1 Tim 1). … Continue reading The Fear Monger (a.k.a. the GOP)

More than those, I love the much deeper, Chronicles of Narnia, Lord of the Rings, Pilgrims Progress, Hinds Feet on High Places. Now this… Continue reading Happily Ever After
Back to School
Fall, my friend, has arrived! I love the fall. I love coziness, apples, colorful leaves, the brisk air, fires, and school. Yep, I love school! We’ve started year 4 of our home-school. Years 1-3 were probably mostly my education. Year 4 looks promising that perhaps the girls are learning more than I am. We had… Continue reading Back to School
The Daily Grind
I just learned that Stephen Covey died a couple days ago. I’ve only heard highlights from his book, “The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People.” I don’t know much else about him, but I did learn that he had 9 children and 54 grand-children. Should I ever decide to read the book, I will… Continue reading The Daily Grind
