I’m wide awake | A Dream
Today has been almost as surrealistic as the dream I had just before I woke up this morning. I’m still unsettled, and have no great insight yet about it. I recorded the dream this morning. Looking back, it seems to mirror my wandering through this strange day of interruptions.
I’m wide awake lost in a maze of hallways
filled with small shops and out-of-sight Read the rest of this entry »

Growing and Changing | from Diane
Here’s a children’s sermon from Diane for all us adults who may not like what we see in the mirror. Or the news we just got from the doctor about what’s coming down the road. Read on… Read the rest of this entry »

Faculty Wife | Part 3
Fall 1969. Sometimes you just do what needs to be done. We landed in a deeply Southern South at a time when it seemed the USA was falling apart. We left behind a rather freestyle Northeastern city for a Bible College that runs things ‘by the book.’ Read the rest of this entry »

Faculty Wife | Part 2
Am I already pregnant? It’s mid-September 1969. We arrived at the Bible College several weeks ago. Classes have begun. We just found out that our health insurance, including maternity care, won’t kick in for at least a month. Read the rest of this entry »

once-jagged layers
once-jagged layers
wear light blue-gray and deep brown

Bad sea-boats we | From an Old Soul
Oops! Maybe that flame-out rescue from his nightmare of dire darkness, the one George MacDonald asked for in the last sonnet, was a bit hasty. Not because it wasn’t worthy of God, but…. Read the rest of this entry »

Grandma Ethel Ema – A Mystery
Ethel Ema Eckel, Feb 1889 – Jan 1918
This elegant woman has been frozen in my mind most of my life. Hanging on the wall just like this. I don’t know when this picture was taken.
I’ve seen only two other photos of her. One was taken a year after she married Read the rest of this entry »
