Friday, January 30, 2015. The Right Tools for the Job. What an interesting set of gifts and challenges. So, today I was thinking about gifts and challenges and the work we engage in. He could testify to Congress in no uncertain terms about the ramifications of a bill they were considering, and like my other friend, with good legal training he'd be an effective legal advocate for the abused or intimidated. While mulling these observations I remembered something my father said in a group conversation about...

Wednesday, April 15, 2015. To See and Be Seen, To Know and Be Known. To see and be seen": the phrase used to express those situations where people gather with their best foot forward to watch and be impressed by others and with hopes of being respected and seen as worthy in turn. To know as we are known": the phrase Paul uses in 1st Corinthians 13, his powerful piece on love/charity, to speak about the clarity of vision that is ours when "that which is perfect has come". And how does he know us? Is compl...

Monday, March 23, 2015. Today I discovered that a book I had sold had been lost by the post office. And I could not find the tracking number. So I had to trust the buyer's claim that the book never arrived and issue him a refund. As I talked myself down from my annoyance I used the phrase "let it go". And then I wondered.will the movie, "Frozen", change the way that phrase is perceived by the youngest generation? Monday, March 02, 2015. 1st Nephi 8, Finding your way to the tree. Others arrive because the...

Tuesday, August 18, 2015. Ye shall have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation, but be of. I have decided that there is a difference between "choosing to be happy" and being of good cheer. One cannot nor should not always choose to be happy. If so, we would never mourn with those who mourn, we would never experience the sobering, tutoring process of loss, and we would not experience empathy for those who struggle or who suffer pain or injustice or abuse. Tuesday, August 11, 2015. The Book of Mormon.

...snowy mornings...: Speaking Under the Stars
http://snowymornings.blogspot.com/2015/07/speaking-under-stars.html
Friday, July 03, 2015. Speaking Under the Stars. I've been reading the last chapters of the book of John. I noticed Jesus' words at the end of chapter 14: "Arise, let us go hence.". Then chapters 15-17 continue the discourse that he began as he and his disciples sat together at the passover feast and the end of that (chapter 17) is his wonderful intercessory prayer. Cloudy or clear, given the general absence of light pollution, the sky would have been magnificent. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Wednesday, June 24, 2015. John 16 Jesus' message to his 12. There will come a time when people will see you as dangerous and will think that killing you and your message is a service to God. When someone thinks like that, it is a sure indication that they do not know God. When such times come, do not be taken by surprise. I'm telling you ahead of time so that it will not throw you off. When I am no longer physically with you, be assured that I will send the Comforter to be with you. When you need somethi...

Tuesday, September 23, 2014. Meeting Up with Cleopus, another disciple and Peter, Luke 24. It was Mary Magdalene, and Joanna, and Mary the mother. Of James, and other women that were. With them, which told these things unto the apostles. And their words seemed to them as idle tales, and they believed them not. Then arose Peter, and ran unto the sepulchre; and stooping down, he beheld the linen clothes laid by themselves, and departed, wondering in himself at that which was come to pass. These four (or fi...

Wednesday, November 26, 2014. I'm making rolls today. I haven't done much bread making at all ever since the house fire. Life just started getting very busy and occupied with other good things. But L loves orange rolls. And I love L. And his cousin gave us a recipe he loves. So I'm making rolls today and listening to music as I go. I had forgotten how much I enjoy the process of making bread. The focus, the slower pace, the hands on, the watching it come together. It's good to be reminded. The term 'savi...
