http://www.youmeandpoppyseed.com/questions-on-life/the-pursuit-of-happiness
Working on Life's Assignments. The Pursuit of Happ”I”ness. March 31, 2014. I am so tired of listening to the following phrase, I am. Not happy. I am not a physiologist or sociologist, surely as many of you know; I have no d-r in front of my name. I am; however, a human being like all of you and in my mind, I believe this phrase is mainly being used to justify whatever actions go against what we know to be right and pleasing to our Creator. Why do I say this? Now, let me ask the following? Back to the mar...

Working on Life's Assignments. Tomorrow: The Light Will Shine. May 14, 2014. May 14, 2014. Tomorrow I walk into The Village with an open heart and choosing the mindset of a confident woman and start on The Task. The Task? I am teaching a six-week leadership course to a group of sex trafficking survivors. I am told I will be up for a challenge as these survivors view themselves as victims; but, I don’t want this or anything else to get in my way of loving and leading these girls. One thought on “ To...

Working on Life's Assignments. March 24, 2014. March 24, 2014. I felt uneasy as though something was wrong. I emailed her. I Skyped her. I messaged her. No feedback. I messaged again, but this time, I let her know I felt something was wrong. Across the many miles that separate us, my best friend who is serving as a missionary in Lesotho, Africa needed my prayers. I kept asking myself, why isn’t he encouraging? Why doesn’t he bring me flowers,. Why doesn’t he say I am beautiful,. Over and over again.

Rancho Ruperto: A Patchwork Post
http://ranchoruperto.blogspot.com/2010/08/patchwork-post.html
Thursday, August 5, 2010. Like a quilt of leftover scraps that doesn't quite fit the bed it's made for, here is a wrap-up of last week, with commentary:. After a long talk with my manager S (Bless her, she is coordinating all the help people have offered locally. She even has a business card! And yet, a week later, I still have most of it. Seems like it's falling out in stages, some days more than others. Frankly, it's the process itself I'm dreading most, so while I'm glad it's still attached, I...Moms ...

Rancho Ruperto: June 2015

Thursday, June 11, 2015. It was a cold season. So Mom made us each a quilt from Dad's old shirts. Goodbye to the home place. Then it got hot and pond swimming commenced. Rhubarb picking, too. Birds a la James Rizzi by N-boy. Common yellowthroat, uncommon song. Links to this post. IBro to me: You're the person I love the most when Grandma's not here. At least I know right where I stand. And there's no one I'd rather play second fiddle to than my mom! Links to this post. Wednesday, June 10, 2015. IBro, who...

Working on Life's Assignments. And The Joy Dare Begins. June 2, 2014. June 2, 2014. On Mother’s Day, all moms were given a One Thousand Gifts. Devotional at church; one of the many things I like about our church, Passion City Church. Not the gifts; the attention to details. Grateful for this gift, yet many days later [today to be exact], I finally open the pages to this book. I would have enjoyed sitting on the couch with husband and baby; yet, there was tension in the air. Perhaps. 8212; was more daily ...

Rancho Ruperto
http://ranchoruperto.blogspot.com/2015/07/in-theory-im-all-for-gardening.html
Tuesday, July 21, 2015. In theory, I'm all for gardening. Grow your own. Eat the produce that springs naturally from the soil of your own back yard- or back 40. But then comes the reality of mid-summer. The once-darling puppy garden, with its cute little sprouts and adorable green-on-black rows, is now an overgrown, hairy, and demanding monster, with rotting breath and swarms of Japanese beetles. A pet place for skunks and snakes and toads. The problem is that I'm always happy to have the produce (though...
