The view from here. Trusting God for each new adventure.hoping I don't forget, before I get there. Tuesday, December 22, 2009. All things are possible. Christmas is my favorite holiday. Hands-down. Candy canes and Christmas lights may as well be my middle name. December 2009 finds me wondering how Christmas can possibly be 3 days away and where my Christmas spirit is. Is it even possible to find my 'ho-ho-ho' with so few days left? Life is shorter than we can imagine. It's too short for lies and grud...

The view from here. Trusting God for each new adventure.hoping I don't forget, before I get there. Thursday, July 29, 2010. She thought about things. She wasn't a fan of pain. Not really, anyhow. But she migrated to it every once in a while. Like a carribean. Vacation. Only without the sun. She didn't love the past. It hurt with it's knots and twists. She left it miles and miles away. The tangled mess didn't undo itself. The knots got tighter. Cords frayed. Still, the choice. Remain in the darkness a...

We're 2-1/2 months into 2010 and so far, the new year has been good to our family. Highlights so far? 1 Ira Glass live at the Pantageous. If you don't catch his show on NPR/WBEZ (chicago), the podcast is worth the subscription (ie it's free! 2 Hope turned 10. I still can't believe it. But she did. I love that kid. Hipster Ira Glas...

Cyncism. A critical nature. Anger. Addiction. Looking for love in all the wrong places. Mistaking love for something that isn't. Seeking out happy people - because you aren't. I'm still working on it. In the meantime, here's the monday morning edition of (and addition to) "1000 Gifts.". 172 God's love. it's huge.

The view from here. Trusting God for each new adventure.hoping I don't forget, before I get there. Friday, February 24, 2012. Lenten Thoughts - Day 3. Life without television is quiet. I don't think I actually watch tons of television - it just becomes the background noise of the house. This morning when I woke up, I rolled over and immediately started for the remote. I'm a news junkie. A favorite line from this morning's blog reading:. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Blog-addicted. Internet-lovi...

The view from here. Trusting God for each new adventure.hoping I don't forget, before I get there. Tuesday, March 23, 2010. I just read the most beautiful piece. The story of a mom-to-be. Ripe with anticipation, love, birth songs and bursting hearts. The reality of delivering a baby with Down Syndrome wasn't part of their script. Traveling her journey of words made my heart full. Happy. Hopeful. Thoughtful. The thing about God? He's there. Whether we acknowledge Him or not. THREE are better than one.

Cool face painting, yes? I cheated. This isn't from 2009. But I love this photo. Hope is brave. One of the best meals - and experiences I've had in a long t...

The view from here. Trusting God for each new adventure.hoping I don't forget, before I get there. Thursday, March 1, 2012. Lenten Thoughts - Day 9. We upgraded our systems at work yesterday to Windows 7. I left not feeling very "Lent-worthy" in my head or my heart. One real long, real unproductive day. A soup dinner was held beforehand. Made friends with the sweetest lady. A widow. Talked my ear off, but loved it all the same. Our indifference, our hardness of heart. What are we to believe? Blog-addicte...
