http://ruthverkaik.blogspot.com/2012/09/where-were-you.html
Dancing in the Rain. Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass, it's learning to dance in the rain! Just for YOU :). Tuesday, September 11, 2012. I was at Christian Liberty Academy, getting ready for the day. For once, I was in my classroom early and never heard the news reports until my students came in and told me that some planes had crashed. Since planes sometimes crash, I reassured them we would pray for those people during our prayer time. No way. Or wait… maybe… wow. Before school this mornin...

Dancing in the Rain. Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass, it's learning to dance in the rain! Just for YOU :). Friday, August 31, 2012. Warning: My Thoughts on Politics and this Election. I've been thinking and I need to write about it. So, hang on tight, read until the end, and hear my heart. :). Here in West Michigan, one of the first questions you ask someone recently moved, aside from "How are you? And "What do you do", is "What church you go to? Why do I have to settle for voting that way?

Dancing in the Rain. Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass, it's learning to dance in the rain! Just for YOU :). Wednesday, July 18, 2012. A Letter to Myself of 9 years ago. Tonight as you celebrate your birthday and make the final preparations for your wedding tomorrow, here are some things to remember. The white runner is meaningless and unnecessary. Even when "She Thinks My Tractor's Sexy" is censored by the pastor, still enjoy the moment. :). Be impressed with every "find" that little boys b...

Dancing in the Rain: Have you considered all your options?

Dancing in the Rain. Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass, it's learning to dance in the rain! Just for YOU :). Tuesday, January 22, 2013. Have you considered all your options? I could feel a coldness that had nothing to do with the thermostat. From the moment we entered the office, it was a stiff and sterile white place. But it was more than just a color vibe. We both felt it. The place you find out the worst news and go have your problem “dealt with”. Good” But I let it come out more of...

Dancing in the Rain. Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass, it's learning to dance in the rain! Just for YOU :). Monday, April 28, 2014. A Life Well Lived. She sits in a rolling recliner with her eyes half closed. Four years ago, she used to sit in a chair outside the children's ministry bathrooms making sure those little boys washed their hands. I walk up to her and smile. She smiles tentatively, obvious that she doesn't remember me at first sight. She once told me that her one goal in life was...

Dancing in the Rain. Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass, it's learning to dance in the rain! Just for YOU :). Sunday, May 11, 2014. Not your typical Mother's Day post. If you clicked on this link to read a thoroughly sappy post dedicated to moms, you won't find it here - at least not thoroughly. If you are thinking "Hmm. Well, that either makes her some neo-feminist or else a hard-hearted crazy woman", while that could be true. its not. I'm just an average mom. I know a mom whose dear hubby i...
