The Tattered Cocoon - Jeane' Nicole Miller
http://www.jeanenicolemiller.com/blog/the-tattered-cocoon
I have spent 35 years in a cocoon of vast proportion. Gratefully, for me, it was a happy place and the intentions of most of those who maintained it were good. Not everyone who shared the cocoon could say the same, but we all shared a common purpose and due to our size, a daunting majority and thus, decisive power. Body, but most bodies. It was. Body, and half-used heart. It was all we knew. Our walls were thick, we carried weight, and like Onward Christian Soldiers we marched. Do not worry about tomorro...

Stepping Out of the Traffic - Jeane' Nicole Miller
http://www.jeanenicolemiller.com/blog/stepping-out-of-the-traffic
Stepping Out of the Traffic. The Biblical slogan that has been relegated to many a primitive wooden sign and decorative vinyl clings sold in gift shops galore, "Be Still And Know{that I am God}", is a phrase I've been taking off the wall and pondering in my heart as I listen to the nudge that tells me it's time to cease, desist and listen up. Psalm 46:10 has an interesting translation in The Message:. Step out of the traffic! Take a long,. Loving look at me, your High God,. Files From Real Life.

Forgetting to Remember - Jeane' Nicole Miller
http://www.jeanenicolemiller.com/blog/forgetting-to-remember
Mom Why didn't you let us take food into school for the Food Drive? The son asks as he plays with the eggs on his breakfast plate. Oh The Food Drive? Yep Did you just forget? Indeed. But then, what's new? Two weeks ago, my middle child came home from Preschool, pulling out a paper bag decorated in hearts containing multiple Pinterest-worthy valentines. That received a text from a friend asking my whereabouts on Kindergarten Registration night as she lay in bed at 7:45 in her jammies and reading glasses?

Thoughts: "On Building a Great Church"
http://daleidablog.blogspot.com/2014/09/on-building-great-church.html
Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable - if anything is excellent or praiseworthy - THINK on these things.' Phil 4:8 NIV. Sunday, September 28, 2014. On Building a Great Church". What does it take to build a great church? That is a question that far too many pastors and church leaders are wrestling with today? It's a community of people acting out certain core Biblical values like grace, acceptance, forgivenes...

arroz con siempre: February 2015
http://arrozconsiempre.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
Not everyone who wanders is lost. Tolkien. Saturday, February 28, 2015. I have spent months working and reworking my first knitted sock ever. Finally I begin the second. Perhaps this one will go ahead with fewer mistakes and I can wear these before winter is over. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Our home, the schoolhouse on the corner. The world as we see it. Pictures that make me happy. Standing above the crowd. Look up, way up. Mennonite Girls Can Cook. One Skillet Chicken, Vegetables and Rice Meal.

arroz con siempre: An example: writing clarifies thought
http://arrozconsiempre.blogspot.com/2015/04/an-example-writing-clarifies-thought.html
Not everyone who wanders is lost. Tolkien. Friday, April 03, 2015. An example: writing clarifies thought. Fro the first time in our home school career, we have fallen off the rails enough that we are having a hard time getting back on. You understand this is not the first time we've derailed! It's the getting back up that is the problem. Perhaps you wanted to know how I think? Peek into this little window. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Our home, the schoolhouse on the corner.

Sirens and the Weight of a Boy at 4am – Shawn Smucker
http://shawnsmucker.com/2015/06/sirens-and-the-weight-of-a-boy-at-4am
Sirens and the Weight of a Boy at 4am. I’m stretched out on the floor. At 4am and the almost-one-year-. Old on my chest bears a particular. Heaviness the weight of a life. Of a moment that is here. When it should be. His lips are thin and soft. His closed eyes pale ovals reflecting. The night light on the wall. Behind us his breath is warm. And slow and heavy and so. Outside on james street a siren. Rises from a distance closer. Screaming through the window. Screen through the rain through. June 4th, 2015.

Let the Thieves Come: Everything is Already Taken – Shawn Smucker
http://shawnsmucker.com/2015/07/let-the-thieves-come-everything-is-already-taken
Let the Thieves Come: Everything is Already Taken. The area behind our neighbor’s backyard here in the city always seemed like a good site for an archaeological dig or, at night, a haunting. It looked like at some point in recent history dinner parties had been hosted there. I imagined late night talks around the small fire pit and Sunday afternoon barbecues, standing room only. 8220;It’s okay,” he said, not looking at me, his eyes gazing out on to James Street. A month or two later, I fumbled with the k...

arroz con siempre: May 2013
http://arrozconsiempre.blogspot.com/2013_05_01_archive.html
Not everyone who wanders is lost. Tolkien. Friday, May 17, 2013. There are lines in writing that resonate. Sometimes it can be the whole tone of a book or blog or website. Sometimes a sentiment behind a word or two. I have spent months on one verse in the Bible, coming back to it again and again, fully intending to get on to verse 4 but never getting past verse 3. "Grace and peace to you from our Lord Jesus Christ." So good. Remarkable for sure. In any case I read this blog post. The world as we see it.
