http://thisismarcisworld.blogspot.com/2012/07/little-julian-is-year-old.html
This is Marci's World. Laughing, learning, loving, living, longing. Tuesday, July 3, 2012. Little Julian is a year old. He is such a joy! I melt when he smiles or reaches out to me to be held. His playfulness and giggles delight me. God bless you little one and may you never know a day when you didn't know Jesus! Grandma and Grandpa love you! July 3, 2012 at 10:41 AM. Wow, has it already been a year? I can hardly believe it! Way to be a grandma! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). How Shall We Then Live?

This is Marci's World. Laughing, learning, loving, living, longing. Sunday, April 22, 2012. It's a warm sunny day in Northridge but. It's raining down my face. She's been in heaven 4 months. No one but Gracie talks with me about her anymore. It's all still really fresh for me. I want to tell Mom Larry and I are happy. I want to tell her I'll be teaching Latin in a brick and mortar school in Fall. I want to tell her I had a wonderful visit with my brother and his wife for a few days this week. I completel...

This is Marci's World: moving out
http://thisismarcisworld.blogspot.com/2010/07/moving-out.html
This is Marci's World. Laughing, learning, loving, living, longing. Tuesday, July 20, 2010. Lydia is not a little girl anymore. Lydia is moving out. She is beginning to pack for the big move next week to a house she will share with 6 others near school. I wonder what she will take with her - will she take pictures of her friends and family? Will she take all those pillows that "box" her in as she sleeps? Will she take her trophies from shooting? What says "home" to her? July 20, 2010 at 3:27 PM. I was re...

This is Marci's World: end of the year
http://thisismarcisworld.blogspot.com/2010/12/end-of-year.html
This is Marci's World. Laughing, learning, loving, living, longing. Tuesday, December 7, 2010. End of the year. It is the end of the year and I am feeling a bit reflective. I recently returned home, having been in Chicago for a few days; this time to finish helping move Mom into assisted living. He usually knows who she is but there are times when he confuses her with his mother or his beloved first wife who died long years ago. But he knows one thing for sure; he loves this woman mightily. She rarely mi...

This is Marci's World: veils
http://thisismarcisworld.blogspot.com/2010/08/veils.html
This is Marci's World. Laughing, learning, loving, living, longing. Wednesday, August 25, 2010. And not so long ago, a lovely veiled bride, who is my daughter, walked down the aisle to be unveiled by her husband. The veil represented the separation between them. She could not be fully known until she was unveiled. That moment when the groom lifts the veil and kisses his bride. Is always the high point of the drama of any good wedding, and so it was that day. In Lewis' book Till We Have Faces. What about ...

This is Marci's World: A shower
http://thisismarcisworld.blogspot.com/2013/04/a-few-weeks-ago-i-was-asked-to-give.html
This is Marci's World. Laughing, learning, loving, living, longing. Wednesday, April 3, 2013. A few weeks ago I was asked to give a devotion at the bridal shower for the daughter of a dear friend, who herself is a friend of mine! There is some magical age when daughters of friends become your own friends and she is there already! This wedding now had new significance. There was much more going on, as well, but I wanted to focus on this last point. I said it to the bride-to-be and to myself. In CS Lewis m...

This is Marci's World: Moses meets Orual
http://thisismarcisworld.blogspot.com/2009/09/moses-and-orual.html
This is Marci's World. Laughing, learning, loving, living, longing. Sunday, September 20, 2009. I was reading in Deut. this lovely cool morning. Moses died and was buried by God. Ch. 34:10; ". Since then, no prophet has risen in Israel like Moses, whom the LORD knew face to face. Consider these other passages on the same theme. I Cor 3: 12 - 18. Therefore, since we have such a hope, we are very bold. We are not like Moses, who would put a veil over his face. Till We Have Faces;. Her," said the judge.

This is Marci's World: pondering
http://thisismarcisworld.blogspot.com/2012/04/pondering.html
This is Marci's World. Laughing, learning, loving, living, longing. Sunday, April 22, 2012. CS Lewis ponders the concept/reality of longing in many of his works. We long for that which we were made to know. We long for a perfect weedless garden because so long ago we lost one. We long for a home that is spacious and welcoming and neat and whole because there is one promised for us in heaven. We long for that perfect meal because some day we will be served that meal by God Himself. Is it that time already?

This is Marci's World: December passages
http://thisismarcisworld.blogspot.com/2013/01/december-passages.html
This is Marci's World. Laughing, learning, loving, living, longing. Wednesday, January 2, 2013. Who could have foretold I would lose both parents just one year apart! Just as I was moving on from a year of mourning Mom's death, I got a call from Gracie the day before I was to go to see Dad for a visit. Dad was failing quickly. Larry re-booked me and within 20 minutes of Gracie's call, I was out the door. His feet became purple and cold. His breathing changed, slowed. And then he stopped breathing. We kis...
