North to Alaska: Glacier Day Cruise
http://moonsnorthtoalaska.blogspot.com/2011/08/glacier-day-cruise.html
A fantastic trip to Alaska, August, 2011. Monday, August 8, 2011. Our day cruise to the glacier was awesome. It was gray and gloomy when we left, and it did rain a couple times while we were out but we still saw a lot. We saw lots of wildlife and scenery from the boat. It was great. Sea lions, way more otters all together than we ever have seen in Monterey, doll porpoises which I had not heard of before and who look like mini-Orcas. The big excitement was whales. First a humpback,. An Incredible Day at D...

Heart & Mind: Where Jesus was a good boy and did what his mother told him to do.
http://www.mavismoon.com/2015/08/where-jesus-was-good-boy-and-did-what.html
Some thoughts and questions. Saturday, August 8, 2015. Where Jesus was a good boy and did what his mother told him to do. Thoughts on quotes from " Finding God in All Things. An episode on "On Being.". The quote below is several parts of the interview where Fr. Martin talked about "using your imagination to place yourself within a scripture scene and to see what comes up.". What's the boat look like? What do the disciples look like? What's Jesus look like? What do you hear? What are the waves like? Krist...

Heart & Mind: April 2015
http://www.mavismoon.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
Some thoughts and questions. Friday, April 3, 2015. Judas, Peter by Luci Shaw. Because we are all. Body and blood and asking. Guilty) is it I and hearing. It would be simple for us all. But if we find grace. To cry and wait. After the voice of morning. Has crowed in our ears. To break our hearts. He will be there. To ask us each again. Do you love me? I read this poem tonight at our Good Friday service. It was a beautiful service, and it's a beautiful poem, too. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

North to Alaska: A quiet day
http://moonsnorthtoalaska.blogspot.com/2011/08/quiet-day.html
A fantastic trip to Alaska, August, 2011. Wednesday, August 3, 2011. I sat in the cafe and uploaded photos and did my blog. Once Randy got home we went to the cafe again and had their homemade berry crisp with ice cream. Delicious. Then we drove into the park again and stopped at some gift stores. For dinner we went to 229 Parks Restaurant. Just down the road. I read about it in Trip Advisor. Soon now it's off to Bedfordshire (that's my little British-ism for bed, stolen from Bridget Jones' Diary. Waitin...

North to Alaska: Beautiful Kenai Peninsula & Homer
http://moonsnorthtoalaska.blogspot.com/2011/08/beautiful-kenai-peninsula-homer.html
A fantastic trip to Alaska, August, 2011. Thursday, August 11, 2011. Beautiful Kenai Peninsula and Homer. Yesterday we left cold, rainy Valdez and took a ferry to the Kenai Peninsula. On the ferry, the weather was beautiful and it's stayed that way since. It's been sunny and gorgeous for the past two days. The ferry was fun. It was luxurious, with comfy seating, pretty art on the walls, a cafe and tons of windows for viewing the scenery. August 11, 2011 at 11:00 PM. They would make a great screen saver!

Mavis Reads and Writes to Tell About It: Delicious Sentences
http://lunarsongbird.blogspot.com/2015/07/delicious-sentences.html
Mavis Reads and Writes to Tell About It. A blog about the books I'm reading. Friday, July 24, 2015. I have a friend who posted this on Facebook:. She enjoyed registering her fellow citizens' neuroses, intimacies, and habits, plotting them on a scale of decency, and knowledgeably passing on her opinions to others. She was generous in that regard." Nina George, The Little Paris Bookshop. I thought about what my friend had written as I was re-reading Jane and Prudence. What are we having for supper? Picture...

Mavis Reads and Writes to Tell About It. A blog about the books I'm reading. Monday, September 02, 2013. Food and Friends - A Feast of a Book. I'm reading a book I picked up on sale at a cool bookstore in Santa Cruz. The first time I went there I took a picture of the shelves full of handwritten notes by the staff. Love that. That was when I was on our "Woman Time at the Ocean" weekend. Right now I'm reading one of those books. It's called Food and Friends. See the first letter of the chapter? San Jose C...

The book is divided into 7 sections, for 7 sacraments: Baptism, Confesion, Holy Orders, Communion, Confirmation, Anointing of the Sick, and Marriage. This book talks of leaving the evangelical tradit...

Mavis Reads and Writes to Tell About It: Scary Close by Donald Miller
http://lunarsongbird.blogspot.com/2015/02/scary-close-by-donald-miller.html
Mavis Reads and Writes to Tell About It. A blog about the books I'm reading. Wednesday, February 04, 2015. Scary Close by Donald Miller. I pre-ordered this book when I read about it coming out. Partly I pre-ordered it because I read Blue Like Jazz. By Donald Miller but also because if you pre-ordered it you got two freebies with it, the ebook of Blue Like Jazz. This book fed right into this line of thinking. Miller wrote about the process of changing himself while falling in love with his now wife, B...
