Eternal Life and Death. Eternal Life and Death. This is an expansion of The Story. That dives deeper into my struggles with Hell, and how without it, Christianity fell apart.

Memoirs for my children: Favorite posts
http://ruthmem.blogspot.com/p/favorite-posts.html
Memoirs for my children. Thoughts about the meaning and purpose of life, and simple stories about the way we live. How I met your father. Why I love the beach. A memory I had tried to repress. Remembering to say thank you. Yesterday was a glorious beach day. A tough morning (a bawdy tale of toilets). Memory Lane, furtively. What I would like. Letter to my daughters (begin series of 2). Good-bye girls (begin series here). Immanuel in the Details. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Peace about the big questions.

Memoirs for my children: Grace and Beauty
http://ruthmem.blogspot.com/2015/07/grace-and-beauty.html
Memoirs for my children. Thoughts about the meaning and purpose of life, and simple stories about the way we live. Friday, July 17, 2015. One of my friends is dying. When we moved to Syracuse in 1988, she and her husband were almost our very first friends. They'd moved here from Great Britain and I don't even know how long they'd been here. They had a new baby girl, Diana. I think of a beautiful life, a life lived in kindness and hospitality and concern for the hurting. She served, she prayed, she en...

Memoirs for my children: Blue Moon
http://ruthmem.blogspot.com/2015/07/blue-moon.html
Memoirs for my children. Thoughts about the meaning and purpose of life, and simple stories about the way we live. Friday, July 31, 2015. This month, I learned that a blue moon happens when there are two full moons in one month. The second one is a blue moon. This month we had a full moon on July 1, and tonight, July 31 is the second. It is big and round and golden, not blue. I do love the moon. I was looking at the moon that night thinking, Is it supposed to be blue? August 9, 2015 at 11:28 PM. Thank yo...

Memoirs for my children: August 2015
http://ruthmem.blogspot.com/2015_08_01_archive.html
Memoirs for my children. Thoughts about the meaning and purpose of life, and simple stories about the way we live. Monday, August 31, 2015. Usually I am not afraid of spiders. My kids will tell you. I am a beast at killing spiders, squashing them with a tissue and tossing them into the toilet before flushing them away forever and all eternity. I have saved screaming children from spiders on many occasions in the past. The spider emerged from under my covers and ran down the side of my bed to the floor...

Whatsoever is Lovely: Two Weeks
http://aliceg95.blogspot.com/2015/07/two-weeks.html
Eternal Life and Death. Wednesday, July 22, 2015. Two weeks ago yesterday, I was shopping at Meijer by myself for my 10 year old's birthday. It was raining hard. My cell phone rang and I wondered why Mom would be calling me at this time of day. Her voice sounded grim, wanted me to know what was going on, Norm (my step-dad) had a stroke. They saw something on the CT scan they didn't like, would call me back when she knew more. Oncology gives treatment options, grim prognosis. The cancer will continue ...

Whatsoever is Lovely: August 2015
http://aliceg95.blogspot.com/2015_08_01_archive.html
Eternal Life and Death. Wednesday, August 26, 2015. The kids called him that. My mom brought cookies on one of her visits during the years that I was practically a baby factory. She would come when the littles were little and help me out with whatever she could. Keeping the ones with teeth happy with cookies was one thing she did and did well. It became a tradition and she became known as Cookie Grandma. He was definitely a gift giver. The kids were thrilled, but I was more-so. He loved us. Is he in pain?

Whatsoever is Lovely: Religion and Culture
http://aliceg95.blogspot.com/2015/06/religion-and-culture.html
Eternal Life and Death. Monday, June 8, 2015. My husband and I don't talk much about the "god" anymore, but the other night we got into the idea that all religions are pretty much defined to certain areas of the world and probably when it comes down to it, pretty much the same thing. Unfortunately, I can't find a very good photo of it one the web, I'll have to stop by and get one myself soon. Will there be any efforts made to convert visitors? 8226; No. Hindus believe all faith traditions are paths t...

Memoirs for my children. Thoughts about the meaning and purpose of life, and simple stories about the way we live. Wednesday, January 28, 2015. White peonies from my garden in Liverpool, NY. 2015 started out rough. But God has been here, all the time. He is at work in my heart, in my life, in the lives around me. Although this blog has been neglected, it is a good thing. It has been a time of retreat, withdrawal, a time of prayer and contemplation and finding my rest and peace in the Lord. But I am going...
