After fighting with my never-give-up side, I decided to pull my Danish Nattrojer off the needles. I am so glad I did. This thing is enormous!
So no starting-a-new-project guilt for me! If I was going to start a new project, though, I was at least going to require myself to use the same yarn. So [...]

This seems to be the most often asked question in so many different areas of my life right now. Yes, our family is in the midst of a transition, and there is a very BIG “what next” question waiting to be answered, but there are all kinds of little “what nexts” out there, too. Those [...]

What a lovely holiday we had! We had some interesting philosophical conversations around the dinner table, initiated by my sister, who wanted to hear everyone’s take on the story of the birth of Jesus. She’s considering what aspects of the story to bring to her children and looking for what part of it lives most [...]

A little over a week ago I set up an account with Google Analytics, and I just have to rave about it here. It is so cool! Because of this blog tracking service I know that people as far away as India, Norway, and New Zealand have visited my little blog! I know that most of [...]

It seemed to David that he heard voices singing in the wind among the olive trees, as though the trees themselves were singing, voices that sang not to the ear but to the soul. ‘He shall feed His flock like a shepherd: He shall gather the lambs with His arm, and carry them.’
