Thoughts on Physical and Spiritual Discipline

It is a beautiful sunny day here in Oregon, which is a nice change from the cold and rain we have been experiencing since what seems like forever. Earlier in the day I sat down to write my post for today, but I couldn’t think...

Cooking Tips for Recipe Friday

It’s Recipe Friday and I can’t think of a recipe I want to share. Maybe it’s because we’ve been having the same old thing lately and I haven’t come up with anything that’s really new. Or maybe it’s because my recent posts with pictures have...

Grateful – A Poem

In planning for Thankful Thursday, I asked my son for a synonym for thankful and he said, “Grateful.” I’ve been putting off writing a poem based on this most obvious synonym for thankful, but I guess it’s time to give in. Grateful is a terrific...

Today is our last Sunday of Chris Nye’s 4-week series on finding Jesus in the Psalms. The Psalm reading for today is from Psalm 37. I’ve actually written on this Psalm once before in a post called Don’t Fret, but I decided to post the...

Humbly Rejoicing in God-Given Talents

A couple of weeks ago I wrote a post about The Screwtape Letters by C.S. Lewis and what I had learned from that book about prayer habits. At that time I wrote that I had discovered a number of things in this book that would...

Fajita Tacos for Recipe Friday

Growing up, tacos were not one of my favorite meals. There are so many varieties of tacos, though, so just because you don’t like one taco doesn’t mean you won’t like another. Over the years I’ve developed this taco recipe, and now it’s the only...
