All My Tears
Another song Abby and I recorded.
Wayfaring Stranger
My daughter Abby and I recorded this together a couple of years ago.
More joys of spam…
Even with a great spam filter on our server removing 90% of the spam that comes through, every day there are new ones that find their way through the system. Many are annoying, but some are downright funny. Yesterday I got this one. It was called a “Visibility Report” and listed a domain name that […]
Downsizing and decluttering
There’s nothing like watching a clip from the TV show “Hoarders” to make you want to clean house…and closets…and garage. Clearly, most of those people are suffering a form of mental illness. No rational person would choose to live in a house piled with stuff so high they can only get through a path in […]
Was George Orwell a prophet?
I’ve been thinking a lot about my online activities since the news story broke about the big social media players deciding to restrict whatever they consider to be “hate speech.” This whole politically correct thing is on the verge of fulfilling George Orwell’s 1984 novel.
I used to love blogging…
After a lifetime of using words to express my thoughts and emotions, it seems strange to struggle for words. But for the last six months or so, that’s been the case. Writer’s block? No. Just no motivation to write. I don’t know if it’s the battle with lyme disease robbing me of expressiveness, or just […]
Is there poison in your food?
Every day I come across articles about the dangers hidden in our everyday foods. There are pesticides, GMO, artificial sweeteners, toxic chemicals, contamination. I definitely take an interest in this topic. Why? Because I like being alive and don’t want to shorten my life unnecessarily by ingesting toxic substances. I appreciate the warnings about what’s […]
I won an award!!
Got an email this evening from some company telling me my web development company had won an “American Economic Leadership Award.” Since my company is relatively small, I wondered how this organization had come upon my name, etc. There was a photo of a nice acrylic award with my company name etched in it so […]
Light in Darkness
Driving past a cemetery last night I was startled to notice lights among the tombstones. At first I thought they were just reflections from some of the polished markers, but I looked a little closer look and saw that they were actually lights. Some were solar lights pushed into the ground and others seemed to […]
There’s no place like home
For the last three weeks our family has been on the road, driving from Virginia to British Columbia and back again. We’ve seen majestic mountains and huge crystal lakes, acres of cornfields, vast expanses of dessert and open areas of sagebrush and rock. It’s been a wonderful trip.
The culture of “MORE”
It seems to me that our American way of life revolves around the word “more.” The basic premise of advertising is found in creating a desire for more, making us feel we are lacking or missing something unless we have whatever it is they are promoting.
As a new year begins…
About 30 years ago my husband and I felt called to sell everything and become debt-free, so we could engage in full time ministry. We put everything up for sale and prayed and waited. A series of miracles happened rapid-fire as our business and houses sold. Debts were paid and we made our big move […]
