Back in highschool, my friend and I worked through an art elective which I never regretted. Oh yes, we had lots of projects and unpredictable tests, but doing art as schoolwork was fun! I still use techniques I learned then. I also appreciate different forms of art more now than I used to. One bookContinue reading “Mosquito in the Cabin”

The Weeping City
Through a windshield splattered with mud and rain— Rain that speckles, trickles, and slides— I watch the city rush by. Reflected on puddles, windows, and mirrors, I see lights— Orange lights, green lights, red and blue blinking. I see trucks and semis, cars and buses— Weaving in and out, honking, splashing, and wailing. I seeContinue reading “The Weeping City”
Choosing Gratitude (Part 2)
To continue my previous post, I still have many more things to share for which I am grateful! By now the snow is melting rapidly and occasionally huge chunks of snow clatter off the roof. Of course, it is only mid-March, so we’ll likely have more snowstorms coming yet. But the fight between winter andContinue reading “Choosing Gratitude (Part 2)”
Choosing Gratitude (Part 1)
Hello to all! Yes, I am still on this planet and I haven’t been quite buried beneath all the snow here. Today the sun shines warmly, finally giving us respite from the colder temperatures we had this past week. Melting snow drips off the roof and customers track mud into the store. I am thankfulContinue reading “Choosing Gratitude (Part 1)”
From An Elephant Teddy
Again and again lately, I have been reminded of how incredibly blessed we are this Christmas season. The blessings come in so many different packages and I cannot unwrap them all for you today. The greatest blessing of all is that my Savior humbled Himself to become man so He could offer salvation. He experiencedContinue reading “From An Elephant Teddy”
The Heartbeat
A year or two ago, I received my own doctor kit. But this one didn’t come in a bright pink case with six plastic instruments. Although I had such when I was younger, this examination set included only real instruments with glass and metal! Every piece could be used just like in hospitals! WhatContinue reading “The Heartbeat”
Summer’s Cheerleader
“But ask now the beasts, and they shall teach thee; and the fowls of the air, and they shall tell thee: who knoweth not in all these that the hand of the LORD hath wrought this? In whose hand is the soul of every living thing, and the breath of all mankind.” Job 12:7, 9-10Continue reading “Summer’s Cheerleader”
The Unfinished Life
Do you ever preach at yourself? For myself, it often tends to be more effective than having someone else do it for me. Not long ago, I found myself in the depths of discouragement and hopelessness. Months without answers reached a climax. In my desperation, I began telling myself the words I wished someone elseContinue reading “The Unfinished Life”
Unfurled
Appearing as spirals of green, Tufted leaves in the garden uncurl, Emerging as beautiful ferns. Circling symmetrically, Rose-tinted buds seem to swirl, Enthralling the eye as they burst. A fluttering skipper, Its wings in ecstasy twirls After it breaks from its binding cocoon. So may I stop clutching my own, Hiding nothing, but only displayingContinue reading “Unfurled”
