“…Let me say something about the word: miracle. For too long it’s been used to characterize things or events that, though pleasant, are entirely normal. Peeping chicks at Easter time, spring generally, a clear sunrise after an overcast week – a miracle, people say, as if they’ve been educated from greeting cards. I’m […]
…but you had better believe i will be working this spring/summer to remember how to use it! and just to use it. because, really? i like you guys. i like your crazy hair and chubby limbs…. i like your expressive eyes and quizzical looks… i like remembering what it is to wonder as i re-discover the created […]
have you had any days (moments, more likely) like that? they’re often few and far between, and worth savoring when you recognize one… a moment when everything feels right. friday night we dashed off to the lake. it was one of the first warm nights of spring. with jack johnson playing, the windows rolled down…we […]
{my lilac is coming to life!} {raspberry plant budding!} And he who was seated on the throne said, “Behold, I am making all things new.” {Revelation 21:5}

- tulips springing up! – if i can keep the daggum squirrels outta them! – firing up the grill tonight for the first time in ageeeeeeeessss. – spring break next week – a long over-due reuniting with my prayer journal. I want to be faithful! Spring time is good, Sugar!! Promise.

So for today…I will continue the much-needed spring cleaning and try to be thankful for what […]
I have been a pathetic blogger lately. Actually, I’ve had a generally lack-luster performance the last couple of weeks…in everything (including sleeping – bah!). But, with a little catch-up blog today, perhaps I will get back in the swing of things with Spring Break (holla!!) next week…:) So here goes…a selection of schnazzay color-coded random thoughts […]
