I Have Nothing To Say!

Not Much To Say!

Image by Debby Hudson on Unsplash – I love her photography because she always captures real life! Disappointment Maybe it’s trip lag or maybe I’ve run out and my well is dry. But I cannot think of anything of value to say here in a blog. I started the picture book about our trip –… [Read More]

The Robin and The String – Again!

April 11, 2018 by admin 41 Comments

[Most of us, in the Continental United States, are so grossly over winter. Do I have a witness? Can I have an amen? BUT, last week I did see a Mrs. Robin in the yard. And, this week we had two pairs of Mr. and Mrs. Rufous-Sided Towhee. Spring is on its way! There will… [Read More]

How Can It Be So Wrong When It Feels So Right?

April 26, 2017 by admin 52 Comments

It was 1979. The phone rang. “Hello.” There was a pause and then the song, Reunited by Peaches and Herb, began to play. I stood there stunned. Willing myself to hang up but frozen and unable to move. Reunited, and it feels so good Reunited, ’cause we understood There’s one perfect fit And, sugar, this one… [Read More]

Are You Sleeping With The Enemy?

April 5, 2017 by admin 38 Comments

A few weeks ago I was sweeping the kitchen floor – just the simplicity of that task soothed my funky, post-vacation soul that morning.  And as He does, He spoke to me – I told you about that here. As I swept this thought came to me: To know how to fight one must know who… [Read More]

Kate said green I am entering the room reciting a Kate said green

I am entering the room reciting a poem – one of my favorite reads when my children were small. Ready?

Green eggs and ham? I do not Like them, Sam-I-am. Could you, would you, With a goat? I would not, Could not. With a goat! Would you, could you, On a boat? I could not, would not, on a boat. I will not, will not, with a goat. I will not eat them in the rain. I will not eat them on a train. Not in the dark! Not in a tree! – Dr. Seuss

What a cynical world we live in. I will never stop quoting Dr. Seuss. And, if I ever have another grandchild? They will be read the wonderful lyrics of Dr. Seuss.

Green

I happen to like the color green – for me it represents life and growth. Green grass. Green trees. Green turtles. Each filled with life. I like green. It’s my cousin’s favorite color. Her family home was full of green!

Green Hope

And, I will end my five minute essay with “MY” verse. The HOPE verse that changed me. It’s from the Message translation…

Oh! May the God of green hope fill you up with joy, fill you up with peace, so that your believing lives, filled with the life-giving energy of the Holy Spirit, will brim over with hope! Romans 15.13

What does green conjure up in you?
