Wait – Renew – Fly – Run – Walk

May 8, 2018 by admin 24 Comments

  Yesterday at church the overhead screen connection was not working properly – I am one of those who still carries her Bible to worship every week. There’s just something about paper, highlighter, penned notes in margins — I think most of you will “get that.” Maybe not all services require note-taking but our new… [Read More]

watch what you drop

January 22, 2014 by admin 20 Comments

It was one of those perfect South Florida December days, when the sky resembles the Caribbean Ocean with big white wisps of whipped cream floating by, and being with my one and only sibling sister made it all the more special. We were taking a morning walk, through her neighborhood, with Sam my dog on… [Read More]

altar-altered

August 28, 2013 by admin 10 Comments

Have you been altar-altered? I was. In 1992 I came up off my knees and never looked back. After years of mud baths and prodigal living, and then a couple of years of playing church, Holy Spirit invaded my life and convicted me of several things and, as they say, the rest is history! Have… [Read More]

roots & roots

Summer mode continues and blogging mode is less wordy but, nevertheless, meaningful! Roots and roots. Making sure theirs are solid as a rock. Strong and wide and deep. Advice from a tree: Stand tall. Go out on a limb. Remember your roots. Drink plenty of water. Enjoy the view.  Bear Grylls   xo   …and… [Read More]

are you thirsty?

July 10, 2013 by admin 11 Comments

I was cleaning up around the kitchen sink last night and on the window sill I have a small bowl which is a catch-all for stray bottle caps, etc. It needed cleaning out – two caps in the trash and at the bottom of the bowl was a black soda cap with the question, “Are… [Read More]

when pondering becomes wandering

June 19, 2013 by admin 23 Comments

I am committed to a Wednesday blog posting – I think because I have invested time and money in a blogsite, I should be committed to fresh material at least weekly. My personal opinion – no darts being thrown here! So, on Tuesdays I usually begin focusing on the post. I always say to the… [Read More]

checklist

October 5, 2012 by admin 5 Comments

Sharpshooter is a competition shooter – throughout the year he packs up his arsenal and travels to a “Shoot”. I made him a checklist and we keep them in the kitchen and every time he begins preparing his stuff, he gets a clean form out and begins checking things off. Here’s his list: [ ]… [Read More]

feet

August 15, 2012 by admin 9 Comments

I like pretty feet.  Although I don’t have pretty feet I do try to take care of my feet – I consider them an important part of my well-being! My point is this – I am NOT obsessed by my or anyone else’s feet. So, it was kind of weird several years ago when Holy… [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?
