  • Thinking about Thanksgiving Day

    November 18, 2009

    • Weather at Woodsong turned fall chilly today along with some rain.  I did not leave the house although I originally planned to go with Gerald when he took Katherine for her H1N1 shot, but it was just too tempting to stay snug at home.  Since it was cool enough, I turned on the self-cleaning device in the small oven, which was quite disgraceful from heavy summer use.  I emptied the big oven on ...

  • Celebrating Autumn

    November 15, 2009

    • A  warm sunny Saturday afternoon saw folks sitting on the steps and picnic tables at John A. Logan College entrance.  Fragrance floated from the Karmel Korn trailer, and relaxed shoppers coming and going to and from the filled parking lot were enjoying the beautiful autumn day.  Bales of straw artistically topped with pumpkins, squash, and gourds set the theme for the annual fall festival of ...

  • Seasons

    November 8, 2009

    • Rainy weather has been replaced this week with sunny days giving just the right amount of warmth to the breezy air.  Everyone has felt their spirit lift although the great fall color has greatly diminished.  Yesterday I was scheduled to speak at Nine Mile Baptist Church’s women’s retreat at Lake Sallateeska, and I enjoyed the drive up to north of Pinckneyville and the beautiful lodge after ...

Comments I've Written

  • Welcome, Jennifer!

    Enjoyed your "conversations." Glad you joined. Look forward to more of your words.

  • The Pleasure and Peaace of Sanctuary

    Fascinating report of the perpetual self-educated seeking student.

  • Thanks for telling us about Peace Pilgrim

    Thanks for telling us about Peace Pilgrim. Amazing.

  • Teaching...

    How can anyone claim to follow Jesus unless they study his teachings? Of course, some of us study them and still cannot follow them. But the effort is certainly beneficial.

  • You are funny...
