More Birds
In regard to last week’s post, we finally got the doves to nest somewhere else. I think they decided on the neighbor’s deck. I’ve seen a couple of doves flying around and going over there. They have a bird feeder out so the new nest is closer to the “grocery store.” Now we have a […]
Battle of the Doves
While the title may seem like an oxymoron, let me explain. It’s spring and love is in the air, especially for a pair of doves looking for a place to nest. Let me start by saying I love birds. When I was in grade school, my dad would take me with him on dove counts […]
A Time to Rest
Ecclesiastes 3:1 says To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven: and it goes on to list times to do this and times to do otherwise. The list Solomon gives doesn’t include a time it say a time to go 90 mph in life and a time to rest, but […]
Organizing Photos
My project in the evenings this past week has been to organize and remove photos from my phone. The whole thing started when I was looking for a certain photo and had to scroll through seemingly endless other ones to find the one I wanted. It was time to thin them out and moved into […]

I tweeted back that words have the power to cause anger, hurt, and confusion, but they also have the power to soothe, comfort, and […]

I try not to think too deeply while I’m driving for safety reasons, but I still allow my mind to wander close by. I […]
Dear 17-Year-Old Me:
You don’t know me. You haven’t even imagined me. I’m your future you. I remember you well. You’re a timid, uncertain, self-conscious girl who thinks everyone else is better than she is. School is easy for you, yet you think you’re not very smart. Consequently, you have no ambition or drive to do anything other […]
Unplugged for a Day
I must confess that I’ve become addicted to electronics. I’m on my computer every day for several hours, longer when I’m writing and editing. Additionally, I’m on my phone more than I should be. It’s really nice for keeping in touch with friends and family, but spending hours on it is not a good thing. […]
