Restricted Vision, Unburdened Sight
Sometimes the things you can't see help you see more clearly!
What does your day and night look like? Can you tell them apart? Since I’ve been trying to get my schedule realigned from the past couple of years of just winging it, sometimes it is hard for me to see where the day ends and the night begins. To say my sleep schedule is out … Continue reading From the Light of Day to the Dark of Night
When I was working for the University, about twenty-five or twenty-six years ago, I worked with a lady that had previously been part of the Polish Olympic archery team. (I will call her Beth here in the blog, although that was not her name.) Beth actually competed in the Olympics in Atlanta in 1996. She … Continue reading We Have All Taken, Our Eyes Off the Mark
Do you have any idea how much water you can lose if you have a faucet that is dripping or a leaky toilet? It might actually amaze you. Last summer my water bill went up considerably from one month to the next, very considerably. I knew that I had not used a lot of extra … Continue reading Keep Your Eye on the Details
Yes, I knew eventually I was going to do it. Each time that I added water to the humidifier, I told myself “deliberately” to not forget to put the lid on the tank before I flipped it back over. But each time I did it, I knew there was going to be a time when … Continue reading A Visible Picture to Others
I don’t think that I would consider myself a perfectionist. There are too many things that get left undone sometimes for me to consider myself a perfectionist. My brothers, on the other hand, may consider me a perfectionist. There have been numerous times, back in the day, when each of them, at one time or … Continue reading Can We Get a Look at Perfection
This post’s passage reference: Psalm 119:90-93 I saw a post a few years ago that talked about how we should be praying scripture over our family every day. For many years I had already been sending my family members a good morning text with a Bible verse included. It started out, on my ancient flip … Continue reading Light Up the Dark
This post’s passage reference: Psalm 119:64-68 In Bible study the other night we were talking about wanting our homes to be peaceful places. (If you have heard me tell this story a hundred times….sorry!) I feel like encouraging, uplifting music plays a big part in creating that soothing atmosphere. I generally keep a Christian music station … Continue reading Joy to Brighten the Day
This post’s passage reference: Psalm 119:48-53 Have you ever been challenged, out of the blue, by a stranger in a situation where you may not have been comfortable sharing your Christian witness? I guess since I have already hinted at my age once this week I might as well do it again. I had a … Continue reading Don’t Be Afraid to Be the Light that Filters Through the Dark
This post’s passage reference: Psalm 119:37-41 I listen to a radio station where they have this thing called a “30 day challenge.” The challenge for listeners is to listen only to this station for 30 days—no television programs, no news, no social media, only the encouraging, uplifting programming from the radio station. They want you … Continue reading Stay on the Path that is Well Lit
My closest childhood friend posted a video to my Facebook timeline titled, "Do You Remember Playing With Paper Dolls?" Her comments were reminiscent of the times we spent playing with paper dolls when we were young. We grew up next door to each other until we were seventeen. We spent much of that time together … Continue reading Ah, Those Blue Eyes
