Posted in house church, God thoughts on Nov 24th, 2009
Our worship activity in house church this evening was to write words or phrases that started with the letters in Thanksgiving. This is what I put together:
Thank You, Lord, for
Helping me,

Shepherd of my wandering heart.
Grace and mercy flow from You.
I stand in awe of Your glory. My
Voice sings Your praise.

Today, also—and the question is whether I’ll follow that pattern personally. Because today, for the […]

My mama is a silly girl! She’s decided to stay home all day, but she won’t play or take me for walks. She just lies in bed, coughing and snorfling. I’ve suggested she’d be a lot happier if she’d put in some quality beagle time, but she just moans and rolls over again.

I grew up in the days of sending letters in the mail, or making a phone call to a friend. Much more recent than the Little House on the Prairie days, when they exchanged letters at the rate of about one a year, but still fairly primitive by today’s standards.
My blog’s been down for a […]
