“Just a broken foot and two cracked ribs? That’s it?” I can remember quizzing the ER doctor following his diagnosis and instructions and feeling pretty darn lucky. Well, foolish, too, because if I hadn’t applied that imaginary brake in the front passenger seat when that driver crashed into us head on, I would […]
Praying in the midst of a storm
February 13, 2012 By 13 Comments
Have you ever had a friend or relative suggest prayer-gasp!-as a means of helping you find your way out of the depths of a personal storm? Uh huh. I’m sure you practically bit your tongue off so you didn’t drive them out of your life forever welcomed that suggestion with open arms. Prayer? Really? […]

Well, well. Wasn’t that an interesting, jam packed full-of-learning week. Anyone who participated in the challenge deserves a pat on the back for stretching those comfort zones so far that we were sure that they might snap us right into next week. Or under the wheels of an oncoming bus. I came away intrigued, in […]

Joining Lisa-Jo for her Five minute Friday prompt of “Still”. Today she writes: So on Fridays, we take the dare to become Word Artists.

Looking in the Rear View Mirror
September 24, 2009 By 2 Comments
When you took Driver’s Education in high school, you were taught to be aware of all your surroundings so that you would be safe behind the wheel.
