“Well, this is weird,” I said to myself…because there was absolutely no one else in the room with me, watching a recent World Cup match on TV.

Today’s find: Gondola
Just a hunch here: The view from inside the gondola is a lot more exciting in February than in August.

Today’s find: Obstacle course
Normally, I’d expect a walk in the woods to provide comfort.

Today’s find: Dog fight
There’s a part of me that’s inclined to think Isaiah might profit (ahem!) from spending a little time in my neighborhood.

Today’s find: Obvious
Wandering into – and through – the mission field: It’s not an exercise meant to boost self-confidence, I’ve decided. (An insight, perhaps, that qualifies me for a DMO degree – Divine Master of the Obvious).
Or perhaps it’s not obvious at all. For we are treated this week to a front row seat, as three separate scriptural characters stumble upon a seemingly simple tidbit of self-awareness.

Today’s find: Party time
I know for a fact that at one time in their lives, these ladies would have started the party at 10:30 PM…not be wrapping it up at that hour.
Not that I’m complaining.

Today’s find: Earnest
After spending a little time in the backyard with our grandson the other day, I’m thinking about giving him a new nickname: “Earnest”. (Ernie, for short).
At 15 months old, he’s turning out to be quite the hard worker—perhaps more diligent than his Gramps will ever be!

Today’s find: Creamy PB
It’s getting close now, the bottom of the jar. ‘Peter Pan Creamy’ peanut butter, to be precise. And I won’t mind polishing it off…getting that jar out of the pantry once and for all…so that I can return to my much-preferred variety of the bread spread: ‘Extra Crunchy.’
Today’s find: Fallow
Didn’t do much writing over the past 10 days. Didn’t write anything, in fact, except a text message or two…and a few emails…during our leisurely circumnavigation of Lake Erie. And I have to say, it felt pretty darn good to shift my brain into neutral for the span of our vacation. Continue reading
