Lapsus Calami: return to Narnia
http://slip-of-a-pen-mg.blogspot.com/2014/03/return-to-narnia.html
Just like that, I'm back. The world is whiter now than when I left, although today is beautifully clear and sunny. Yesterday I flew in just before the storm really established itself on one of the last flights from Washington, DC for the day. Tuesday morning began in what had become typical morning fashion. Oh those mornings where the sun was completely up by 6.30! Definitely on the count for the happy days challenge! One last picture of Recife. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Lapsus Calami: February 2013
http://slip-of-a-pen-mg.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html
A gift stitched, hammered, woven:. The curtains and pictures hung on my wall by my dad when I first moved in to this apartment. 3 gifts found when bent down:. A distinctive bootprint found in the snow. A photograph that has fallen to the floor. Being eye level with a younger sibling. I'm three days behind, but here is a wonderful challenge for the month of February: to find things of joy each and every day. Love - generic, but such a blessing! Pictures from my siblings drawn with love. Writing itself as ...

Lapsus Calami: January 2013
http://slip-of-a-pen-mg.blogspot.com/2013_01_01_archive.html
Screaming english major fan girls. In preparation for a class in three weeks, I have begun to read Charles Dickens' Little Dorrit. Now, as much as I adore A Tale of Two Cities. And swoon at the ending every time and enjoy my soon-to-be-annual reading of A Christmas Carol. Dickens' diction in Little Dorrit. Is phenomenal, eliciting giggles as the result of ridiculous passages. Some have Facebook, some have Twitter, I have When In Academia. And North and South. Now it is time to stretch those muscles and p...

Lapsus Calami: 9/100
http://slip-of-a-pen-mg.blogspot.com/2014/03/9100.html
The founders of Esther's Children came for breakfast today. Actually meeting them solidifies the reality of the project - I've seen it in action, and now I've met the mother-daughter duo who is responsible for its conception and execution. The Lord continues to work in wonderful ways. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). My tongue is the pen of a skillful writer - ps. 45:1. Slowly but surely learning. View my complete profile.

Lapsus Calami: August 2012
http://slip-of-a-pen-mg.blogspot.com/2012_08_01_archive.html
After months of searching, watching, waiting, and hunting, we have been blessed with a place to call home for twelve months. It is everything I hoped for (except for the carpets and the lack of closets): location, privacy, quiet, and brightness. There is even space for a piano! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Lapsus Calami: 8/100
http://slip-of-a-pen-mg.blogspot.com/2014/03/8100.html
Yet again, another long call home via Skype, but this time I participated by witnessing dinner. Although I didn't have any of the delicious looking roast, mashed potatoes with gravy, or veggies, it's really wonderful to pray together as a family from different parts of the world. This is so lovely! I love that Joel is right with your family eating dinner. :). March 2, 2014 at 10:56 PM. March 3, 2014 at 11:34 PM. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Lapsus Calami: the beginning of the end
http://slip-of-a-pen-mg.blogspot.com/2014/03/the-beginning-of-end.html
The beginning of the end. So here I am in a hotel room after a departure that began shortly after the Plan A ETA, listening to a Portuguese kids' show and anticipating a very early morning for a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity (this is called rising tension so that people remain at least somewhat interested in my blog and return tomorrow). 13/100 - seeing this incredible and stunning world.

Lapsus Calami: from the rising of the sun - 14/100
http://slip-of-a-pen-mg.blogspot.com/2014/03/from-rising-of-sun-14100.html
From the rising of the sun - 14/100. And so we became some of those tourists who forgot to pack their hats, thought they could do without them, and then realized how foolish that was. Straight across that water (pictured below. and above) is Africa. If you listen carefully, you can hear the beat of their drums (or so I'm told with a twinkle). Town here is much less chaotic than the streets of Recife. And cooler. The temperature actually drops to the low 20s in the evenings! I haven't actually seen too mu...

Lapsus Calami: October 2012
http://slip-of-a-pen-mg.blogspot.com/2012_10_01_archive.html
Oh the late nights when I tell myself to go to bed at 10 to make up for past late nights and yet continue to do work well into the nights. The promise that tomorrow will worry about itself is often difficult to accept - I keep wanting to do all my work in one day. Be still and know that I am God" (Psalm 46:10). I need this reminder shouted at me. I need to stop and appreciate the world in its frozen yet vibrant beauty, to stop and to lay all cares and concerns at His feet. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).
