Midsummer Meanderings: December 2011
http://midsummermeanderings.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html
December 28, 2011. Fat little cheek kissing. Watching my baby take care of his baby. What have you been up to? December 23, 2011. Merry, Merry Chirstmas! This is not all there is. I wanted to tell them. This is just a passing through place; this. Is hard and wearisome and it's a scary place, but it is not the. I wanted to tell them God loves them. If we could see beyond the seeable we would know that and it could be possible to laugh at this. If we could see. I am convinced that nothing. December 22, 2011.

http://midsummermeanderings.blogspot.com/2012/07/i-have-friend-whose-whole-life-has-been.html
July 16, 2012. I have a friend whose whole life has been changed by reading Ann Voskamp's. Book: 1000 Gifts. The other day I was visiting my friend and saw this note taped to the wall near her phone:. NEVER allow yourself to complain about anything. NEVER picture yourself in any other circumstance or some other place. NEVER compare your lot in life with another person's. NEVER allow yourself to wish this or that had been otherwise. NEVER dwell on tomorrow. Remember that tomorrow is God's. This is just a ...

Midsummer Meanderings: February 2012
http://midsummermeanderings.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html
February 29, 2012. I went to a wedding in Oregon many years ago. Have you ever been there? It is a beautiful state, and I wouldn't raise a stink if I had to go live there. Mountains, long, rolling valleys, colorful orchards and farms, the wonderful Hood River. (which will take you to the ocean if you care to follow it that far.) In my opinion, Oregon has it all. In front of the car . I'm telling you, there's just something about that Oregon air. To write about was super powers. Have you ever wished y...

Midsummer Meanderings: January 2012
http://midsummermeanderings.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
January 31, 2012. And yet more stuff i'm stewing on. Where do science and the bible meet? I'm thinking about psychology at the moment). If dogs are so smart, why do the same dogs snarl and bark at me every. single. day when I walk? Don't they remember me? I was just "here" 24 hours ago. Should you tell your kids about the family skeletons hiding in the closet? Where do our choices and God's sovereignty meet? Why is it taking so long to heal? What does it feel like to die? Will judge the angels. Stepping ...

Midsummer Meanderings: November 2011
http://midsummermeanderings.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html
November 30, 2011. These are my sons. Four babies turned toddlers, turned stinkers, turned young men. They carry my heart with them wherever they go. I tried to soak them up when they were small; tried to memorize their little boy voices and their little boy hugs; tried to memorize the way they laughed and the way they told their little boy stories. I tried to absorb into my heart the flowers they placed in my hands and the sweet sweaty kisses they placed on my cheek. You never know what he's going to sa...

Midsummer Meanderings: A Peak at The Flip Side
http://midsummermeanderings.blogspot.com/2012/05/peak-at-flip-side.html
May 14, 2012. A Peak at The Flip Side. Last week my smallest son pulled out a scrapbook I'd made of my mother and her life. I know I've given her a bad reputation here.I think I'll be wading through the murky waters of my relationship with mom until the day I die. The other day though, while I was busy doing whatever it was I was doing, my son started reading her scrapbook out loud to me-I'm very glad he did. It helped me remember the things I loved and appreciated about mom. And not just my eyes. She wa...
