Some people have suggested that the BP oil spill is judgment from God because America “doesn’t support Israel”. The same has been alleged of some of the more recent natural disasters.

  Outside my window… grey skies. I am thinking… about an impossible amount of knitting that I must complete! I am thankful for… the truck’s brakes being repaired… again! (But I am truly thankful that it was fixable!) From the learning rooms… Munchkin has read two books now, and is making steady progress. We’re getting [...]

Four laughing kids swarmed around the back yard under Suzie’s ever-watchful eye. One was digging a great canal in the sandbox, another was gliding back and forth on a swing, and the other two were taking turns on the slide.

  Outside my window… it’s looking to be a really beautiful day. I am thinking… about a novel idea that I stuck on the back burner a while ago. Perhaps I’ll work on the outline a bit this week. I am thankful for… seeing a really nice doctor and nurse this past week. From the [...]

Mom used to say, “Better late than never.” Hopefully that applies to my daybook post as well! Outside my window… the sun is shining. (But the ice is slippery.) I am thinking… about drilling holes in my head to relieve some of the sinus pressure. I am thankful for… the fact that I’m the one [...]
