Old Priorhouse Post from 2014 Last night, after I posted my sneaker photo for the WP challenge on perspective, it reminded me of a powerful little “perspective story” I heard a while ago and I thought I would share it here. I also want to show you how three artists*(Matisse, O’Keeffe, and Rothko) see the color RED … More Swindoll Story (art by Matisse, O’Keeffe, Rothko -Part 3)
The “auto-format” feature is helpful, but sometimes it is so annoying because it changes words so quickly! My husband and I were laughing about the “messed up” texts (from auto-format) we sent this weekend. His friend asked him what he was wearing on stage, and he meant to type, “I am wearing a dorky … More Not all Scrooges are depicted equally…
On my recent trip to the Buffalo area… I also went to a Wednesday night church service that was completely ANNOYING. The experience turned out to be a catalyst for talking with many family members about legalism and error within the church, so that was a plus. At this service, well after only about 10 … More Tithing error (Buffalo trip-part 3)
I previously shared that my recent trip to Buffalo was VERY special –and here are two more reasons why. First, for a couple of years now I have been following the Andrea Remembers blog. Last spring, someone gave me some class samples to possibly use in the art room, and one of the items was … More Andrea and my Ancestry (Buffalo trip-part 2)
It seems like the topic that keeps coming up this week is the VALUE of going through hard times. Our small group message was about “How we grow from adversity” – then in my inbox I read that we can only “develop GRIT from going t h r o u g h dilemmas” – and then … More Strengthened in the Process (Golden Gate Bridge poem)
In November 2009, I had the chance to take a solo trip to see family in Florida – my trip actually started with a visit to Jasper, Georgia – which is a beautiful town outside of Atlanta – but it was my visit to the Sunshine State that month which would later lead to a … More Maxine’s Mondrian (power of art)
Ellis Island reopened today – after being shut down more than a year for repairs from hurricane damage. And to celebrate this, I thought I would share pictures from our 2010 trip. Also, there are two important lessons we can reflect on when we think about Ellis Island! Side note for readers – this is a … More Ellis Island Reopens (two lessons)
Usually I welcome fall with open arms. We indulge in fall soccer, new jackets, and seasonal lattes. One year, I even bought jumbo pumpkins over Labor Day weekend and placed them on my porch as an early welcome to the transition of fall. But this year, I found myself yearning for a little more of … More More of summer…
Time flies You close your eyes – and six years have gone by. You open your eyes- to change, growth, and new ways Yet many things are not changed – same stuff- different day. However, as time flies…. our lives are lived. often measured by what we give. Also – by what … More Time Flies (poem)
While our family was driving to dinner the other night, the large Harvest moon caught everyone’s eye – and my husband looked at me and quietly said, “Moonbear lovvvvves the moon….” we both laughed lightly – and shared a warm smile as we instantly reflected back to our Denver, Colorado days of reading toddler books … More Moon bear loves the moon…
A while ago I heard the saying, “Winners have more losses than losers” – and while I do not like to think of anyone as a loser, and while I also do not like to view setback as a loss (because most hardships have much value)- I still like this saying because the message is … More winners have more losses
I have been missing Colorado this month, partly because in the 1990’s my hubby and I used to help with our church’s “kiddie camp” during this month. It was a week long labor of love that left unexpected warm memories. One year, we even left a beach side vacation days early (from Hilton Head) to … More Feeling Displaced?
