Singleness and Grace Part 1
The next couple posts will be on the same theme and in several parts. They will reflect on a lot of my journey as a single person. I don't subscribe to the 'Singleness is a gift' millieu. Maybe it's just me. But I do believe it is a Journey and that God gives us Grace … Continue reading Singleness and Grace Part 1
Choose your own Ending.
my brother in the 1980's before he died. When I was a child I loved those Choose-your-own-adventure stories. Anyone, remember those? I loved that I could choose my own ending, if I wasn’t happy with the original. Being a writer, I would often go away and rewrite my own ending anyway. I wanted an ending … Continue reading Choose your own Ending.

Which has the dual purpose of avoiding crowds and cleaning out my craft cupboard. 🙂 Oh and of course it saves me money as … Continue reading Avoiding the Crowd

“Seeing that a Pilot steers the ship in which we sail, who will never allow us to perish even in the midst of shipwrecks, there is no reason why our minds should be overwhelmed with fear and overcome with weariness. ” ― John Calvin Somebody sent me the above quote. I was not ready to … Continue reading In The Midst of Shipwrecks
