Sacred Everydays

…From a devotional by Ann Voskamp…with much gratitude.

“This is the wonder: that of all the days of the year, the most important one is the everyday. The everydays that are the most days of the year. These, the most days of our lives.
I think about these everydays that have kids hanging paintings on the fridge and me taking sun-dried sheets in off the line, these are the important days. Everydays when I trip over LEGOs and the laundry mounts into its very own range and I finally think of something to make for dinner when the head's weary tired and I set out the dishes and they all come. All this.

This is the sacred everyday.I can miss it. How holy the moments are.

How do we find ways to somehow live awake to the astonishing, ordinary wonder of all this?
How do we find ways to somehow live so that everyday is consecrated?
We must find ways.
For the ways we live our everydays is the way we live our lives.”

Psalm 105:1
Give thanks to the Lord and proclaim his greatness.
Let the whole world know what He has done.

Los perros son para el verano

ENUF!!

I live in Northern New Jersey and …need I even say it?

I love snow, the powder puff trees, the pristine beauty of it
sparkling in the sun as if the ground had been sprinkled with
thousands of tiny diamonds, the clean, fresh “newness” of it.





I love building snowmen and making snow angels, snowball
fights…being a kid again and simply enjoying all that cold, fluffy
white stuff. Even makes the world seem clean and bright and
unsullied, covered in it’s blanket of unblemished white…almost
sinless.

However, the shoveling, playing musical streets with the plows,
the black ice, the frozen slush, and the weird neighbors and
super-paranoid or idiot drivers, are definitely not fun!

Enough is too much for now. Save some for next year…
PLEEZE!!

Got this photo from a friend, it is definitely worth a thousand words…:o)

Under GOD

I pray, along with so many others, that we still are one nation under GOD.
One man who is using his gift to glorify God and produce a visual prayer for our
nation is Jon McNaughton.

His hope is one that many of us share. See more of his work at his website,

Back and Forth

This is a video that was submitted in a contest by a 20-year old.
This video won second place in a contest sponsored by AARP and was titled “u@50“.
A palindrome reads the same backwards as forward. This video reads the
exact opposite backwards as forward.

Not only does it read the opposite,
the meaning is the exact opposite.

This is only a 1 minute, 44 second video and it is brilliant. Make sure
you read, as well as listen,.forward and backward.
