Tuesday, November 19, 2013. King Solomon Takes on Pinterest. I think sometimes we are too hard on King Solomon. True, he was rich, was probably spoiled, but was also very human, meaning that he too, had those. You know, where his gold rimmed chariot developed a funny rattle and his two hundred talent sandals tore a strap and where the chef served roast. Fowl when he had specifically ordered fried. Or was he uncannily wise with some hunch about the future? It's a used dryer sheet wreath, in case you can't...

written down big: A face for Ebola
http://writtendownbig.blogspot.com/2014/08/a-face-for-ebola.html
Tuesday, August 12, 2014. A face for Ebola. My heart breaks a couple times a day. Whenever I look at the headlines and remember our friends, my heart just sinks. Granted, I have more in this personally than the average American, and so what I have to say here comes from my heart, not my head. I realize that every word is true, but Liberians are more than all that. They are funny, warm, friendly, and creative. They have faces. That takes a special kind of person, a Christ-like kind of person, a life-givin...

Kierra Raine and Co. Some folks call her handicapped, we call her our Wildflower Child. Monthly Archives: January 2015. January 20, 2015. It’s nearing the end of January. That means it will soon be a year since Kierra joined the angels in heaven. Last year we had spent lots of time in the hospital. She would have her favorite blanket to hang onto and her cutest outfits to make the room feel more cozy. And when I had some extra time, I would paint our toenails with matching polish. So you are all official...

Kierra Raine and Co. Some folks call her handicapped, we call her our Wildflower Child. Monthly Archives: June 2015. He Knows What He’s Doing. June 27, 2015. Remember when your hope is lost and faith is shaken. Remember when you wonder if you’re going to make it. There’s a hand stretched out through your deepest doubt. We can’t pretend to see the ending. Or what’s coming up ahead. Don’t know the story of tomorrow. But we can stay close to the One who knows. We can trust our God. Though it might hurt now.

Kierra Raine and Co. Some folks call her handicapped, we call her our Wildflower Child. Monthly Archives: May 2015. The Colors Of Joy. May 21, 2015. There is new life all around us. Nature bursting at the seams with birdsong and lilacs and green grass and fruit blossoms. Shy buds opening slowly, unfurling tender blooms. Tiny herbs lifting fragrant savory green heads toward the sunshine. And a table for two that My Love surprised me with for Mother’s Day. Painting by the River with your paint loving son.

Kierra Raine and Co. Some folks call her handicapped, we call her our Wildflower Child. August 6, 2015. It’s already August. That magical month between the glorious July of summer and the autumn tones of chilly September. We packed our July so full I didn’t have time to catorgize all the memories but they are stored safe and sound in my heart. Hot showers, bathrooms, and a laundry made it very comfy and the all night rain was actually nearly as delightful music as a lullaby. That’s serious stuff :).

Kierra Raine and Co. Some folks call her handicapped, we call her our Wildflower Child. Monthly Archives: July 2015. July 27, 2015. It seems when I boldly declare my stand for Christ and His promises, that crafty Satan comes weaseling depressing thoughts and degrading hopeless words into my mind. This weekend we spent some time with Steve’s folks camping and also some time just with the three of us. Emotions can do that too. Eventually the original struggle has morphed into so many little tendrils th...
