Written thoughts, uncluttered mind. Monday, July 6, 2015. CHINA: Part 1.first impressions. First, it's big. the cities are big, the tables are big, the train stations are big, the hotels are big.Everything is SUPER sized and remarkable CLEAN. You don't see a lot of other westerners. and being a westerner is no big deal. I love not standing out even though you know you look like no one else there. When you go shopping, there will be a lot of noise. It isn't enough that they have window displays.im...CHINA...

Written thoughts, uncluttered mind. Monday, June 1, 2015. One year ago.my last was graduating.

Written thoughts, uncluttered mind. Tuesday, July 21, 2015. China #3: The people. We saw old building, new buildings, towers, new places that looked like old places. We went to restaurants that had been around for 100 years, they showed us how to eat and what to eat these traditional savory dishes. They wandered with us in traditional places that they enjoyed as much as we did. They complained about the heat, the smog, the traffic as we did. About the long and winding road. Wednesday, July 8, 2015. If th...

Written thoughts, uncluttered mind. Tuesday, May 26, 2015. Memorial Monday on Tuesday: Losing our way. When God says He will lead the blind in a Way that they do not know and in paths that they have not known.is He talking metaphorically or literally? Lately, I can't seem to find my way out of this sense that I am not where I am supposed to be. It is a unsettling. I am not restless, I am unsettled. Maybe, I just need the sea for I have done the sweat and the tears. About the long and winding road. The Ho...

http://papuabound.blogspot.com/2015/06/single-parents-need-tribe-part-2.html
Written thoughts, uncluttered mind. Thursday, June 18, 2015. Single parents need a tribe: Part 2. My last post was parenting advice under 'normal' situations. What happens when you are in a situation where you are parenting single? Since I did this for a season and parented under a situation where having a good marriage was a MAJOR work in progress.I understand this about single parenting. You can be or are a most excellent parent. You have to work really hard at the simple things. No one has your back.

When thoughts articulate: CHINA: Part 2...the love affair with the food
http://papuabound.blogspot.com/2015/07/china-part-2the-love-affair-with-food.html
Written thoughts, uncluttered mind. Wednesday, July 8, 2015. CHINA: Part 2.the love affair with the food. The moment we arrived to the last meal before we left was an event. It was a presentation for the senses, a new experience for the palate, an insight into the country through its food. We started off with Peking duck and ended with Wuxi fish.I started by asking what it was we were eating in such a beautiful dish, to just eating it and realizing that it most likely was going to be good. You sit around...

Written thoughts, uncluttered mind. Wednesday, November 19, 2014. Happy Birthday to my Dad.85 well lived years. About the long and winding road. Tuesday, November 4, 2014. Ponder the path of your feet. Let your eyes look directly forward, and your gaze be straight before you. Ponder the path of your feet; then all your ways will be sure. Do not swerve to the right or the left; turn your foot away from evil. How easy is it for you to get distracted? There is such freedom in that.I am where I am and wi...

Written thoughts, uncluttered mind. Wednesday, October 22, 2014. That old feeling again. The week before was a slow withdrawal from family life to school life as we packed our little suitcases. We heard over and over again from my parents how exciting and fun being at school would be. They said it so often that we began to anticipate the 'fun' of it all knowing all along how terrible it would feel to be away from them. About the long and winding road. Tuesday, October 7, 2014. But, I should be . Deliver ...

Written thoughts, uncluttered mind. Thursday, September 25, 2014. It takes a long time to grow young". 8220;For we have sinned and grown old and our Father is younger than we.”. And we, who with unveiled faces all reflect the Lord's glory are being transformed with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit. 1 Cor. 3:18. But those who wait upon God get fresh strength. They spread their wings and soar like. 8220;It takes a long time to grow young.” P. Picaso. Who is quite like you?
