Susan's Sitting Room: January 2015
http://susanssittingroom.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
Thoughts about life and faith. Friday, January 30, 2015. Are You Fulfilling Your Purpose? God made us to be worshipers. That was the purpose of God in bringing us into the world." - A. W. Tozer. Are you fulfilling your purpose today? Or is "worship" something you think of as a Sunday-only activity? Is "worship" equated only with music? How do you define "worship"? And if Tozer is right, and worship is the purpose for which God brought us into the world,. Are you fulfilling that purpose? When we read that...

Susan's Sitting Room: December 2014
http://susanssittingroom.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
Thoughts about life and faith. Wednesday, December 31, 2014. Starting Fresh - Getting Ready for 2015. It's that time again! As this day comes to an end and tomorrow begins, we mark the beginning of a new year. Time to take the old calendar off the wall and hang a fresh new one. Time for fresh clean pages in the planner. Time for a fresh start. I don't know about you, but it seems to me that 2014 just flew by! Well, here's a news flash for you. I don't do New Year's Resolutions! I need to lose. As an exam...

Susan's Sitting Room: September 2014
http://susanssittingroom.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html
Thoughts about life and faith. Friday, September 26, 2014. Living Loud - Part II. Yesterday we focused on living loud for Jesus, living out our faith with enthusiasm and abandonment. But what does that mean exactly? And how do we do that, practically speaking? For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek." (Romans 1:16 ESV). Do you think of yourself as a "bold" person? Are you "bold" in living out your faith?

Susan's Sitting Room: August 2015
http://susanssittingroom.blogspot.com/2015_08_01_archive.html
Thoughts about life and faith. Monday, August 31, 2015. Life on the Road: Memory Lane. We took a trip down Memory Lane on Saturday. We began the day reconnecting with friends from our Minnesota years. They presently live in New Hampshire and were on their way to Connecticut for the weekend; we met up at the Cracker Barrel in Holyoke, Massachusetts. Yes, there are Cracker Barrels in New England! And that's something worth remembering! This I recall to my mind, therefore I have hope. The LORD's lovingk...

Susan's Sitting Room: May 2015
http://susanssittingroom.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html
Thoughts about life and faith. Thursday, May 28, 2015. Prayer pulls the rope down below and the great bell rings above in the ears of God. Some scarcely stir the bell, for they pray so languidly; others give only an occasional jerk at the rope. But he who communicates with heaven is the man who grasps the rope boldly and pulls continuously with all his might." - Charles H. Spurgeon. What powerful words from this great preacher of days gone by! As the old hymn says,. Have you pulled the rope today? How do...

Susan's Sitting Room: October 2014
http://susanssittingroom.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
Thoughts about life and faith. Friday, October 31, 2014. Yesterday I had my annual appointment with my eye doctor. All is well on that front, in case you were wondering. For several hours after the appointment I had to endure the effects of having my eyes dilated. That's the worst part of the whole experience, in my humble opinion. Well, that and the really bright light that gets shined into your dilated eyes to check your retinas. Out of focus. It really is a frustrating condition. I miss the twinkle in...

Tea in England | London’s Cabbie Tea Huts
http://teainengland.com/2012/12/londons-cabbie-tea-huts
London’s Cabbie Tea Huts. December 31, 2012. There are so many, many things I love about London. The most endearing sights for me, as a tealover, are these adorable little green buildings known as Cabmen’s Shelters or, as I call them, Cabbie Tea Huts. These shelters were built in Victorian times as places where a London taxi driver could grab a cup of tea and a sandwich. They serve the same purpose today. Chelsea Embankment near the Albert Bridge. Grosvenor Gardens west side of north garden. This 3/4-pin...

Susan's Sitting Room: Life on the Road: After One Month
http://susanssittingroom.blogspot.com/2015/08/life-on-road-after-one-month.html
Thoughts about life and faith. Thursday, August 6, 2015. Life on the Road: After One Month. Today marks one month of our life on the road. One month ago, July 6, we left home and began our journey around the country. So far we have traveled about 4500 miles, been in 16 states, and slept in 18 different hotels. Along the way we have seen some spectacular scenery and eaten some amazing food. And we've had some that wasn't so great! This really is quite an adventure, and one I'm grateful to experience.

Susan's Sitting Room: Puzzled
http://susanssittingroom.blogspot.com/2015/07/puzzled.html
Thoughts about life and faith. Friday, July 31, 2015. These quiet mornings alone in a hotel room while Al is teaching his class are good times for reading and reflecting and pondering. Good times to think about some of the things going on in the world and about a lot of the things I just don't understand. The level of outrage over this lion astonishes me. Where is the outrage over the sale of pre-born baby parts by Planned Parenthood? To play a game. Even more bizarre than that, there were fans here ...
