Prayers and Thoughts for Our Christian Blogger

A few days ago I received an email from the daughter of our Christian blogger, Dale Harcombe. There was some ups and downs with her move and her new Internet install was delayed. A couple of days after that, I received more bad news: Dale broke her arm and it will be very difficult for her to type. Due to this, I’d like to ask for prayers and good thoughts to be sent Dale’s way. Life is difficult enough without a curve ball or three thrown in our direction. The Christian blog will be taking a bit of a hiatus … Continue reading →

Making Difficult Decisions Through Prayer

Posted on by

Recently, I was faced with a difficult decision to make. Without going into too much detail, it was very personal, and involved one of my children. I needed the help of the Lord to make this decision. There were lots of emotions involved, and I kept questioning my feelings. It seemed hard to distinguish whether or not I was receiving revelation or just simple thoughts in my mind. I struggled with this issue for a few months. It wasn’t until I had a fleeting thought, and pondered on it that I realized that the Spirit was trying to whisper something … Continue reading →

Simple Prayers by Michael Golding Book Review

Simple Prayers by Michael Golding needs to be unwrapped slowly, savored, tasted, smelled, rolled around on the tongue to catch both the bitter and the sweet. Then again, comparing this novel to a complex confection, a tired cliche, doesn’t do it justice. “Pansies, chrysanthemums, violets, daisies, lilies, lilacs, pinks. Their perfume sent wild ribbons into the air, and their color woke the rabbits. Spring had finally come to Riva di Pignoli. And flowers were just the beginning.” The novel takes place in a small island near Venice in the fourteenth century, a setting that is both dreamlike and throbbing with … Continue reading →

Irish Sayings, Phrases, Prayers, and Curses

Posted on by

It has been said that the Irish have a way with words. If you have Irish heritage then you probably grew up hearing certain phrases, sayings, or even curses, that came from the mouths of your Irish relatives. Here are a few that you might recognize. Last year, I went to my sister’s wedding and was able to visit with family members that I had not seen for years. Two of my Irish great-aunts spent some time talking with my husband, whom they had not met before. He said that some of the turns of phrase they used made him … Continue reading →
