Socks for 5; Prayer for 9

Blue Cotton Memory

I drive my boys nuts telling them stories they’ve heard and heard – and I thought, well, I want to tell this story again. My new daughter-in-law says it’s a family trait, one she’s getting used to.

the old man in the garden

Blue Cotton Memory

(I’ve been in the garden this week – thinning, transplanting, planting anew. God met me there, in my garden, letting me take care of things that need planting right now, things that need extra care and attending to – and me, the plantings, we all have needed the refreshing waters, the resting before the growing.  I’ve been reviewing my writing … Continue reading →
