The past two weeks proved to be a wonderful, interesting time for me. I felt impressed to take a break from Twitter since that's the only social media I do unless you count this blog. I know Twitter has a bad reputation: "cesspool," "bullying," "unwholesome content," "vicious comments." I see that kind of stuff is … Continue reading On the Shelf

Six on Saturday: Walk Around the Yard
If you were approaching our backyard by the double gate, Shep would not be sitting calmly as he waits. He would be barking ferociously until you are within ten feet, then he’d run and hide. Our guard dog. The top photo shows not only our Australian Shepherd but the little red Encore Autumn Fire azalea … Continue reading Six on Saturday: Walk Around the Yard

Holiness, Part Two
Holiness is an old-fashioned word not well-received in our 21st-century culture. The image that comes to mind is of a couple of women out shopping. The older one has long hair, braided and piled on top of her head, and the younger has locks down to her waist. Both are without makeup in long denim … Continue reading Holiness, Part Two
