No Destination

If you’re new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!Susan thinks of agoraphobia as a black hole of sorts, something that exists within her own house, sucking her toward it, not releasing her into the universe. The black hole is a comfort. She exists quite comfortably in its […]

What Your House Says About You

It says:
Your personality analysis based on this drawing:You are an open person and have a willingness to interact with others.You have a fragile ego.You have a desire to live alone.You long to be loved.
This is pretty fun. The final screen left out some aspects of my beautiful drawing. I like drawing with these basic programs […]

Destination?

For Sunday Scribblings.
My goal is not to have one. For too long now, I have always scrurried along towards a better place than I currently was, often sliding backwards in the process. I am in the spring, summer, fall and winter of my discontent. It is always there. I need to stop focusing on a […]

I Did It!

That is, drove with my mom out to the property that I want to buy. Funny, huh, how I want to buy property that is difficult for me to drive to? I asked her if she would drive me out there every day during the break so that I can get used to it. Today, […]

Getting Rid of Christmas

It is the same old thing–spending too much money and having too much stress. Now that […]

And in his name all oppression shall cease.
Wow. Have a blessed Christmas.

Cat Head Theatre

Especially for you cat lovers out there, such as Pacian. Older Son and I watched it, and I had an asthma attack from an unexpected fit of laughing until I sounded like a donkey.

Change

Last night, I was reading an interview in Sojourners with James Loney, who is a Christian Peacemaker team member who was held captive in Iraq for four months. In the middle of the interview, something he said really resonated with me.
“I imagined that our daily task was to build a Palace of The Present Moment, […]

The Last Day of School–A Litany

It has been a challenging day.
The challenges began with an almost flat tire in morning. Three of my tires didn’t even register air pressure with the gauge. I filled them up. Problem solved.
At work, a projectile landed on a kid’s desk. The kid jumped up, screaming, “It stinks so bad, it stinks!” and generally throwing […]

KIWI

Award-winning…definitely worth a watch if you haven’t seen it.
