Nine months ago I felt that I got to hit the "Play" button on my life once more. For the nine months prior to that, I felt that my life had been put on "Pause." As a brand new blogger at the time, I wrote about that here. I say "felt" because feelings are not …
Welcome to "Bible Ponderings #7" which finds me in the midst of the major prophets in the chronological reading plan. Every few weeks I hope to toss out there what I'm currently reading and invite you to ponder with me! After the reign of King David's son Solomon, the nation of Israel splits into the …
Yes, we are! We left home via one highway and over seven thousand kilometers later came home via a different highway. Now that is one very big loop! We managed the great distances by staying at least two nights or longer in the same location so that in total, we only had a handful of …
Here's the approach to the rock at the very northernmost tip of Australia. I can laugh about it now (well, almost), but just ask my husband...I have been grumpily uncomfortable for the past few days. It was a typical night as far as this far north Queensland portion of our road trip goes. We had …

Every few weeks or so I hope to toss out there what I'm currently reading and invite you to ponder with me! Do you have a favourite Psalm? What emotions does it convey?
