Three weeks ago, heavy rains and winds made their way through western North Carolina. Areas to our west in the North Carolina mountains suffered catastrophic damage that will take months, if not years to repair. Today I traveled to those areas to see what possibilities of service there were and the sights that I sawContinue reading “Visit to the Frontlines…”

It’s Been a While…
I had told myself I’d write one-hundred days on this blog and well, have fallen through again. While I write most every day in my journal, I have found it difficult to sit down at the keyboard and put my thoughts together. I guess I could just copy what I’ve written in my journal, butContinue reading “It’s Been a While…”
Cultural Heritage
I am most interested in the parts of my ancestral heritage that were involved in ministry. I am aware that several ancestors down the line were Lutheran ministers. I’ve done some research on their service in the ministry, finding that one helped found the local university I attended and received two degrees from. I justContinue reading “Cultural Heritage”
Tick-Tock Goes the Clock
I recently was rearranging some things in my house and moved a old clock from the living room to the bedroom. In the process, the grandfather clock started ticking and continued to do so for nearly three days. The grandfather clock was one that belonged to my maternal great grandfather. It needs to be woundContinue reading “Tick-Tock Goes the Clock”
House Cleaning
Neatness has never been one of my strong suits. Here of late, I’ve started making the effort to get things cleaned up and cleaned out around my home. It’s definitely not an easy proposition, but one that I’m hoping will make my house more like a home. Cleaning the house has never been an easyContinue reading “House Cleaning”
Writing Prompt of the Day – Sept. 6, 2024
I like to write in my journal and read books, mostly nonfiction. For the past three years, I have also taken daily walks of about four miles. While I’m walking, I listen to music or podcasts. I also like to hang out in local coffeeshops, read, write, and people-watch.
Day One of One-Hundred: The Journey of Life
I recently went on a hike on a trail just off the Blue Ridge Parkway. What started out as a short excursion turned out to be a five mile trek across some challenging trails. It occurred to me while I was on my journey, that life too can be that way. I was just goingContinue reading “Day One of One-Hundred: The Journey of Life”
False Start…Let’s Try That Again
Back on May 7th, I declared that I would be writing in my blog for one hundred days. Well, there’s been one post since that time. Life sometimes gets lifey, and as a result, I haven’t done much writing on this blog. And so on this day, I recommit to writing on my blog forContinue reading “False Start…Let’s Try That Again”
Creature of Habit….
I am told that I am a creature of habit. I’ve realized the truth about that statement. From the time I wake up to the time I go to sleep (or attempt to), I do a lot of the same things over and over. Morning Routine… When I wake up each day, first thing, andContinue reading “Creature of Habit….”
One Hundred Days of Writing Renewal…
I have decided that I will once again be on a journey of writing blog entries for one hundred days. I did this two years ago and thought this would be a good opportunity as we prepare to begin the summer season. I will, on some days, be using the WordPress writing prompt they supplyContinue reading “One Hundred Days of Writing Renewal…”
