I will admit to thinking that there wouldn't be much for me in this chapter because I'm not really into drama. I was in a couple of plays when I was in school, and it was fun, but I wouldn't want a career in it. I was pleasantly surprised (and it shows how long it's …
I don't know how well known this song is. I discovered it one day when I was just sitting at the piano playing through hymns. I fell in love with it that first time and have played it many times since. I love to play and sing it when I'm in a contemplative mood. There …
This song has been such a blessing to me today because it speaks to something I am striving to make a reality in my life - that Christ would have the pre-eminence. I have always loved this song - the rich and meaningful words, the melody with its amazing harmony. I have played this song on …
This has been a busy week of sewing, sewing and more sewing. I've enjoyed it so much. It has felt awesome to clear out some of the projects in my mountainous pile of projects. I made four messenger bags - three for children and one for a lady friend. I also mended several things that …

It has been a long time since I posted, and I'm sorry, but I can plead server problems for my website, company, extra church meetings, glorious warm weather at last, the push to finish up our school year. All of these things have left little time or inclination to write anything. I'm not going to …
Wow! I just checked and it's been about a month since I did a "library" post. This isn't going to be a typical one. I thought that five months in, I should update how I'm doing on the 2016 Reading Challenge. Almost half way through the year and I only have about 20% of the …
