Scripture Sunday

In the Footsteps of the Minister

Today in church we talked about ministering to others.  Personally, I do not feel like there has been a change... well maybe in vocabulary and that is it.  I believe that God has always ask us to be ministers. The dictionary says that to "minister" means to attend to the needs of others. Christ has… Continue reading In the Footsteps of the Minister

#bethelight – Day 182

Most of the time my efforts at kindness on the Sabbath revolve around family and church worship.  It is where I spend my day on the Sabbath.  Actually, the slow down of life that the Sabbath brings is a great act of kindness.  God is really smart to make the Sabbath a day of rest. … Continue reading #bethelight – Day 182

#bethelight – Day 180 and 181

Yesterday I was gone all day was not able to blog about my kind act for the day.  However, I did some kind things yesterday... I was "the choir" mom.  I rode the bus.  I brought snacks.  I carried everyone's stuff.  I cheered them on as they competed in the state choir competition. Today I… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 180 and 181

Dancing Through Life and Into May

What a week!  John and I worked in the garden last Saturday.  We got the strawberry box ready to go and a boxed cleaned, rototiller, and planted lettuce, swiss chard, broccoli, cauliflower, and cabbage.  We have to more boxes to go.  I really wanted to work on them today but... that didn't happen.  It will… Continue reading Dancing Through Life and Into May

Theatre Thursday

Humble Confidence

I have been thinking a lot about this quote lately.  I think it has become my motto in the past month because I am seeing so many people who feel they are "too good" to take a small part, to learn something more, or to need real rehearsal. Dame Judi Dench is one of the… Continue reading Humble Confidence

#bethelight – Day 179

Today I decided that my oldest kid needed some mom TLC... so for my act of kindness today I took her lunch, brought "fancy" pizza for dinner, and fought with her lawn mower for 1.5 hours in a feeble attempt to mower her yard.  Sadly, I am not sure I made a difference.  Between the… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 179

Warrior Wednesday

A Warrior is an Optimist

One of the greatest "Warrior Women" I know is my friend Jo. She moved away and man, I miss her. I miss our chats and our mutual rants. I miss her wild hair ideas and the "projects" she gets me into. I miss her support of my activities and I miss supporting her in her… Continue reading A Warrior is an Optimist

It’s Time to Bring Back and Rethink Home Economic Classes

Sorry to burden you all again, but it's time to get out the soap box about education again. I've done a fair bit of stomping for the arts in past posts. Be sure to go back and check them out here and here and here. I am a definite fan of music and theatre in the… Continue reading It’s Time to Bring Back and Rethink Home Economic Classes

#bethelight – Day 178

Some days I get so caught up in the hustle and bustle of the day that I often need little reminders to think outside of myself and think of others. I do know that a small gesture of kindness can not only make someone else's day, it makes me feel good too. So why don't… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 178
