#bethelight – Day 237

Gosh... WHAT A DAY!  A long day at work at CET.  A dentist visit. And then, out of the kindness of my heart... putting together a float for the theatre kids to be in the parade tomorrow.  Although, in hindsight, I'm not sure many of these kids care.  Sure, they want audience to come support… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 237

I Can Win

Keeping it simple today.  I need this message today as much as anyone who might read my posts.  I hope it helps someone else too.

#bethelight – Day 236

There are days we feel deflated and overwhelmed.  Hurt, disappointment, bad news... it doesn't matter.  Sometimes you just have a lousy day.  On those days, when you are running on empty, there is always a glimmer of hope and something to be thankful for.  Albert Schweitzer said, "Sometimes our light goes out, but is blown… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 236

Menu Monday

Plant Power

My husband fixed my phone camera yesterday, so I will have pictures of foods next week!  I am so excited!  However, I did not get pictures of foods I ate last week. I am loving eating a plant powered diet.  My garden is giving me beautiful berries and lettuce.  The farmer's bounty basket is giving… Continue reading Plant Power

Scripture Sunday

Refining Moments

I've been pondering an idea for a couple of days... If we will be humble, the Lord will refine us. I am not being refined in some dramatic fashion.  It's on a small scale.  No Saul/Paul or Alma experiences happening here.  It's more like a little every day.  And frankly, though it is painful in… Continue reading Refining Moments

#bethelight – Day 235

All the flowers of all the tomorrows are in the seeds of today. - Indian Proverb I've been studying scriptures throughout the day... taking a break from me usual week activities.  This thought struck me today.  Listening is one of the greatest gifts we can give anyone.  We all want o to be heard.  Today… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 235

#bethelight – Day 233 and 234

Yesterday I took Lilli, John, Lilli's friend and Jeff to the Portland area to see Mama Mia.  It was good to get out and do some socializing. Today I donated 90 minutes of my time to someone think about renting the stage some time next year.  Although she clearly didn't understand why policies are as… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 233 and 234

Summer is Officially Here… CET Has Started

It is hard to believe that the end of June is here.  I am realizing more and more that we aren't very good at taking time off and recreating.  Our "recreation" revolves around work... or so it seems. Lilli and I spent time together working at the high school.  She wanted to learn the sound… Continue reading Summer is Officially Here… CET Has Started

#bethelight – Day 232

Every once in awhile I think it's important to surprise your kids with something nice. We were on our way to CET and I suddenly pulled into Dutch Brothers. Lilli loves to get a "freeze" at Dutch Brothers. There was a huge grin for that surprise. Also, I work for a program where I am… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 232
