I haven’t been to the creek lately, I have been sick with a cold in bed, staring at the sun from far away, and being oddly sensitive. I took time to watch some Tornado documentaries and shocked myself at how much it scared me. I was brought to tears multiple times. I watched one more today, than later on, sat sobbing, asking myself: “What is … Continue reading Digging for Hope
Conflict is happening again. Same problems months ago, no money, irritated and impatient people around me. Once again, I went to God in prayer, and laid everything down for him to take, told him I was waiting on answers like before. Months ago, in February, I went to the field, and sobbed helplessly begging God to do something. I did the same thing today only … Continue reading Don’t let me lose this…
I think we all have our playlists and songs that touch us. I spent two years heavily entrenched in BTS songs, and noticed that the fans could not get enough of the depth of some of their songs. I got too invested, and had to back off some, and find other music to listen to. Music has always touched me. In 2001, after 911, I … Continue reading Life is a Playlist
I went to my favorite place yesterday, the field below my house. As I walked along the creek, I always look back at the expansive field, and…saw a stick in the dead center sticking up out of the ground. I instantly tried to find meaning in it. I just do. God tries to get my attention sometimes. We had hurricane force winds last week come … Continue reading Finding Meaning without even trying
I wrote about this before, but deleted it because it was too basic. At the Vancouver Aquarium in Canada, they have had since July, a rescued Sea otter that started off as a baby, and is now grown up a lot. His Mother was killed. He is not fit to be released to the wild, so they keep him in water. He has changed location … Continue reading Because he is the only thing good left in this world
I look for ways to connect with God when I can, and the best way I know how is through creation. He made me this way, to care about it so much it would affect me. Problem is, I don’t understand what I am feeling. I found a song I love: Mree, In Your Eyes. This song is a beautiful experience. The video shows various … Continue reading Too Deep for Words
After reading once more, Bonnie Gray’s book: Spiritual Whitespace, I wanted to experience it. She says that we feel like God can only be found in church, or in Bible reading, but miss that he is with us in everyday things and events. She points out that he made us a certain way, with certain likes and dislikes and He can meet us there in … Continue reading Finding God in the space in between
I became aware of South Korea in 2018 when I was interested in BTS. After learning of them, I started to see videos pop up in my YouTube feed about Korean culture, so I clicked on it. The above shot is from this cool guy that goes around walking and filming Seoul. His channel on YT is called: Seoul Walker. (That is a link to … Continue reading What is it about South Korea? It seems special
Most of this blog has been written at my previous job as a Caregiver. In Mid July, on an early morning, I went outside to find the man I had cared for on the ground. He had a brief dementia moment that pushed him over the edge due to a raging infection. His walker was thrown on the ground, he had ripped off his pants … Continue reading A Look Back at a sad year
Last week, I walked around the side of the house, and saw yellow Lilies. I picked a few of them and then noticed that they closed up within hours. One of them never opened again, and the other one was open a full two days, and then slammed shut. So, I looked it up. They will close based off of humidity factors. I was running … Continue reading Closed Lily
