Older than the hills, I've had direct experience with the things that work--or don't work--in the public school system, in personal life and community life. A resident of California and a descendant of immigrants from the land of the midnight sun and Northern Europe, I have a great love of my People.

A mother of one, I appreciate the blessing of motherhood and wish the best for all our children, God willing, not just survival but that they (paraphrasing 1 Thessalonians 4) increase more and more; that they also aspire to lead quiet lives, to mind their own business, and to work with their own hands, that they may walk properly toward those who are outside, and that they may lack nothing. Blessings!

The Power of Regret

  • February 24, 2011   

How many times have you heard someone say, “When I die, I will have no regrets?” And how many times have you looked at the fruit of the speaker’s life and have thought that she surely must have some regrets, for the fruit of her life wasn’t all that lovely? Broken marriages, career-obsession, wayward children and who knows what all else tumble in the wake of selfish actions. Still, the person thinks she will have no regrets. Why? Because she was “true to herself.” She “followed her heart.”

Love Them As They Are

It’s easy to become critical of our husbands and children as the years move on, and we think we understand them better than they themselves could; sometimes we think we understand them better than God could, although that is impossible.

All parents remember the first steps their child took as he launched himself, wobbling, towards their waiting arms. Those steps were tiny steps, unsure, but very determined. Your smiling baby[…]

    Remember the days of old; consider the years of many generations; ask your father, and he will show you, your elders, and they will tell you. When the Most High gave to the nations their inheritance, when he divided mankind, he fixed the borders of the peoples according to the number of the sons of God. - Deuteronomy 32:7-8
