This morning I had reason to ruminate on the Joseph of Genesis. There was something in my mind that made me want to listen to a particular part of his story. The story of Joseph interpreting the cup bearer’s (and the baker’s) dream is what I wanted a refresher on, but I picked up right before that part and continued listening for awhile, up past the part where the brothers and then Jacob went into Egypt, and on past when...

Both a grandfather and a great-grandfather of mine were pretty much contemporary colleagues of sorts– school teachers in the early 1900’s. My father’s maternal grandfather, Harmon Grimm, taught school school near Trego, Maryland. I do not know what ages or any details, but a family member said he also had a side hustle selling cut timber. My mother’s father, John Curry Linger, was a school teacher in Buckhannon, West Virginia. He also managed a family homestead and it is reported...

It’s almost 5:30 pm here on another mad Monday…with a lot going on. I pause to share this talk that I’ve eleven minutes into while doing dishes (after making two quiches, a blackberry pie and ham soup for my next several days). In between a multitude of other tasks. This is going to be an interesting discussion and many, like me, may have time (or make time) to listen to worthy conversations while driving, washing dishes and perhaps even working...

I am gripped with heavy, heavy sorrow – gripped with remorse. I am gripped with not only remorse, but I am gripped with fear. I am gripped with fear because I fear my son is gone. As I continue to apprehend the depth of the evil that has overcome my family, I discover new levels of the horror of it all. And there is nothing, seemingly, that I can do to fix it. May God have mercy. And I don’t...

In mid-April of this past year, a family member sent me a DM with a photo of my son and his partner, standing together and holding an ultrasound announcing they were to be the parents of twins. She even joked along the lines of “lol” is this April fools? I had already received the difficult news the day before from a sensitive, true and caring person in my life concerning the news that not only was I going to be...

I am a visual artist who works in a variety of mediums - producing fine art, illustration and design commissions/products for clients. I have been creating since childhood and sharing my giftings for hire since 1989. I also love to write and have been expressing in this way for a number of years in private poems, stories and journals that have been shared with treasured friends or publicly. Thank you for visiting my blog. I value the time and interest you spend on my expressions, and I read every comment.
