Music Is Memory
It doesn’t happen as often as it used to, but today I had the opportunity to just listen to music and color. In hindsight, not having anything “fun” to do on my phone definitely helped. I don’t remember what precipitated it, but I thought of a song from Hawk Nelson’s first album, Letters To The…

A Snow Day!
Today I woke up to a snow day. As a self-employed person, I have the luxury of taking the day off when the sky decides to dump 6 inches of snow. Thankfully I had cleared the schedule when they began threatening the amount of snow we were supposed to get. I’m really glad I did,…

Endings Bring New Beginnings
This weekend I am on the last Christmas/New Year’s, help-people-with-their-dogs adventure for at least two weeks. I promise I really did quit dog-sitting as a business. Last year Erica would wonder how much “quitting” was actually had… Speaking of Last Year Erica… I was thinking about a year ago today. I remember how tired and…

Treasure! (A Hot Cheeto Story)

A New Hope
A few months ago, one of my mom’s friends, who also happens to be a Golden Retriever breeder, was “given” a dog. A Golden Retriever of course, that she could breed with one of her males. No problem, right? Except things seemed off with this new dog in the house. It wasn’t bad, necessarily. It…

Light and Dark
In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was without form and void, and darkness was over the face of the deep… And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. And God saw that the light was good. And God separated the light from the darkness. God called…

Quiet Mountains
It wasn’t until this past weekend, when I was in the mountains for the first time as an adult, that I realized I’m not so much shocked by the majesty of the mountains, but the quiet of them. Sound seems to carry differently in and around the mountains, as if it swallows up the unnecessary…
