Black (Dog) Friday
In honor of Black Friday, let’s celebrate black dogs! Whoot! Whoot! Bruno, Millie and Barack (aka Randy), are beautiful Olde English Bulldogges. They are all black and white, and similarly marked, yet each are unique in age, size, build and temperament. I have also been acquainted with them at different times in their lives. TwoContinue reading “Black (Dog) Friday”
Happy Thanksgiving
In 25 years, this is the first Thanksgiving that I have not spent with my mother sitting at my table. Although it was sad, I was able to experience her via Zoom – the COVID-busting technology that has allowed us to stay connected, socially distant, and safe. It was also the first time my brotherContinue reading “Happy Thanksgiving”
Baking Makes Me Forget
For the second time in three days, I have failed to make a blogpost before midnight. Why? I was baking. I was caught up in the whirring of the mixer, the precision of the measurements, the baking time and results. Instead of watching the clock, I was minding the oven. And in the midst ofContinue reading “Baking Makes Me Forget”
Twisted and Tangled Tuesday
Bitty, black bulldogs barely bark before breakfasts of bacon and blueberries. Bitty, black bulldogs barely bark before breakfasts of bacon and blueberries. Bitty, black bulldogs barely bark before breakfasts of bacon and blueberries.
Happy Belated Yesterday
What have I learned? . . . That I love baking more than watching the clock to complete my other commitments in a timely fashion – namely, this blog post! So I have, once again, ruined my string of consecutive posts. And guess what? Today, I am not even said about it. Today it isContinue reading “Happy Belated Yesterday”
No Mess, No Ministry
Cleaning up dog poop hardly seems like a ministry, but I am a servant of the kennel and its dwellers, and with that comes the “opportunity” to minister multiple times per day! Dogs can be messy, and people can, too! Worse yet, people can reek havoc on lives like a real “shit-nado”! (That is weather-speakContinue reading “No Mess, No Ministry”
“Worm Would” and the Patient
Wormwood – Heb. la’anah, the Artemisia absinthium of botanists. It is noted for its intense bitterness ( Deuteronomy 29:18 ; Proverbs 5:4 ; Jeremiah 9:15 ; Amos 5:7 ). It is a type of bitterness, affliction, remorse, punitive suffering. In Amos 6:12 this Hebrew word is rendered “hemlock” (RSV, “wormwood”). In the symbolical language of the Apocalypse ( Revelation 8:10 Revelation 8:11 ) a star is represented asContinue reading ““Worm Would” and the Patient”
My Joy is Full
Ahhhhhh! A tall, ice-filled glass of Diet Coke! Is there any better picture of joy that is full and overflowing?! All who know me, know that my dark liquid of choice is Diet Coke. I like it extremely cold and fizzy fresh! It is an indulgent treat that I allow myself to enjoy in 12-ounceContinue reading “My Joy is Full”
Dog Supplies the Green Belt Way
Today is a day of celebration! I completed my Lean Six Sigma Green Belt Training! Completing this journey with a virtual instructor has been interesting. While the teacher facilitated the learning, the computer screen showed the slides. Without live video or Zoom technology, the experience was reminiscent of the wizard in The Wizard of Oz.Continue reading “Dog Supplies the Green Belt Way”
