We recently got a new puppy, Isabelle (Izzy for short), a schnauzer/westie mix that weighs just over six pounds right now, a white, wiry haired, wriggling little girl who is the size of a cat with the tendencies of a canine. When I open the utility room door in the morning, she cannons outContinueContinue reading “Advent Day 2: The Advocate”

Advent Day 1: God With Us
Today begins the first of a series of advent posts that consider the coming of Emmanuel, God with us, and what that means to those of us who came over 2,000 years after the Son of God was born in Bethlehem. In one of my favorite Hollywood prayers, Ricky Bobby begins his family meal, “DearContinueContinue reading “Advent Day 1: God With Us”
Goals and Resolutions in 2015
Given the new job/new house/new routine thing that transpired in 2014 and the lingering sinus congestion that is fogging up my head, my resolution/goal list for 2015 is feeling a bit unambitious and uninspired. However, there are a few things I know I want to aim for in 2015.New Year’s Resolutions 2015:Read or listen toContinueContinue reading “Goals and Resolutions in 2015”

End of the Residency 2012
I put Henry to sleep tonight at 6 p.m. I have a feeling I will pay for this at 6 a.m. tomorrow, or earlier, but he was just SO tired. He fell asleep while eating. And Henry loves to eat, so it’s something for which he usually tries to stay awake. I thought he’d get upContinueContinue reading “End of the Residency 2012”
Swimming in Troubled Waters: Writing about Faith
I started another essay a month or so ago that is about (or will be about) swimming, obedience, and faith. It starts with Elvis jumping into the pool at swimming lessons after his floatation device was off and nearly drowning. I want to return to working on the thing but I just haven’t had theContinueContinue reading “Swimming in Troubled Waters: Writing about Faith”
Message for Christmas from Last Year
I thought it would be fun to look back on a couple of posts from earlier years, and my post from Christmas last year was a nice reminder about this season. So here’s a link to last year’s meditation on the season…http://driftwoodtumble.blogspot.com/2010/12/keeping-christ-in-christmas.html

It has been one very busy month, which is my lame excuse for not blogging. My self-imposed once-a-week blogging rule broke to pieces all over the internet. A whole month. No writing. Gah.BUT, all is not lost. I ran a half-marathon last Saturday with my mom. (Me! Non-athletic, uncoordinated, Walker’s World me!) We ran itContinueContinue reading “No Writing November?”
The Day in Two Parts
I.Tonight I want to be ten pounds lighter. I want to have written more pages of an essay that sounds brilliant instead of boring even to me. I want to have weeded my back patio more thoroughly. I want my day lilies to still be blooming in two and a half weeks but I knowContinueContinue reading “The Day in Two Parts”
