If you recall, we ended Alice’s last adventure with the birds and animals and Alice swimming from her pool of tears to shore. What a bedraggled, ‘queer-looking party’ stood on shore. (My! but our lack of self-control can have serious repercussions on so many others besides our self.) Thankfully,Mouse had a plan though on howContinue reading “Part III Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland”

Part II Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland

Failing in her attempt to climb up the table, she decides to eat a little cake left in a box underContinue reading “Part II Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland”
Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland
For Christmas I received a ‘listening library’ of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland from Jon M. I found it interesting on reading the cover of it that the author, Lewis Carroll was such a diverse person, a mathematician, photographer and clergyman. At Sara’s suggestion, I would like to share some observations and thoughts as I enjoyContinue reading “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland”
I’m a Teapot
When I was little we didn’t go to the doctor much. There wasn’t enough money.

The water would gradually drain throughContinue reading “I’m a Teapot”

Jesus is the Lily
As I have journeyed on this earth, my heart has been retched by numerous things. One of those things is a young child who has lost one of their parents at a very young age. You can see the deep hurt in them. They seem to stand strong, but it’s still there. I have knownContinue reading “Jesus is the Lily”
My Way or no way
How many times have we come up short with what we are told by God to do. It seems sometimes we don’t understand or don’t want to understand our horrible flaw of disobedience. I sometimes think that God needs to hit me over the head to show me what it is like for him toContinue reading “My Way or no way”

James just had a very interesting dream. His father would like to know what interpretation weContinue reading “A dream by a 9 year old”
Calling Names
In view of a recent report of children calling their own classmates names, intending to put a derogatory slant on a particular ethnic group or other, I came upon the Epistle of James and found great enlightenment in his teaching concerning prejudices of every sort. In the Old Testament Almighty God was exclusive in admittingContinue reading “Calling Names”
