May #jammed: Growing Grace. Day 140: One of a kind. “Do not envy evil people or seek their friendship.” Proverbs 24:1 “Please secure all loose articles …” the instructional speakers droned as seatbelt were fastened and restraints secured. “…we will not be responsible for anything lost or damaged.” Amusement parks recover treasure troves of lost things […]
May #jammed: Growing Grace. Day 138: Fear is weak. “an immoral woman is a narrow well.” Proverbs 23:27 “Did you have fun?” I asked my daughter after she rode the tallest roller coaster she is permitted to ride at her height. “I closed my eyes the whole time,” she said, pale as a ghost. It took […]
May #jammed: Growing Grace. Day 137: The wrong spot. “Make your parents happy“ Proverbs 23:22 “Oh, no, MOM!” my daughter wailed, “our bench is gone.” We’d been stopping eat lunch on our favorite bench since she was just a little toddler.

May #jammed: Growing Grace. Day 133:Unneeded. “Do not withhold discipline from children.” Proverbs 23:13 (VOICE) They are still a permanent part of my pen holder. During a season riddled with health issues, I obtained a set of reading glasses to correct odd headaches. Looking at a screen through different lenses didn’t cure me like it had […]
May #jammed: Growing Grace. Day 132: Reminded. “Apply your heart to instruction and your ears to words of knowledge.” Proverbs 23:12 The pink morning sky made my feet light as I hurried to the end of the pier. Warm morning air, boats leaving the river, and the first orange glint of the sun …made me want to […]
May #jammed: Growing Grace. Day 131: More to the story. “Do not move an ancient boundary stone…”Proverbs 23:10 (NIV) “I found one! I found one!” my littles screeched in delight. Dozens of perfect sandollars. So fragile that they are hard to find in one piece, that day we managed to fill buckets full after the stormy […]
