Pacific R&R


The Ocean beckons me again! I’m flying to San Diego tomorrow morning. My blogging habits are going to be hit and miss for the next few weeks. I treasure, you, my blog buddies! You may not see me as often, but I’ll be thinking about you and remembering your requests in prayer!

Your throne was set in place a long time ago. You are eternal. The ocean rises, O LORD. The ocean rises with a roar. The ocean rises with its pounding waves. The LORD above is mighty- mightier than the sound of raging water, mightier than the foaming waves of the sea.
Psalm 93: 2-4

  1. Oh Sweetie...
    How exciting is that? Is it business or vacation? I love the sounds of the ocean and the calls of the seagulls as they scream out to each other. I love the sand beneath my feet, and the ocean mist on my face.

    Oh I hope you post occasionally or you must when you come back. I can't wait to see and hear all about it.

    Have a wonderful time sweetie, just a wonderful time.

    Many hugs sweetie and so much love, Sherry

  10. Mary, I pray that you have a wonderful time of refreshment while you are away. There's nothing like the sound of the ocean waves and the smell of the salt air to invigorate one. May the Lord provide you with much rest and relaxation.

    I created a photo collage of all the bloggers I've had the privilege to meet so far. Of course, your photo is included. It is on my Thursday post for when you return.

    Much love,
    Debbie

Book Review of Biblical Minimalism and Give Away

What does minimizing look like?  To the empty nester it may mean downsizing real estate.  To the co-dependent, it may mean pitching some toxic friendships they tend to collect.  I thought I had a handle on Biblical minimalism, but I wasn’t even close.  Biblical minimalism is much more than cleaning out a drawer and discarding unwanted things into a box to take to the thrift store. In her book, Biblical Minimalism, Cheryl E. Smith defines Biblical minimalism as “a complete, whole person release of anything unlike Jesus, a letting go of everything that hinders us from following Him wholeheartedly and single- mindedly , and a relinquishing of all that brings us under bondage to this earthly, very temporary life.” The author gives us a visual of a whole pie that is divided into eight slices.  Each slice describes our lives with areas to analyze to see if pruning or adjustment is needed.  I won’t name them all, but one example is the “emotional ...

Mama's Lipstick

I always wished I could do things with my mom like shop in the mall, share makeup secrets or go to the movies and watch romantic comedies.  My wish never materialized.     My mama behaved like a tomboy.   She loved baseball and pitched with a strong right arm.   She could care less about the latest fashion or the latest movies featured on the big screen.   She never polished her fingernails.    One day after elementary school, I walked into the house to find my mom all dolled up in front of the bathroom mirror, foundation crème, powder, eyebrow pencil and rouge all over the counter sink.  “Who are you?” I asked, thrilled to see my mama putting on the Ritz.  Makeup in place and blotted, she immediately took it off.  “I don’t like the way it feels,” she exclaimed. She retired in Arizona and protected her dry lips with a light rose lipstick, the color of natural lips, a step above ChapStick.  She wore it a few tim...

God Created Me!

Today is not only the last day of January, it’s my birthday.  You’re invited to my party!  I’ve got cake, ice cream, presents, and some inspiration about getting older!  Join me for some smiles. “Old people should not eat health food. They need all the preservatives they can get!” Robert Orben “As a graduate of Zsa Zsa Gabor School of  Mathematics , I honestly do not know how old I am.” Erma Bombeck Why did Mattel choose “curvy” Barbie to hit the shelves today, on my birthday? Sookie designed a birthday card depicting me in blue skies, with the sun shining.  I look like I’m singing and the grass is very green, just sayin’. Leave it to kids to boost our self esteem.  Hope my granddaughter will always think I’m budafull.  The family party filled my love tank to full.  They chose my favorite: white cake with white frosting!  I know, b.o.r.i.n.g.  It’s what I like; correct me if I’m wro...
