2023 Day 329
Saturday, November 25th On Thanksgiving Day I saw an image of my red oak tree from 4 years ago. In that image, the tree had already gone through its entire fall color change. So I guess this year fall is a little slow in coming... But, as you can see,…

I Received A Christmas Blessing…I Am Passing It On to You…
Now that we have baked our cookies and trimmed our trees,now that we have wrapped our gifts and planned our dinners,now that we have hung stockings, sent greetings and set tables,assembled toys, trimmed wicks, written Santa and hung wreaths,the time has come to abandon it all,if only for a moment.Hallelujah…

Christmas Memories
I was reading through my emails and Google Reader feeds today when I came across Jim Casada's December Newsletter. As I was reading his list of childhood Christmas Memories I found myself nodding on more than one occasion as my own memories mached up with Jim's. Here are a few…

An Unexpected Christmas Gift From An Unexpected Place…
FAR, far above the earth, the goddess of winter storms discovered mealy moths in her flour. Lifting the enormous bag, she staggered out of her cloud home and hurled the whole thing into the black sky above Wisconsin. Far below, Rudi Saxon was splitting wood behind his rural cottage. The…
