My Grandmother came over to America from Glasgow, Scotland in the 1931. Now, I’m going back to see where she came from. She had wanted to take me to the castles around her home. Since we are descended from the MacDonald/Campbell clans, I know she’d want me to see Loch Lomond and Inveraray Castle. Also,…
UGH! Some parents are just SOOOOOO unreasonable! Believe it or not, a parent was mad at me today because I’ve told her son he has to do the same classwork that every other kid has to do. We are doing reports on what career they might want to do when they grow up. (And you…
It is easiest to feel God’s strength and love when things are going well. Joy seems to be flowing: like when we are giggling in the front seat of my car. It is when life becomes difficult, that it is hard to continue reaching to God. It is so easy to get angry and blame…
This song is a little sad, but the words are beautiful. The idea of being so loved and held by the angels is such an enchanting one. Lots of metaphors in this song. Remember, metaphors are when a writer is comparing two things: dark, cold hotel room = the painful place you are stuck in…
I had to get a new phone for Europe so I got an IPhone 6. I also got (received is more proper English) a bunch of pictures of the two of you off of another older phone: the pictures of the Christmas where I dressed you both up, Purity’s award ceremony at her old school,…
Just watch this video and listen to the music when you are frustrated. I know it seems kinda goofy, but it really helps to clear your mind. Let your mind drift into the pictures you are seeing. I promise, you will feel better. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r3hLmrJMHco
I was holding this song until we needed it. We need it. This song really centers me when I’m struggling with waiting for something. While we are waiting to see each other. We “will be patient. We will move ahead, bold and confident. We will take every step in obedience (to God). We will serve”…
I heard that you aren’t in your school anymore. I hope you are OK. I love you so much, my sweet girls. I’m still here. And no matter what, I will continue to post you messages of love and light. Keep your chin up! No one tries to knock you down if you are weak….
I don’t know if you get Netflix streamed into your house, but this is a really cool series about Mary, Queen of Scots and her marriage to the French King: Louis. It’s called Reign. Pretty rich girls with all sorts of problems (if you can imagine that?!) But I like it! Historical fiction makes history…
In high school, I took two years of French. And I remember seeing this mystical and mysterious abbey. I so wanted to go there some day. Well, I’m booked in Normandy, France for two nights so I’ll finally be doing that too. I love the hotel. It’s a little chateau or French Country estate near…
