Thyme

Posted on June 20, 2013 by If It Was Today

Just before I drifted off to sleep the other night, I prayed for more time. I wasn’t really serious, but it certainly would help. When I looked on the patio this morning, I couldn’t believe my eyes. Sometimes our prayers … Continue reading →

Stranger Than Fiction

Posted on June 9, 2013 by If It Was Today

This scene is one of the stranger things I have ever come across.  I really can’t decide what to make of it.  The house looked fairly rundown, with peeling paint and general clutter all around. On the other hand, someone … Continue reading →

When I wrote about Inukshuks in Jordan, I mentioned that it was not uncommon to see Inukshuks in Canada. Sure enough, this past weekend when we were in Williamstown, I spotted a “family” of them by a pond. I couldn’t … Continue reading →

Williamstown

Posted on May 19, 2013 by If It Was Today

This weekend the unexpected came together, complementing, contrasting, and enriching the moment. It was a funeral. Well, technically it was the inurnment ceremony for Helen, but the sadness that accompanies any passing was still the same. But on the other … Continue reading →

Extremes

Posted on May 15, 2013 by If It Was Today
