lost

Lost

VineWords Devotions and More

I took a small break and a deep breath as I looked at the mall map, searching for that circled star that would clarify my location, but I was lost.   I had walked in circles, looking for the one store that was the purpose of my trip. Somehow, I had become twisted and distracted, and before realizing it, my quick stop at the mall ticked toward a second hour. Nagging questions swirled in my mind: “Had the store moved? … Continue reading →

A Yellow-Pen Life

VineWords Devotions and More

wallflowers can dance

Wallflowers Can Dance

VineWords Devotions and More

I stepped outside my comfort zone, stepped into a Soul Dancing class, and discovered that wallflowers can dance.   Twice each week, I showed up in comfy shoes and a big smile, along with twenty-five to thirty other folks with varying levels of dancing ability. I’ve never thought I had natural rhythm, and I have had few opportunities to prove it. It was all I could manage to keep my right and left straight while counting continuously. I laughed a … Continue reading →

Sisu for God

VineWords Devotions and More

Apparently, the reading glasses on the end of my nose, my ear buds, a stack of printed pages on my tray table, and an uncapped marker in my right hand, were not strong enough social cues for Nina to get the message: I am not a friendly flyer. …

A Peppered Salt Discovery

I headed toward the kitchen to check out my mother’s exclamation. She thrusted the saltshaker toward me with a scowl. The tall glass container was half-filled with salt, but as I twirled it, five or six large pepper flakes appeared. …
