edit data

I spend my time staring into a computer screen whether working, writing, or editing. That’s why it’s so fun to hang out with my grandson, children, or walk outside. But burning easily makes it difficult to spend much time outdoors.

My Hope, Psalm 39, and More

In this week’s psalm post, I take on my hope, Psalm 39. It took a lot of searching, but I finally was able to decipher where it got me.

My Hope, Psalm 39

It took some doing, meditation, and writing to finally understand what it meant for me.

Meanwhile, my hubbie’s new parttime (full-time?) job asked for a picture of his cat for Cat Day. So he sent along this image. The two black boys are “patiently”
