December Inspiration – Part Two
Connie’s blog Last week I began this new series on “things that inspire me this December”. I started with inspiration in music, and this week I want to talk about the majesty of the mountain. My youngest son, the only one left at home, who is 17, wanted me to go skiing with him on...
December Inspiration -Part One
This week I was able to attend a Christmas concert for Vanguard University in Orange County, California with a dear friend. We were amazed by the beautiful opera house and mesmerized by the talent of the students, but one thing will stay with me for a long time. I have heard the name Ralph Carmichael...
When a Bargain Isn’t a Bargain
Thanksgiving is over, in my house, the leftovers are gone, and Christmas decorations continue to go up daily. All of that I understand. What i don’t understand is the shopping mania that has ensued. I can’t seem to drum up the courage to participate in it. I love a bargain, find treasures at the dry...
A Person of Influence
“You don’t have to be a ‘person of influence’ to be influential. In fact, the most influential people in my life are probably not even aware of the things they’ve taught me.” Scott Adams Do you believe that you are right where you are for a reason? Each and every one of us has our...
The Tie That Binds
The World Series is over. The competition is complete. The Giants have won! People who have been borderline fans during regular season play, become absolute fanatics when the championship is at stake. I’ve never really been a lover of competition. As much as we rejoice in the success of the victor, there’s always the shadow...
Let’s Sing
When I was little, my sisters and I would take rides in the back seat of the family Buick with our parents. My mother would sing as my father drove through the Oregon countryside, through pastures, farms, and fields. She would encourage my sisters and I to join in. (I’m hearing the “Oh Brother, Where...
Girl, You Rock! Connie’s blog 9-30-10
I have always had a thing for rocks. I grew up in Oregon and often on family trips in the summer time, I would beg my parents to stop at rock-hound shops so I could see how the rock cutting and polishing machines work to make such beautiful objects out of seemingly ordinary stone. I...
My Happy Place 09-13-10 Connie’s Blog
Last night in the middle of regular television viewing, a commercial came on that said, “Find your own happy place”. I remember a few years ago when that phrase came into popularity, Adam Sandler played the character Happy Gilmore, and through every struggle he encountered, he would imagine his happy place. It was a place...
Talitha Koum 09-15-10 Connie’s blog
It isn’t Easter, but I keep thinking about resurrection. Jesus’ resurrection power, to be more precise. I am so thankful that we serve a God that is not dead. He is not some distant God whose deeds are recorded in a dusty old book, but He came to earth, He displayed His authority over life...
Hidden Treasure Connie’s blog
I am the daughter of a carpenter. When I was a kid, I loved hanging out with my Dad. I’d go to job sights with Him every chance I got. I would scour the floors for mystery objects like nails, bolts, washers, and pipe fittings. To this day I love the smell of sawdust. It’s...
