I love to write. It’s not a burden. Maybe it’s because I like it so much that it always gets put off – it’s a bit of an indulgence to take the night away and do something that I love. It is also hard work though, and there’s some doubt whether it pays off. I … Continue reading Fictional Value

Eggshells
I enjoyed this post from a blog I follow. Have you ever baked a cake with a toddler? It has a lot to tech us about God!

Late Breakfast-Early Lunch
Due to a scheduling issue today, as I write this I am having an early lunch. Which doesn’t sound too bad, really. Except that I had a late breakfast. So I’m not particularly hungry. But if I don’t eat now, I will be starving* before I can expect to have another moment to sit down … Continue reading Late Breakfast-Early Lunch
