Clay Inkpot: September 2013
http://clayinkpot.blogspot.com/2013_09_01_archive.html
Thursday, September 12, 2013. The numbers are out. The study has spoken. And, once again, Togo has been named the least happy country in the world by the Earth Institute. But, then, it wasn't my home. When the elections were corrupt and the UN threw its hands in the air and left, I wished for better times. Then I filled out my own absentee ballot and mailed it back to the USA. It's personal to me, this idea that Togo is the least happy place on earth. After all, we went there to spread joy and peace ...

Clay Inkpot: February 2013
http://clayinkpot.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html
Wednesday, February 13, 2013. If I were a rich man. Of all Tevye's dreams of becoming rich- and he had a vivid imagination- his most precious wish was to be rich enough to sit in the synagogue and pray, to discuss the holy books with learned men instead of scratching a living for his family out of the dirt of impoverished Russia. Here's what I did hear:. The battle of Revelation was not close. In fact, it was over before it started. The blood on the battlefield was the blood of the lamb.

Clay Inkpot: A Season of Thanks, Day 23
http://clayinkpot.blogspot.com/2013/11/a-season-of-thanks-day-23.html
Saturday, November 23, 2013. A Season of Thanks, Day 23. I didn't venture far from home today, but my daughter made a 900 mile trek across Arkansas, Oklahoma, Texas and New Mexico in the snow and freezing rain. Tonight she was safely in her Nana's kitchen making cookies. Letting your kids grow up is not for cowards. Tonight I am thankful for traveling mercies for my girl. Do your best to get here before winter. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile. A Season of Thanks, Day 24.

Clay Inkpot: January 2012

Tuesday, January 24, 2012. From my Family to Yours. All photography and video editing credit goes to brother David. Thank you! Monday, January 23, 2012. A Eustace Scrubb Kind of Day. Yesterday was a Eustace Scrubb kind of day. Do you remember Eustace? He's the selfish brat of a hero who was sucked into Narnia with his cousins, hopeless saps all. First Mom's health, then my husband's job. Or was it the other way around? I can't recall. I feel the all-at-onceness of it. Jesus dug his claws into my thickene...

Clay Inkpot: A Season of Thanks, Day 21
http://clayinkpot.blogspot.com/2013/11/a-season-of-thanks-day-21.html
Thursday, November 21, 2013. A Season of Thanks, Day 21. There's an article in the Huffington Post. This week about boring men and the women who live with them. I am lucky enough to be married to a boring man. I don't have an uber romantic story of how he proposed to me or a chunky diamond ring to remind me. But here's what he did do. He sold his camera so I could fly to his hometown to meet his family. He rubs my shoulders every time I set myself in front of him. And when I see him in a crowd, he still ...

Clay Inkpot: August 2012
http://clayinkpot.blogspot.com/2012_08_01_archive.html
Tuesday, August 21, 2012. A brilliant French novel by Marcel Pagnol, tells the ultimately tragic story of the title character, a newcomer to Provence. Jean arrives in Provence eager to succeed as a gentleman farmer, but is foiled by two supposed friends who have blocked the spring that waters his arid land. Rent the movie. Watch it and its sequel,. Manon of the Spring. No wonder the Samaritan woman perked up when Jesus offered her water that would never run dry. Saturday, August 04, 2012. Or maybe the qu...

Wednesday, September 12, 2012. Hinds' Feet on High Places. The helicopter makes a slow turn to put its nose to the wind. The mountain ridge rises to meet us as our pilot gently sets his skids on the mossy turf. We hug and cry and hug some more. The helicopter returns for us. As for God, his way is perfect: The word of Jehovah is tried; His is a shield unto all them that take refuge in him. For who is God, save Jehovah? And who is a rock, save our God?

Clay Inkpot: October 2012
http://clayinkpot.blogspot.com/2012_10_01_archive.html
Wednesday, October 17, 2012. A Chance to Do Good. I've avoided sharing Ryan's story here since he's been doing such a good job of sharing it himself. It is, after all, his story. But I've got to admit, despite the unfairness of death, miracles large and small have spawned from Ryan's story. A community rallies around the one who expected to be the giver. A guy who wanted nothing to do with Jesus finds him through Ryan. The stories of sickness, fear, hope, and life are shared around the world. Story Time ...

Clay Inkpot: November 2013

Sunday, November 24, 2013. A Season of Thanks, Day 24. Tonight it's all I can do to thank God his mercies are new every morning. Some days I'm not the person I ought to be. Some days I see my impatience, my weakness, my shortfalls clearer than anything. Some days I want to crawl in a hole. But in the morning I get the chance to start again. Because of the Lord's great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning. Great is your faithfulness. Friday, November 22, 2013.
