Mindblown: a blog about philosophy.

  • Did You Know?

      Did you know that my girls are blogging again, too?  Yep, they are!  They’ve been back at it longer than I have, as a matter of fact.   Corin’s blog keeps me laughing, and the posts almost always feature a picture of a grandbaby or two or six of mine.     Dani’s photography…

  • For Today (While I’m Still Finding My Way)

         I hope that you’ll allow me a bit of time to carefully, and cautiously, re-enter the blogging world.  It’s been awhile, and a lot of water has passed under the bridge.  Some of that water was a raging torrent, but most of it was just the gentle flow of living this life God has…

  • His Smile

      Dani and I were Christmas shopping.  I was determined to get the last of it done yesterday, ten full days before Christmas.  I did most of my shopping on line this year, but there are always those few odds and ends and things that just aren’t practical to order through a web site.  We…

  • Just Living It

         You all are so thoughtful and kind.  I’ve had so many emails and messages from gals wondering how we are and if everything is okay.  To those of you who have left worried comments recently, I apologize.  I appreciate your prayers and kind notes.  I am very thankful for those of you who have…

  • Tuesday

         It’s glorious outside.  Oh, it’s a touch windy, perhaps, but the sun is shining brightly in a cloudless sky.  Allergy season continues for all of us.  Dani has been suffering for several weeks with tree pollens, and I’ve now joined her as the local farmers are cutting the first spring hay.  My windows are…

  • A Peek At The Week Ahead

              Homeschooling – Shuffling just a bit more responsibility for time management onto Aaron’s plate this week.  Growing up and assuming more responsibility is tough on a kid!  Ordering books and music for the boys’ upcoming study of folk music.          Home –  Looking forward to rearranging a few things in my home to…

  • Rereading Good Books

    On the rereading of good books, and especially for Brenda: “I savor remembered details, greet favorite scenes or sections with pleasure, wonder why I turned up the corner (my bad habit for marking special pages) or recall the reasons why a pencil line or exclamation mark was left.  There is coziness, friendliness and reassurance in…

  • Marriage for a Lifetime – Marriage for a Moment

         The words, “Til death do us part”, in one form or another, are spoken as a vow during most marriage ceremonies.  Copper and I spoke the words in our vows, and I’m sure most of you did, too.  Marriage in today’s society, however, is rarely seen as permanent.  The sad truth is that…

  • Monday, Monday, Monday

         My husband’s vacation is winding down.  I’ll be back soon.  Until then…….. God bless you as you look well to the ways of your household!Proverbs 31:27
