Mindblown: a blog about philosophy.

     It was not my intention to be away for so long.  I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again and again because it is true in my life, my days are blessedly full!  The Lord has blessed me with work enough to fill my days, and I embrace the work He gives me…

     A mama’s heart is a funny thing.  It can pray and grieve and delight and love and love some more all the while mama goes about her daily business.  Laundry gets done, meals are prepared, children are homeschooled and discipled, tended and loved, and yet mama’s heart remembers to pray.  She prays for the daughter…

                There are changes afoot here.  The weather is, at long last, beginning to settle into something more resembling fall than summer.  There are hints of fall everywhere, though our temperatures just a day or two ago were still very close to 90°.  Today was breezy and cool and we are hoping…

     I had such a lovely, sweet September day!  The weather was picture perfect.  The boys and I enjoyed a delicious, big breakfast of scrambled eggs with bacon bits and cheese, whole wheat toast, and cubed potatoes quick fried in a bit of butter (made from left over baked potatoes).  My grandbabies were here for…

           My husband is working today.  It is his second, 12 hour overtime shift of the week.  He also had a couple of hours of overtime at the shooting range.  By the time he gets home tonight, he will have worked 26 hours over the course of his three normal days off.  His…
