Where an ordinary woman makes a modern attempt to stay in touch with family and friends around the world.
Why blog?
Of course, I prefer face-to-face connections. Since that's not always possible given the miles of separation between us, I invite you to sit down for a moment, right where you are, and share a cup of tea with me.
Why get involved in the world?
No one cries
like a mother cries
for peace on Earth.
(U2)
Mission is putting love
where love is not.
(St. John of the Cross)
You can't do everything,
but you mustn't do nothing.
You can do something.
(Peter Cotterell)
"The King will reply, 'I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these... you did for Me.'"
(Matthew 25:40 NIV)

Reminders
Live... a life Jesus will be proud of: bountiful in fruits from the soul, making Jesus Christ attractive to all, getting everyone involved in the glory and praise of God. (Philippians 1:10-11 The Message)
We have heard of many people
who trusted God too little,
but have you ever heard of anyone
who trusted Him too much?
(J. Hudson Taylor)
Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank Him for all He has done. Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus. (Philippians 4:6-7 NLT)
We have heard of many people
who trusted God too little,
but have you ever heard of anyone
who trusted Him too much?
(J. Hudson Taylor)
