Not sure where to begin reading?

I like beginning at the beginning. I am not a skip-ahead, read-the-last-page-first kind of girl. With that in mind, I suggest you begin with the title of this blog. However, rivers seem to pop up everywhere for me. This is the river I remember when the world turns deadly dark, and this is the river that helps me imagine prayer.

My most popular post?  I think it’s a tie between The Only Thing I Pray My Children Grow Up to Know and this one about God’s Love and an Old Green Sofa.

Occasionally, I write about my son’s life-threatening allergies (which is to say, this is where I write about fear and hope and healing). Because my worst fears were realized, I am no longer afraid.

I also write a lot about books because if I’m not writing or feeding children I am most likely reading.  Actually, I have been known to combine reading with the feeding of children.  I’ve written a series of posts titled “Book of Quotations” in order to consider and record some of my favorite words and ideas from the books I read.  Here is the first. You can also find my weekly book recommendations gathered together at These Farmhouse Bookshelves.
