SPIRITUAL ACCOMPANIMENT: A PERSONAL VISION.

Water, water everywhere and not a drop to drink Introduction Water is needed by humans, animals, and plant life. This has been apparent in the last month as the grass changed from lush green to straw in colour and spirit in the summer heat. Water is needed to grow and when there is no water there is no growth. The purpose of a Spiritual Accompaniment Process is to grow in the presence of rivers…

Suffering Caused by Labeling Children

Kids are often cruel, dishing out insults and rude nicknames to those they deem “different.” Sadly, not everyone outgrows this ugly behavior. As C.S. Lewis wrote in The Four Loves, We hear a great deal about the rudeness of the rising generation. I am an oldster myself and might be expected to take the oldsters’ side, but in fact I have been far more impressed by the bad manners of parents to…

#1962Club - some previous reads!

As is my habit during our Reading Weeks, I always like to pick out some previous reads from the year in question; and when I made my list of potential 1962 books, it turned out to be one from which I’d actually read quite a bit! Some of these titles are from pre-blog times, and I’ll pick out a few which have featured on the Ramblings. All of which goes to show just what a great year we chose this…

Sort of a Review: A Wind in the Door (Madeleine L'Engle)

When something terrible happens, as It often does, I find myself reaching for things I used to love. I have always been a bit of a hoarder. My desk is buried in notebooks I’ve kept since the 4th grade, stones from beaches around the world, bottle openers that I haven’t used since I’ve been sober, and a lip balm that expired in 2009. I hold onto things because I don’t want to forget, even if…

Ordem de leitura da série Uma Dobra no Tempo

Quando eu vi o box a primeira coisa que me chamou a atenção foram as artes da Isadora Zeferino, a mesma ilustradora responsável pelo box mais recente de O Diário da Princesa. Nesta série a autora Madeleine L’Engle trás uma saga infantojuvenil aliada a fantasia e a ficção científica.O que mais me surpreendeu enquanto eu fazia a pesquisa para esse post é o quanto as séries mais antigas demoravam…

Review: A Wrinkle In Time by Madeleine L'Engle

Review: A Wrinkle In Time by Madeleine L’Engle

When a strange old lady turns up at your house and tells you random facts about five-dimensional space, you should probably call the police. Fortunately, that does not happen in “A Wrinkle In Time,” where reality can twist and bend, and strange worlds are just a tesseract away. Madeleine L’Engle’s classic sci-fantasy is many things — a coming-of-age tale, a rescue quest, a clash between good and…

Spaghetti For Breakfast: Sustaining Moments

Spaghetti For Breakfast: Sustaining Moments

I’ve been up since 2am. Trying to navigate a challenge involving one of the kids off on an adventure. I promise to tell about that soon, but not quite yet.

I can tell you this boy and his independence will teach Steve and I more about relying on God than many things we have experienced. We have learned to pray and trust and realize that ultimately these kids are God’s and He has plans we can’t…

Inspiration usually comes during work, rather than before it. Madeleine L’Engle Competition is a by-product of productive work, not its goal. A creative man is motivated by the desire to achieve, not by the desire to beat others. Ayn Rand Concentrate all your thoughts upon the work at hand. The sun’s rays do not burn until brought to a focus. Alexander Graham Bell Sometimes life hits you in…

A Disney Disappointment

by Jim Denney, author of Walt’s Disneyland

In November 2017, I went to Disneyland with my kids and grandkids. We got off the tram before entering the Park and walked past the shops at the east end of Downtown Disney. On one wall was a giant movie poster announcing, “Coming March 9, 2018: Disney’s A Wrinkle in Time.”

lenten journal: stardust

I was in fourth grade in Lusaka, Zambia when Ms. Reedy started reading A Wrinkle in Time to our class as a reward for getting our daily work done early. I had never heard anything like it. Not only did it make me a lifetime Madeleine L’Engle fan, but it let me live with the notion that I could grasp something about science and space that mattered, even though I wasn’t that much of a scientist.…

A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L'Engle

A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L’Engle

A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L’Engle was a read a couple of years ago, before the movie, and somehow never received a review. It is a true middle grade science fiction fantasy story and received almost every possible award. The book was written in 1962 and thus how it escaped my childhood reading consumption is baffling. Well not too baffling, I didn’t read fantasy of any sort until after we…

Monday Morning Musings

Last Friday I felt good enough to go out in the back and putter a bit with my flowers. On my way to the side faucet to get some water, I noticed these little beauties growing along the fence. This one looks like a teddy bear face. This one could be a flower. Thinking about a mushroom and whether it could be a flower, I decided to do some research. This is what I found on the site Encyclopedia…

Book Review: A Swiftly Tilting Planet by Madeleine L'Engle

Book Review: A Swiftly Tilting Planet by Madeleine L’Engle

A Swiftly Tilting Planet by Madeleine L’Engle My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Read for the Big Fun in a Little Package Novella Challenge.

This was actually the first book in this series I read. It so absorbed me that I sought out the rest of the series wherever I found it.

Once again, a re-read as an adult was a valuable experience. As a child, I absorbed the idea how a few small changes, and well-chosen…
