cougars rejected
February 29, 2012 in fun
Just when you think no one cares…
Corner Canyon High is a new school set to open in Draper, Utah in 2013. Future students voted for the school’s team nickname. They chose the Cougars. Alas, the name was rejected by the school board because it may be offensive to some middle-aged women. Amazing.
Reported by Sports Illustrated in the January 30, 2012 issue under the headline “Sign of the Apocalypse”.
everyone needs a resting place
February 28, 2012 in rest
Our “Released to Rest” mini-conference on Saturday was so lovely. One thing we discussed is the need to create spaces where we can go to rest and reflect.
This is my morning sanctuary where I begin each day. Here, I can sit and just rest, pray, meditate, think, plan, and/or dream. A cozy chair, colorful throw, cushy pillows, and a favorite cup full of fresh coffee give me comfort and a sense of peace. On the table there is a plate that reads, “The time to be happy is now”. It is a reminder to enjoy each day. The stacked stone is a gift from a treasured friend. It is a milestone that represents a time of transition in my life. A devotional, “His Princess: Love Letters from Your King”, reminds me of God’s incredible love for me.
Do you have a special place to enjoy God’s rest and peace? Where is it and what’s in it?

The best gift I ever received….My friend DeenAnna gave me a necklace that says “Ageless” for my fortieth birthday – she give great gifts, when I wear it, I think of her, our friendship and the milestone of turning 40!
My perfect day would be…..My house would be perfectly clean, my to-do-list complete, an evening with family & friends….aahhhh!
If I were a color I’d be…..A shimmery golden hue
When I was a little girl I wanted to be an…. actress.
My favorite book ….“Joy in the Morning” by Betty Smith
My secret talent is… a secret!
My grace*ologie bracelet is….. It is an eye catcher! When I wear my gracelet, it enhances my unique style, and people always comment on it. I love the sentimentality of wearing a handmade piece of art.
