Advent and stones? What might the connection be between dry, dusty stones and the restoration of a hopeless, weary world? You might think this an oddly-timed question, especially as we’re all racing here and there, revved up for that “moooost wonderful time of the year.” You know, “the hap-happiest season of all.” Well, with allContinue reading “Advent and Stones? A Redux.”

Pilgrim Progressed
Bob was a beloved friend and faithful pilgrim. One day recently, the things of earth began to grow strangely dim, and he entered the Land of Beulah . . . .
Fifteen Years On . . . .
This morning, August 20, 2024, finds me fifteen years a quadriplegic. Perhaps ironically named, the Wreckiversary Celebration Fairie has been buzzing-busy preparing the customary breakfast ritual site. Cinnamon rolls baked, iced and at the ready, including a tell-tale cinnamon roll creation signifying 15 years. A lovely sentimentally inscribed bicycle-themed card, and handsomely framed hymnal pageContinue reading “Fifteen Years On . . . .”
A Great Sermon in the Sun
“I form the light, and create darkness.” Isaiah 45:7 Happy Sunday, Folks. Only one day until the April 8, 2024 Annular (ring-shaped) Total Eclipse! My son’s family of 4 has traveled from central Maryland to a cozy HOA campground in the rustbelt. From Basecamp Corona, solidly in the path of totality, they hope clear skiesContinue reading “A Great Sermon in the Sun”
2022: Thirteenth “Wreckiversary”
August 20. This morning I read a note from my daughter, recalling correctly that today was an anniversary of my bicycle’s demise. My being astride that two-wheeled rolling steed, when the physics of negative acceleration suddenly took over, only served to further complicate things. Her note remembered and marveled at God’s faithfulness throughout these thirteenContinue reading “2022: Thirteenth “Wreckiversary””
2020 Heidel Holiday Greetings
This year’s Heidel Holiday card is placidly inattentive to 2020’s global virulence and U.S. political throes, themes of which we were daily and painfully aware. If you squint and count carefully, you will see a new grandbaby and a new in-law. Daughter One added a son, and so we welcomed grandbabyboy #5. Daughter Four wasContinue reading “2020 Heidel Holiday Greetings”
Advent and Stones?
As with much that God has for us, things are not always as they seem.
Our Physiology Is A Cosmos
Our Physiology Is A Cosmos For the body does not consist of one member but of many. If the foot should say, “Because I am not a hand, I do not belong to the body,” that would not make it any less a part of the body. And if the ear should say, “Because IContinue reading “Our Physiology Is A Cosmos”
Portions, Lots, Lines and Pleasant Places
Psalm 16:5-8 — The Lord is my chosen portion and my cup; you hold my lot.The lines have fallen for me in pleasant places; indeed, I have a beautiful inheritance. I bless the Lord who gives me counsel; in the night also my heart instructs me. I have set the Lord always before me; becauseContinue reading “Portions, Lots, Lines and Pleasant Places”
Blackberries, Or Bushes Afire?
We await a smaller mob than most years – we’ll have 15 around the table. I cite a link to our Thanksgiving experience in 2009 I hope you’ll enjoy: https://wheeledwords.wordpress.com/category/gettin-by-lifestyle-changes-greater-independence/himalayan-expeditions-wheelchair-travel/ But also happy to step out of the way of my good friend, Frank Smith III, a far more gifted writer than I am, whoContinue reading “Blackberries, Or Bushes Afire?”
