Threads of Gratitude: Flannel PJ’s Edition

Texas weather is a  funny thing, particularly in the months from October – May.  Wet, dry, hot, cold…it’s never quite the same from day to day or even from minute to minute.  The constantly changing atmosphere certainly keeps our forecasters on their collective toes. But in the midst of this meteorological unpredictability, there is one… Continue reading Threads of Gratitude: Flannel PJ’s Edition

Threads of Gratitude: White gym towel edition

I’m part of a revolution, it seems. Somehow I’ve become part of a community committed to losing weight, getting fit, and leading an overall healthier lifestyle.  Maybe it’s the fact that we’re all growing older and realizing the need to take better care of ourselves.  Maybe it’s the realization that we need to set a… Continue reading Threads of Gratitude: White gym towel edition

Threads of Gratitude: 100% Earth-friendly cloth Edition

Today is Earth Day, a celebration of the world we’ve been given, the beauty contained within it, and the responsibility we’ve been given to care for it.  While the “official” holiday of Earth Day has only been around for the past 40 years, that mandate is as old as the earth itself: The LORD God… Continue reading Threads of Gratitude: 100% Earth-friendly cloth Edition

Threads of Gratitude: Purple T-shirt Edition

SURVIVOR. I really like the sound of that word.  And I don’t mean the TV show, either.  That word, “SURVIVOR”, still gives me goosebumps.  Still brings tears to my eyes.  Still makes my heart overflow with gratitude, love, and admiration.  Still makes me remember…and rejoice. It was one year ago – April 14, 2009 –… Continue reading Threads of Gratitude: Purple T-shirt Edition

Threads of Gratitude: White Linen Cloths Edition

Sin is dirty.  Ugly.  Staining.  A bloody smear across a canvas of white. Sin is shameful.  Wretched.  Filthy.  Exposing my nakedness to a mocking, unforgiving world.  Heaping guilt upon guilt for all the times I have failed, fallen, given in. Sin is constantly reminding.  Accusing.  Judging.  A cruel tormentor to my burdened soul. Amidst all… Continue reading Threads of Gratitude: White Linen Cloths Edition

Threads of Gratitude: Canvas Stretcher Edition

Last week, I had the opportunity to go to the Nasher Sculpture Garden with my mom and my children.  I’ll let that sink in for a minute: I went to an art museum.  Willingly.  And dare I say I even enjoyed it?  And this time I managed NOT to ask questions like “These are all… Continue reading Threads of Gratitude: Canvas Stretcher Edition

Threads of Gratitude: Old College Sweatshirt Edition

Today was college spirit wear at McGowen.  Well, for the faculty anyway.  You might also have heard it referred to as “an-excuse-to-have-an-extra-jeans-day-this-week”, too.  It’s college awareness week throughout the district so we had the chance to show off our school colors today in an effort to promote higher education to our students. And that got… Continue reading Threads of Gratitude: Old College Sweatshirt Edition
