Life's Adventure: Reflections After a Death
http://mjanebullard.blogspot.com/2016/09/reflections-after-death.html
My attempt to be disciplined in writing about my life on a regular basis and keep my friends updated. Saturday, September 10, 2016. Reflections After a Death. My brother died, and one thing I have always relied on for comfort is the Bible. In Psalms it says the LORD is close to the brokenhearted, and saves those who are crushed in spirit. How? I wondered. How do you feel Him when he is not physically present? And how does He save us when our spirits are crushed by grief? Are we being punished? He loves t...

My attempt to be disciplined in writing about my life on a regular basis and keep my friends updated. Thursday, October 10, 2013. The Golden Age of Babyhood. Kaitlyn is now seven months old, a month into what I've thought of as "the golden age of babyhood" since Alexandra went through it. I love my babies at this age; they are so fascinating and just. enjoyable. Between six and twelve months. (In case there's any doubt, I love my babies all the time. But some ages are more fun than others.). Picture Wind...

Life's Adventure: The Man, Jesus
http://mjanebullard.blogspot.com/2016/03/the-man-jesus.html
My attempt to be disciplined in writing about my life on a regular basis and keep my friends updated. Wednesday, March 23, 2016. The Man, Jesus. I was thinking the other day about how I rarely think about Jesus as a human. Since my childhood faith, Jesus has been a historical figure of mythical proportions, someone who has always been and lives as The Savior in some strange spiritual realm. But do I ever think about Him as a man? He was a real infant. He was born in a tiny body, without the ability t...

My attempt to be disciplined in writing about my life on a regular basis and keep my friends updated. Thursday, November 14, 2013. Pumpkin Walnut Scones Recipe. I love the pumpkin scones from Starbucks. Love, love, love them. And this fall, it seems like I cannot get enough pumpkin. So, without further ado, here's the recipe:. 1) Into your food processor, dump the following dry, spice, and fat ingredients:. Brown sugar (they are good both ways, just a touch sweeter with 3 tablespoons). 2) Run the food pr...

My attempt to be disciplined in writing about my life on a regular basis and keep my friends updated. Thursday, July 17, 2014. Advice" for New Moms. I began to realize that all the parenting posts I read are written by people who have just a few more years of experience than I do. Of course, this is partly generational, but I started wondering, where are the parenting blogs written by people whose kids are in their forties? So I want to know, what advice comes from parents with grown children? 1) Take ca...

My attempt to be disciplined in writing about my life on a regular basis and keep my friends updated. Saturday, September 12, 2015. Teaching and Dealing with the Divine. This happened once when I was giving a test. These take up pretty much all of my mental capacity on most days, leaving little room for deep inner reflection while I am teaching. Teaching itself is the time for heightened sensory intake and snap decision-making; reflection comes afterward. It's not that I thought they looked like God....

Life's Adventure: December 2014
http://mjanebullard.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
My attempt to be disciplined in writing about my life on a regular basis and keep my friends updated. Wednesday, December 31, 2014. It's funny that my last post was about life's unpredictability, because I have just found myself at the end of one semester, looking back at its beginning and realizing that the path I traveled with my family and the new course it set for us were far different from what I planned. And then we were re-routed. Hence my plan to do this once my girls were older. It's exciting to...

Life's Adventure: August 2014

My attempt to be disciplined in writing about my life on a regular basis and keep my friends updated. Thursday, August 28, 2014. The Reality of the Unpredictable Life. Last year, my husband lost his job. I wasn't scared that anything really bad would happen to us; we are thankful to have loving family close by, so there was never any danger of us living on the streets or our girls going hungry or anything like that. We had so many questions: Where would he find a job? Where should we go to church? We NEV...
