Happy Wednesday to TSJ Peeps and beyond! If you are reading this at the beach you are likely not even thinking about mosquitos so at the moment – for you – they happily do not exist. But my guess is your mind remembers and you cringe. I also imagine you do not like them either! They …
Happy Wednesday TSJ Peeps! Have you ever been “spoken to” by what seems to be God right “out of the blue?” Not with audible voices perhaps, but with a wise message that is so basic and relevant for you at that moment, it hits you between the eyes and wakes you right up for a bit? I …
Happy Wednesday Dear TSJ Peeps! “The Boys” and I are wondering. Are you are enjoying summer days? Or do you sometimes ask yourself, “What ever happened to what the old song called ‘the lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer?” I have found it easy to cram so many “things” into my days they slip by without me even …
Happy Wednesday Peeps! It is our time to chat, learn from each other and play with ideas in today’s pastures. Even as I write that cheery greeting Solomon helps me remember some of you (and sometimes me too) may be in an inner space that says, “If you only knew how miserable I am or difficult things …

Hello Dear TSJ Peeps! First of all, Welcome New Subscribers! The joy it gives me to welcome you to sharing life’s twisting and winding journey is hard to describe. As the “regulars” to this blog know, I use the metaphor of pastures and Chief Shepherd (God) as ways of talking about the journey of life, …
Happy Wednesday TSJ Peeps! The team of three here at TSJ headquarters keep feeling the ups and downs of change. You who are TSJ peeps already know Solomon (senior wisdom seeker), SJ (youthful wanderer of wonder) and little Lovey (totally toddler) represent the development of our human consciousness on our earth journey. Since Mr.Tom went Home to …
Hello TSJ Peeps! Happy Wednesday! Welcome back for a Wednesday Wisdom story. Remember last week I mentioned “What a difference a day can make?” Last Wednesday I accepted a purchase offer.
