The Window Nook

A short explanation:

In a corner of our apartment, I have a comfy, overstuffed chair, a silver lamp, and a stack of often precariously balanced books. This stack usually includes my Bible, journal, Book of Common Prayer, quote book, and the several books I am reading for fun or for my book group. At the moment I have just finished At the End of the Spear, which I highly recommend.
This reading corner is where I start each day, with my English Breakfast tea cradled in my warming hands. Over the months, I have often retreated to this nook to finish an engrossing book, to journal and categorize my thoughts, or simply to bask in the late afternoon light. This nook is my place of inspiration, my quiet place to prepare lessons for my students or ponder a perplexing issue. Similarly, a blog can be a journal of daily occurrences, a celebration of the small joys and the great adventures. Just as I watch the changing of the afternoon light from my reading nook, and enjoy this simple beauty, I want this blog to be a record of the small blessings that God often showers upon us. To often we do not appreciate them because we do not recognize them.
