The ironic thing about this blog is that I had several new subscribers after my last post. A post that to be honest, could have been my last ever post about L’Abri. I’m not sure when or if I’ll get to go back. Not because I think this pandemic is going to go on forever,Continue reading “Ordinary Life”

Arts Week
Life at L’Abri has been crazy the past couple of weeks as people have had to abruptly change their plans due to the virus, and I haven’t found much time to write or honestly process anything. Sadly, I’m back in the U.S. However, I have been wanting to dedicate a post to arts week. EdithContinue reading “Arts Week”
Learning
It snowed quite a bit overnight the otherday. I decided that was a good time to walk up death hill for the first time and it was actually a lot of fun and I got some beautiful pictures. Therefore, interspersed in this post about learning new things are my snowy walk picture. Learning Dutch OneContinue reading “Learning”
Huémoz
I have intended to do a post about Huemoz for a while… what is a blog entitled Life in Huemoz and Other Musings without some words specifically about the town. This town is a tiny collection of Chalets. There are no grocery stores, not even a post office. I believe I’ve been told that theContinue reading “Huémoz”
Moments of Worship
Farel House Farel house is cold and drafty at night. The first floor is the chapel. It’s a bit of a long and narrow room. There’s a grand piano at the front, along with lots of plants, and a big old wooden podium. There’s tables with an assortment of well worn and mismatched chairs liningContinue reading “Moments of Worship”
Montreux
Last Thursday a rather large group of L’Abri people spent our day off visiting Montreux. I honestly don’t have much to say about it other than it was gorgeous… so this post will be mostly pictures. Sorry, not sorry. We had plans to walk around a castle which was about a 30 minute walk fromContinue reading “Montreux”
Mental Pictures
If you watch the Office you have probably seen Jim and Pam look at eachother during a sweet moment and make a motion symbolizing taking a picture. They do this for moments they want to savor but can’t exactly be captured on film. There’s a lot of those kinds of moments here at L’Abri forContinue reading “Mental Pictures”
L’Abri
What is L’Abri? L’Abri is a living learning community that was founded by Francis and Edith Schaeffer. The one I’m at is in Switzerland, but there are several other branches. Somewhere on the webpage it says something like “it’s a place for people who are seeking honest answers to honest questions.” The focus of learningContinue reading “L’Abri”
Snowy Thoughts And Other Musings
Snowy Thoughts The other day I wrote this on my phone when I had no internet. It was my second day at L’Abri and I was adjusting to not having much contact with the world, but I was definitely also feeling the excitement and joy of settling into a new place. It’s study time andContinue reading “Snowy Thoughts And Other Musings”
