Some people have a natural gift of hospitality. I don’t. The thought of someone coming to my house for a meal terrifies me. Are my plates out of style? Did the dishwasher leave spots on the spoons?

We all want more patience, and we want it now. I was leaving the Physical Therapy session, and walked over to get my coat, hat, and scarf. The man in front of me had a walker, a brace on his foot, and he moved slowly. It took him a while to get his coat and … More Finding Patience in the closet

You were snuggled in your bed with your significant other. Enjoying the coolness of this autumn night. Enjoying sweet sleep. But then at 2 am, my car anti-theft alarm began screaming. They should call it “useless anti-sleep alarm” as no one was trying to steal my car. Perhaps an acorn fell from the oak tree … More Dear Neighbors: I’m sorry I invaded your bedroom
Two days ago, I felt pretty good. I woke up at 5 am and kept going until the afternoon, when I had a quick nap. Yesterday I woke up to massive brain fog and the now familiar balance issues. Frustrating. I have many things I would like to write, but the brainfog stops me … More My day in the wilderness
Yesterday, I had a Balance Test at the Ear, Nose and Throat doctor office. They put blackout goggles on me and uncovered the left eye. There was a camera inside that could watch my right eye. First, I watched a bunch of boxes go by, to the left, and then to the right. Then watched … More I passed the Vomit TestÂ

This is not an exhaustive … More 17 things people don’t know about Slavery, the Civil War, and Reconstruction in the USA
Peace. What is true Peace? How do we obtain it? Did you know that Peace is a weapon?

The earth, the creation, is in birth pangs, awaiting the revealing of the sons and daughters of God. Jesus told us there would be wars, and rumors of wars, earthquakes, and pestilences. We are in the beginning– there’s more to come. And now the Good News:
Silence is not always the peaceful absence of sound, but it is a power, a force, a curse, a binding spirit making us unable to speak. It imprisons at times; it chokes. Silence holds captive the voice, it imprisons the heart, it holds back emotions and opinions, both good and bad. It keeps unnamed emotions … More When silence is the cry of the voiceless
When Simon Peter first met Jesus, He told him to go out to the deep water and let down his nets to catch some fish. Peter replied, “Well we were out there all night and caught nothing, but because you say so, I’ll give it a try.” Peter caught so many fish that he had … More First impressions count
With Irma being the topic of discussion, there is much infighting in the body of Christ as to whose job it is to speak against this storm. Some say only God has the power to calm the storm, and we should just pray and ask Him to stop it. Others are rising up, saying that … More Is it God’s job, or ours?
