My husband and I have FOUR funerals this month. I am buying Sympathy cards in bulk. My heart physically hurts, but at least I’m not depressed. I have to allow myself to move a little more slowly through the day–and maybe that’s not such a bad thing. There are many scriptures about HEALING for the … More What becomes of the broken hearted?
I was going to the gym. Really. I was. I got into the car, and tried to start it, but it turned over a few times and then clicked at me. I stopped and asked God for a miracle. Of course, I was hoping that it would be a Supernatural Jump-Start for the battery. As … More Today’s Miracle
A few posts back, I wrote about “Stop your sobbing.” Sometimes tears are not the answer. Sometimes tears are the answer. As it says in Ecclesiastes 3:4: A time to weep, And a time to laugh; A time to mourn, And a time to dance; There are times to cry and mourn. I taught myself … More Would you like whipped cream with that?
This winter has kept us indoors more than normal, so Hubby and I decided that we wanted to go out to the movies. He picked the new Arnold Schwarzenegger movie, “Sabotage.” After paying outrages prices for the movie tickets and $13 for popcorn and water (!) we picked our seats, and hoped we would not … More And so we walked out of the movie…** spoiler alerts are in effect **
As I begin another chapter in the continuing saga of my battle with the food idol, something Jesus said caught my eye: “My Food is to do the will of Him who sent Me and to finish His work.” –John 4: 34 Huh?

Some of you may have noticed that I haven’t been posting lately. I guess it’s time for a “Brain Dump” of the events swirling around in my world. It will feel good to let it out anyway.

I have a plastic jar that I keep spare change in. After a while, I cash it in and donate it to the Widows and Orphans in Uganda.

And the voice told … More Stop Your Sobbing

I recently watched a man on television who had a vision of Judgment Day, the Return of Jesus to the Earth. He had a $40 package that people could purchase to learn what they needed to do to be ready for Christ’s return.

Most of us decide that January is the time to get back on the bike and try again, but I held out until February. Well, ok, it took me that long to talk myself into it. Here in the Northeast we have been getting hammered with snow and cold-cold-cold temperatures. Who wants to get up … More I finally went back to the gym today
It started out with Valentine’s day, which Hubby and I celebrated on Saturday lunch, rather than Friday night dinner so we could actually enjoy the meal instead of being darted with eyes of waitstaff waiting to get the next customers in. In between days I had a good long cry, a cleansing cry, one that’s … More My Long Weekend
Alone? Look on the bright side.
I’m not a fan of the Horror genre but I have to respect a man who has sold so many books which were made into blockbuster movies. For those of us writers who are struggling with penning a novel, his book, On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft is sweet freedom. When he writes gems … More Stephen King set me free

In the United States, we are supposed to have the right to freedom of religion, which also includes freedom from religion. That’s fine, because I don’t like religion either. I have a relationship with God. Religion is man’s attempt to reach God, to appease God. A relationship is, well, two people talking to each other, … More Dear Atheist: I don’t hate you.
My friend Delia loaned me her old computer. It does NOT have wi-fi, which is actually a blessing. I can write and not be interrupted by Facebook updates and spam emails. It’s also a big help because my husband needs the new computer on the weekends, for work-related tasks. What I do is write free-form, … More A quick shout out to Delia Gross
