A new approach. I hope you like it.
Sometimes, new is good. I hope you’ll overlook the fact that I am reposting. I wanted to see what this looked like. Maybe I’ll post something like this every end-of-month, so in case you didn’t read a post, they are all in one place.
So, what do you think?
Besides, trying something new is good, right? And considering it’s the end of the month, it works out well.

Plus, I like being able to see my posts this way as well. It’s been two months of reflection and sorting things out. Mental health, identifying the truly important, and relationships. Some pretty heady subjects. But what else is there to do in these two dark, cold months?
Now, I contend with this Afib diagnosis. I’m having a hard time adjusting to the medications. But I try to see things in perspective. It’s not terminal. It’s treatable. Perspective certainly helps. Besides, I’m an overcomer in Christ.
If faith doesn’t work during times of illness, when will it?
I hope you have a great weekend and blessings to each of you.

How prayer is not an exercise
(I wrote this four years ago. My mom was stil living. I teared up reading this because, one, I miss her still, and two, it’s as true today as it was then.) Prayer is not an exercise; it is a way of life. On the days we can’t sit and pray and read our Bibles… Read more

Hope is the first step in overcoming depression.
Depression robs us of the ability to see beyond our own hurt and pain. In other words, it robs us of hope. I have a number of friends and family members who are afflicted by clinical depression. While I might offer varying kinds and degrees of help, the one thing I always offer is hope.… Read more
