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.

Giving grace in a friendship
When I was organizing my books a couple of weeks ago, I came across a book I’ve had ever since my husband and I were married. I found this poem about friends and thought, “Why not wrap the week up with this poem?” “Oh, the comfort-the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person. Having… Read more

How to make a friendship better.
I used to think I was too sensitive. It is certainly true that things seem to bother me more than other people. I “read” people and situations very well, a blessing and a curse. For the longest time, I thought it was mostly the curse. After all, I’m the one whose feelings are hurt, right? I’m the… Read more

How “lying in green pastures” helps relationships
I think I’ve told you in the past that I don’t like ambiguity. I like concrete answers. I like the obvious. And that spills over to relationships. I don’t like chaos in my home or in my relationships. When I decorate a room, I study decorating blogs. I look through magazines. I gather information. But… Read more

Friendships can be tricky at times
I have some wonderful friends. I am closer to some than others. Some are friends I’ve had for many years. Others are in the “dating” stage, meaning the friendships are new. I’ve also been privileged to talk with many women in course of leading Bible studies, retreats, and in my role as a hospital chaplain.… Read more
