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.

What is a life worth?
(The picture you see in the header is the subject of this post. He’s eating spaghetti all by himself. Thought the orange cheeks needed some explanation.) I usually don’t write “off the cuff” but today I am. I am reacting to something that was reported on the news yesterday. I knew it anyway but hearing… Read more

Life in a lovely enchanted cottage. How great would that be?
So you’re going to think all I did this past weekend was watch movies. Actually, I did a lot. We’re cleaning out a lot of stuff. And I do mean a lot of stuff. I’m thinking through everything I lay my hands on, whether I really do use it or if I have ever used it. Is it something… Read more

When we don’t know what to do
We can’t-always know what to do that is. Sometimes God puts us “on hold” and we wonder why. Or there is some habit some activity that God seems to tell us “no” and other people “yes.” It seems unfair. But part of our Christian walk is to learn to be comfortable with “God pauses”. Whenever… Read more

Are you really ready for God to surprise you?
I love those days when God intervenes in unexpected ways, when He surprises us. It may sometimes be a nudge of discipline but even then it’s a good thing. I had one of those good surprise visits last week. A long-time and best friend and I were working on creating a gallery wall.… Read more

A creative way to manage depression and feel better
It’s hard for me to understand people who don’t have interests or never engage in creative pursuits, people who engage in nothing that excites them, nothing they can “lose” themselves in. They never experience being in the “zone”. I don’t understand just going through the day and never engaging in a creative project. Maybe that’s… Read more

Does the Bible address success and failure?
Yes, it does. Mostly through human stories. I think of Daniel, in particular, in the Old Testament. He was successful from start to finish. Remember when I wrote about persistence the other day as a component of success? Nowhere is it more evident than in Daniel’s life. He was persistent in his beliefs. He was… Read more
