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.

  • in your face

    What do you do when God puts something you’ve been able to avoid for a while right in your face? That’s what happened to me today. It felt: Awkward Uncomfortable Unsettling. It was at church of all places. And during communion. A time when I should be feeling calm and peaceful and untroubled. But I Read more

  • Goodwill shopping

    Just thought I’d share my great buys at Goodwill today. Only bad about thrift store shopping is that it is way too easy to justify the spending. 🙂   Discover more from goodthoughtsgoodlives Subscribe to get the latest posts sent to your email.

  • singing then forgetting

    That’s just what the Israelites did time and time again. They sang praises to God then immediately turned around and forgot what they were praising Him for. Psalm 106 recounts the story. (as do other Psalms). Look at verses twelve and thirteen: 12: Then they believed His words (this is right after their pursuers were Read more

  • happiness is overrated

    Happiness is overrated. Ouch! What could I possibly mean by that? Only that if we seek happiness for happiness sake, we’ll probably never find it. So where does happiness come from? (This is a short post about a BIG subject. There is much more information you can find on the web, through books, talking to Read more

  • when God shouts

      How can life be going along so smoothly and all of a sudden the heart is grotesquely wrenched in two? But can a heart be wrenched in any other way but suddenly?  Hearts don’t break slowly. They may crack, they may get damaged, but they break suddenly. Someone is hurt, or worse, in an accident. Parent’s Read more

  • Noah movie a hit? Are you kidding me?

    You probably know I wrote a post a couple of weeks ago about how I was NOT going to see the movie “Son of God”. You can read that post here. So you will be very surprised to know that I went to see “Noah”. Why this movie and not the other one? For one Read more
