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.

empty spaces equal strong minds
I read something interesting the other day. “Do you want to know what makes music?” The answer is, the space between the notes. If it weren’t for those quiet spaces, all we would hear is constant noise. Where is that space in our lives? Where are those quiet, contemplative moments in our life? If our lives minds are Read more

oh, the joy of being impaled by a rose bush
Yesterday was wonderful. Warm and sunny. Worked in my garden and pruned thirty or so rose bushes. I have the scars to prove it. At one point, I got tangled up in an aggressive climbing rose and couldn’t get free. I could just see the headlines: “Woman impaled by rose bush.” Today’s weather. Not so Read more

just because a door opens doesn’t mean you should walk through it
“God never opens doors that have been closed. He opens other doors, but He reminds us that there are doors we have shut doors which need never have been shut, imaginations which need never have been sullied. Never be afraid when God brings back the past. Let memory have its way…..God will turn what “might Read more

God,you’re kidding, right?
O.K. I know I’m not the only one who has had it with this weather. I just want to ask God, “Is this a month-long April Fool’s joke? And if so, why? What did we nice Michiganders do to deserve this?” For those of you in other states southward, you really wouldn’t believe our weather. We Read more
