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.

I wrote last week that January is the month I monitor my actions. I know there are things I do that I don’t want to do and things I don’t want Read more

    Finding authentic peace even in an unresolved situation.

    I hope your week went well. Mine went surprisingly well. And it shouldn’t have. I am struggling with a situation, and yet I feel at peace. I think that can only mean one thing: God is behind it. I am not worried, stressed, or any of that. I have been for months, but no longer. Read more

    If Depression Strikes: An approach that produces big results

    Depression is no fun. Depression and/or anxiety are awful experiences. I know. Despite what you might think, both can strike suddenly and without warning. You are sidelined, and you never saw it coming. You don’t know what to do, but you do know what you want: relief. So, this suggestion I make today is not Read more

    Using the beautiful fall season for some genuine reflection.

    The fall and the harvest The bible’s references to the fall season primarily center around the context of harvest and God’s provisions. These are both viewed as part of God’s overall design for our lives. Key verses connect the fall to the earth, yielding its increase, and the importance of waiting for the harvest. The Read more
