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.

  • Why is the word “try” NOT in the bible?

    Yesterday’s post got me to thinking. Does the Bible use the word “try” in the sense of  “trying” to do something? So I did some research. I could only find these two verses that even use the word and in both instances, it is used to mean “testing”. Here’ are the only two verses that… Read more

  • Why people think “thinking about it” is the same as doing it.

    Why people think “thinking about it” is the same as doing it.

    Yoda, of Star Wars fame,  famously said, “No. Try not. Do. Or do not. There is no try.”  Saying we’re “trying” can be an excuse for why we don’t accomplish the outcomes we want in various areas of our lives. Yoda is saying you either do something or you don’t do it. Read more
