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.

  • How God used a rose to remind me of answered prayer.

    I am so proud of this rose. Here’s the backstory. I’ve had this rose bush for years. I even thought of digging it up last year but just forgot about it. So when I saw this bud last week, I started to get excited. You see, I’ve pretty much given up on growing roses. At one point,… Read more

  • How to get beyond our disappointment in God

    Right now I’m sitting on the porch of “La Cabinette”. It’s’ very quiet here, except on the weekends when kayakers transport their kayaks to the river a mile down the road. This is my place of refuge and solace. It’s where I often hear God “speak”. Read more
