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.

The pictures I’m showing today are just ordinary pieces, everything from cupboard doors, to trays that have been painted with Aqua chalk paint. This first picture is of a miscellaneous lid. Read more

Road trip home
We’re almost home after spending two chilly weeks in Florida. But our annual jaunt was wonderful, despite the weather. Yesterday I drive most of the day. I brought one of my favorite books about prayer with me, “Hearing God”, by Dallas Willard. I’ve referenced this book often on this blog. I’ve told you how I’ve Read more

God’s discipline is wrapped in love
How many of you have read, I mean, really read the book of Lamentations? I mean, I know I must have because I read through the Bible on a regular basis. But, honestly, maybe because this time I read it on my NOOK, it just kind of jumped out on me. (Let me side-track for a Read more
