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.

I hope you have a great weekend and blessings to each of you.

I decided to take a couple of branches and bring… Read more

    Why depression isn’t really addressed in the church.

    Depression isn’t addressed in the church. Church and depression. Seems like an odd combination, but there are depressed people sitting in church every Sunday morning. Depression isn’t addressed in the church, and it should be. Do you realize how many people in any one congregation struggle with depression and/or anxiety? The percentages in the church… Read more

    How to “do” Bible Study.It’s not hard.

    Bible study isn’t hard if you have a plan. A Bible study slideshow is a first for me. It’s not an actual Bible study, as it is more of a general approach. I worked on a number of slide shows last week. Some of them I was able to finish and publish to my digital… Read more
