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.

  • Choosing Positive Words: A Challenge for Christians

    Safety doesn’t come from the Secret Service. We all know know what happened Saturday. A Presidential assassination attempt. It left us shaken. Feeling insecure. There are lots of pundits extolling the importance of political rivals toning down the hateful rhetoric. But let’s not look at them. Let’s look at ourselves. How often do we have Read more

    Oh, my another easy DIY for you. You’ll want to read this.

    This little DIY tray was a last-minute project for someone. I was getting ready to donate it to Goodwill when I thought, hmmm, maybe I could paint a beach scene for her. Of course, I had no idea it was going to turn out so good, or I would’ve taken “process” pictures. But I think Read more
