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.

    A hard important truth about prayer.

    A hard important truth about prayer is: From E.M.Boounds: Prayer which does not result in right thinking and right living, is a farce. We miss the whole point of prayer if it fails to purge character and change conduct. The character of the inner life is a condition of effectual praying. As is the life,… Read more

    Too many books! I need an intervention?

    I have too many books. Or do I? Do I need an intervention? Yesterday was the perfect day for organizing. It was rainy. We watched some great sermons, had many cups of coffee, and had a lazy day all around. By the afternoon, I thought, why not organize something? I have way too many books.… Read more

  • Why we don’t need to prove our side.

    Proving our side isn’t always necessary. I used to be one of those people who always needed to share her side of the story. I’ve learned that having to prove myself is no longer necessary. If I’m right, it only matters that I know it. Having to prove ourselves comes from a deep sense of… Read more

  • Think more to know more

    Think more to know what you want. “Life is easier when you know what you want—but most people don’t take the time to figure out what they want. It’s not that we are completely lost, but our efforts are often slightly misdirected. People will work for years and ultimately achieve a lifestyle that isn’t quite… Read more
