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.

  • I have a great prayer idea for you today.

    A am reading an interesting book, “Praying Upside Down”, by Kelly Odell Stanley. She uses painting as a springboard for her writing, because her father is an artist. I’ve written in the past how I believe we should pray for strangers, even something as simple as “Bless her, Lord, she appears to be having a Read more

  • When fear wakes you up

    Fear is no fun. (This is an old post, but I wanted to share it in case someone needs to read it. For some reason, I think there just might be.) We are at our cabin. Our adorable little red cabin. I’m sitting on the porch of my shed, which is even “adorabler”. (I know.) Read more

  • My purpose? What purpose?

    Do you sometimes feel like all the “Rah, Rah” Ziz, Boom, Ba” kind of sermon you hear or meme you read is just a bunch of hooey? Sometimes do you just want people to quit the cheerleading? I mean it all sounds a bit much after a while, don’t you think? There are times I Read more

  • Riots and Rockets. Shades of the sixties

    Talk about history repeating itself. The sixties were a time of rocket launches and riots. The only difference is that now we are seeing everything unfold twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. We couldn’t avoid it if we tried. This will not be a political post. There’s enough blame to go around for Read more
