Rest, Restore, and Stillness as a Response to Covid-19

It looks like the entire world is slowly entering into a time of rest due to Covid-19, the latest corona-virus to affect humans. As I listen to news reports and updates from around the world, it seems “social distancing” and contagion precautions are everywhere. Lock-downs and recommendations to “shelter in place” are springing up in Read More …

Facing Opposition

It has occurred to me that I may be facing some fierce opposition, or oppositions. A few weeks ago I pretty much ranted in a post to my “diary” about what all my body has been dealing with in the last four months. It hasn’t been pretty, or fun. What makes me think I’m facing Read More …

Dear Diary, We Need to Talk – 20.1

Dear Diary, I need to vent. Well, actually, I think I really need a nap, then a long getaway. And while I’m away, can the “helper fairy” please make a visit and get me all caught up? Yes? Thanks! You’re the best! Now if only it truly worked that way. Lol! But, hey. A girl Read More …

Probable ~ Improbable ~ Impossible

At the church I attend we do a “probable, improbable, and impossible” exercise at the beginning of very calendar year. We fill out what I like to call “the impossible cards”. I think their official name is “Vision Casting” cards. Nevertheless, I’ve come to look forward to the exercise. We fill out a card the Read More …

Melancholy Christmas

For what ever reason, I am feeling a bit melancholy today, despite it being the heart of the Christmas season. There’s just something not quite right about that. Ya know? Christmas is indeed to the time to “be jolly”. Or, that’s what “they” tell us. Nevertheless, “melancholy is where I’m at today. I think its Read More …

Christmas Memories and Lessons Learned

Now that we’re past Thanksgiving, we can focus on Christmas, traditions, and memories new and old. Let’s not get caught up in the arguments of what to call this season. After all I covered that in my Think About It post last year. We have much better things to do with our time, such as Read More …

Family Here and Now, or There and Gone

This Thanksgiving holiday has me thinking about family, those still here and those who have gone from our presence. Like most people, my family has a lot of people that have passed away and are no longer with us. Then there are those that are still living but we’ve lost touch with; those who have Read More …

Caution. Proceed With Caution

Have you ever faced a time when it became abundantly clear you must proceed with caution? You know, when everything on the whole seems to be going along just fine. Everything. Yet, there still seems to be some niggling undercurrent that you simply cannot seem to put your finger on. And, that niggling feeling will Read More …

Scars ~ What Are You Doing With Yours?

Scars. Whether they’re internal or external, I believe every human has scars in this life. Some have both. I have both. Luckily, my external scars have healed beautifully well. Most people don’t even notice the slightest imperfection in the areas of my previous wounds. Yet, if one looks closely enough, my scars can be seen. Read More …

Dreams

I attended a conference this week about dreams and encounters with the presence of God. Did you know that in the Bible there are accounts of twenty dreams and twenty visions? Talk about 20/20 vision! Yep. And they’re not all in the Old Testament either. They also happen under the New Covenant with Jesus Christ. Read More …
