To Treat or Not to Treat

You know.….scrolling thru FB, I see all these memes of not celebrating or celebrating Halloween….and yes, I used to celebrate Halloween – went all out. From a kid I dressed up and went out with parents and friends and got loads of candy – ate on it for months. When I was a teenager I walked the streets of my…

Shabbat Shalom

This set apart day has been GIVEN to you! Yes! The Holy One himself, the King of Kings has invited you to his table to sit with him, to share with him, to BE with him! Are you listening? It is time to accept his long-standing invitation and renew our souls!

It’s a Hump Day….

Yep … today is what they call ‘hump day’ … wonder how they came up with that phrase? I guess because mid week is always a half-way to weekend day…get over the hump day…and a camel has a hump….thereby…’hump day’. Sounds plausible. Anyway – today is Wednesday aka hump-day and I sit here thinking and wondering and contemplating why I’m…

Old….stuff….

Saw this meme on FB today…and it really hit home with me. Maybe cause I’m having to realize that I’m ‘old’ .. well, getting there anyway! When I was 20 I thought 40 was ‘old‘ – when I was 40 I thought 60 was ‘old‘ .. and now, that I’m >70< (did I actually say that OUTLOUD?!)… well, needless to…

The Great I Am

Now here’s a good word we could all live by – A great description of the   Great “I AM” by Bill Bullock: He is the Ultimate Creative Genius. And He’s really, really KIND and PATIENT and MERCIFUL and FORGIVING and FAITHFUL TO COVENANT to boot. He never gets depressed, He is never afraid, He cannot be intimidated, and He refuses…

Stuck in the middle…

So just wondering….anyone else out there feel like they ‘are stuck in the middle’? Sometimes..well, I just feel stuck…stuck…stuck…stuck. But that’s such a self-defeating victim attitude and it serves no purpose except to sink into that …. stuckness. If you find yourself ‘stuck‘ way too often and the slime at the bottom of the pit keeps getting gooier and gooier…

It’s a Journey

When people write and ask me how to ‘find their ministry’, or ‘what is their goal’ – I simply reply by saying….. “It’s a Journey – take one day at a time”. And that is how I try to live….I prepare for the future, I glean from the past, but I try to live in the here and now.  Now,…

A little girl’s dream…

After our boys were grown and married, Jim and I turned our thoughts towards allowing that ‘dream‘ to become reality. What was that dream? Well, to be honest, it was a little girl’s dream – my dream. But my husband, Jim,  was just that kind of guy….he lived to make other people’s dreams come true ~ whether it was myself,…

Memories….

Memories are a very strange phenomenon … if you stop and think about it for very long. Or at the very least…I’m just one strange bird. I’m sure I could get an amen for that! The 24th of July would be our 52 anniversary, if Jim had not been called home three years ago. All week I have been as…
