This week has caught me with excuses. I am living my life in the midst of blaspheming individuals and/or congregations on a daily-weekly-monthly-yearly basis–and this week, I threw up my hands in utter disgust and desperation. I am failing to see what my teenytiny influence is having on anyone coming nearer to the cross of [...]

I’m not talkin’ about “centering prayer”, or yoga, or eastern meditation here.

Before I knew Jesus, I didn’t have before and afters. I just lived.
Now, I do.
And lately, my before and afters have taken on a whole new meaning.

So, girls. You know who you [...]

I have been struggling this week about Who I Am In Christ. I have a lot of issues stemming from my childhood about my identity–and when I found Jesus, I thought those had been “removed”. Turns out, notsomuch. But It’s been good for me to read and re-read the promises and identities that He’s given [...]

so very little time.
With Summer swim team in full swing, kids going here there and everywhere, and a husband who likes my attention when he gets home from work, I’ve had no time to write! But I have lots of thoughts.
Including the following topics,which will be addressed by me in the coming weeks. Even if [...]

In fact, in my BC days, (Before Christ) I didn’t get it. Thought it was a bunch of baloney. People fakin’ it. You know. (you do know, right??)
That was BC.
I gotta tell you–There have been just a [...]

…….is in the eye of the beholder, right? I have to admit to my thousands of readers faithful friends who follow this itty bitty blog that I struggle with the concept of beauty. Not so much NOW, but before my CREATOR got ahold of my heart and changed my concept of what BEAUTY really is……
