This post is a little like the last one, because a confession I must make is that I often jump the gun ahead of God’s plan for me, which results in chaos and anxiety. Sometimes it’s a control issue. I know, I know, we can’t even control our own lives, how on earth will weContinue reading “Pieces of Chaos”

Pondering
Where better to ponder than my own blog? Perhaps you will chime in with your own blatherings? I am fond of saying: “I don’t think God put His mark on a certain religion and said “that’s that.” Not in regards to “Christianity” but instead to the myriad of religions. Is being Catholic better than beingContinue reading “Pondering”
Live, laugh, love
It’s not just a catchy slogan, although it kind of is! I think it incorporates all the ways in which we need to live (not should). Live with Jesus in your heart, be a good example, pray with abandon. Laugh, because it’s the “best medicine,” and it brings a smile. Love the world, open yourContinue reading “Live, laugh, love”
Prayer Assists
Last year I had my left knee replaced. What a journey that was! I learned to depend on the various assists that were suggested. A walker, physical therapy, the many exercises, learning how to manage stairs and then graduating to a cane. And now, my body moves easily without help. In our prayer life, thereContinue reading “Prayer Assists”
Like A Waterfall
This morning I attended a women’s once-a-month church group. We got to know each other with coffee and introductions. We watched a video on God’s love, talked in small groups after and then did a guided meditation prayer to end our time together. One of the examples of God’s love is that; like the enormousContinue reading “Like A Waterfall”
At the end of the day
Have you been kind? Thoughtful? Forgiving? Did you go out of your way to help a stranger? Or were you stuck in a rut, unable to do more than required? We all have days that are upbeat or down in the dumps. All that Jesus asks of us (ALL!!!) is to be His “hands andContinue reading “At the end of the day”
God is in the Details
As I look out my window, I see that our Asian Lilacs are “so close,” ready to pop with bloom any minute now! And the fragrance!!! If the computer had smell-o-vision, wouldn’t that be a joy! Have you ever brought flowers from the outside; in? Did you notice the ants crawling around? Oh great, IContinue reading “God is in the Details”
New and Improved
I took the entire month of May off from writing. I needed time to decompress, read, take walks, enjoy my days. I lasted almost 30 days. A few days ago I decided it was time to start this blog again, and have committed to writing every single day. Why? Well, it keeps the blog freshContinue reading “New and Improved”
Writing Sabbatical
I’m taking the remainder of April and all of May 2022 off to decompress. May God continue to bless you.
The Wishing Machine
Today as I hold tight onto a prayer request, hoping that Jesus will push this one through, I am reminded and have confessed to; that God is not a wishing machine. We cannot go to Him when we have exhausted all earthly attempts at solving the issue. He must be our FIRST line of defense.Continue reading “The Wishing Machine”
