The Shriveled Soul
For the last few months I have been reading “Having a Mary Spirit” by Joanna Weaver. A fantastic book, I would recommend it to anyone who wants to really get to the root of what is happening inside their soul. The last chapter I read talked about the root of bitterness and how it shrivels…

The Silent Scream (part 2)
It didn’t take long for the counselor to figure out what was wrong. Within a few sessions it became obvious that I had some form of PTSD. (I had suspected that myself, but it was a relief to hear someone else confirm it.) She also added to that, as there were another few issues as…

A Better Place (Part 2)
Did you think about it? Is it possible to make the world a better place? Is it worth trying to live a life that is fully invested in the happiness of others? What’s in it for us? And should it matter? It should matter. It affects all of us, and all of our surroundings. It…

Stretch Marks
There are days when I look at my stretch marks and wish them away. It would be nice to wear a cuter bathing suit, or a hipper pair of jeans. I know it’s all about vanity, but I am human, and a woman…can’t help those moments. But these marks are here to stay, and I…

Degrees of Separation?
We are all connected. There have been studies done that show we are only 7 degrees away from every human on this planet. If you let that sink in, it really does go to show how small our world is…and how interconnected we are. Have you ever had someone talk about a friend and you…

Passing the Buck
For most of my life I would sit in the pew and listen to pleas for some cause or another. The television shows that I enjoyed watching had long commercial breaks showing hungry children and opportunities for helping someone in need. I would tune it out, change the channel…it made me uncomfortable. It’s not like…

“Did You Feel the Mountains Tremble?”
There is a song going through my head this morning! It feels like an anthem for this coming year. When the ones who believe get together and sing and praise together, the enemy will flee! There is something in the air…can you feel it??? “Did you feel the mountains tremble Did you hear the oceans…
