Irritability!
Irritability (blog) Today was a day when I had to face an ugly truth about myself. It is something that I have been aware of…but thought that it can be overcome. I get irritated easily, and often….and for the simplest things. As I get older I seem to be able to mask it a bit…

Princess
Not long ago we were flying over Windsor Castle in London. It looks just Iike something out of a fairy tale!! We avidly read the magazines and newspapers to see what the royals are up to. The life of a princess is a fantasy that many grow up with. We read the Disney stories and…

Heaven?
“Proof of Heaven” is the name of the book I just finished. It seems to have been on the bestseller lists for a bit. It’s no wonder, people want to know if heaven exists and if there is an afterlife. Deep down, in our core, there is a longing for the connection to God. Does…

Potluck
Our church had a potluck this last Sunday afternoon. I couldn’t help but notice that the food on the table is a direct example of how many types of people there are around us. This world is so diverse, and so colorful. We have sour, sweet, salty, soggy, high fat, lean, stiff, wilted, uncooked and…

Comfort Zone
I have a very strong personal zone around me. Come too close and I move…I try not to, but I do!!! Come in for an impromptu hug and I stiffen, or at least I used to. It takes a lot of work to relax and be aware of the other person…and maybe even of their…
