Encouragement, reassurance and support are all good for the soul. They spur us on, especially in times of discouragement and negative self talk. However I’ve learned to be wary of how addicted I am to the applause of others. Their applause may stop and when it does – we can start to question who weContinue reading “The Applause”

Say It
Have ever felt disappointed by or even angry at God? The part of you that’s sane knows that He’s all just, all true, and all perfect. He makes no mistakes – His love is unconditional and limitless. Why would I – mere mortal- dare to even question His ways or His acts? I don’t know.Continue reading “Say It”
Kept Sane
How do you do this? This was asked of me some years ago while I was walking through a very difficult season in my life. In the eyes of the observer, I appeared at peace and in total control. I smiled before I responded quite calmly, ‘ Only JESUS’. I know this may sound likeContinue reading “Kept Sane”
Flawed and Chosen
This week while reading about the events leading up to the crucifixion as recorded in Matthew 26, something interesting caught my attention. Jesus told Peter that he would deny Him later. Peter passionately disagreed – ‘Even if I must die with you, I will not deny you!” And all the disciples said the same. WhatContinue reading “Flawed and Chosen”
Your Love
There’s an old song that echoes the sentiment that’s at the forefront of my mind often: ‘When He was on the cross, I was on His mind’. When one of Christ’s followers attempted to defend and protect Him , He said, ‘Don’t you realize that I could ask my Father for thousands of angels toContinue reading “Your Love”
Unplug
After being around for over 50 years, I’ve had the privilege of living in the simpler days free of devices and the urgency to respond to everyone ASAP. In the last few decades, I’ve also found myself with the masses struggling to unplug. Fighting the need to do everything , see everything, and respond toContinue reading “Unplug”
Sometimes I Want to Know
This is one of my favorite things to do while traveling. I love the details – to know the where, the when, and how fast. Why do I want this information? I’m not too sure, but I love having it. Don’t you wish life offered this channel as an option. If you’re like me, thereContinue reading “Sometimes I Want to Know”
I’m Trying
I’ve been on a mini staycation for the last view days. Unwinding, recalibrating and relaxing- by myself. I took this picture as a reminder of the imperfect me; the one I’m working on. At home I noticed this behavior: I have a habit of leaving cabinet and cupboard doors opened. They don’t stay open forContinue reading “I’m Trying”
Eyes Opened
Yesterday I rode ‘The Eye’ – 400ft up. There was beauty to be seen from a different vantage point. While on another ride a few months ago, a lady beside me said, “You can’t see the beauty with your eyes closed.” There were parts of the ride where I had closed my eyes while screamingContinue reading “Eyes Opened”
Feelings – Nothing More
For a few months I’ve not been writing as often as I used to. A number of events or situations may have contributed to this trench I find myself in. If I’m to be honest however, I can easily attribute it to one major thing – feelings. Yesterday I ignored those pesky ‘enemies of creativity’Continue reading “Feelings – Nothing More”
