Religion. The reason behind many atrocities in our world. We sit on opposite sides of a table and spew hate at each other while claiming that we are closer to God than the other. We twist scriptures to formulate doctrine that advance our selfish ambitions; while our hearts are void of love and concern forContinue reading “No – I Don’t…”

Is This Love?
Is this love, is this love that I’m feeling? The question of a lifetime. Those two pictures above were taken at a season in my life when someone felt they loved me. They were the ones who took the pictures. I seemed happy, didn’t I? Now in retrospect, the wiser me wonders. Was it love?Continue reading “Is This Love?”
Then I Did
August 1983, as a young girl I penned these words in little diary. These words bear testament to the complexity of the heart and it’s ability to misinform and mislead. ‘ It can’t be wrong to love him so much. I’ll never stop loving him!’ [And then I did]. ‘Lord show me the way. __________________Continue reading “Then I Did”
Too Young for Love
This morning I found an old diary with entries made in the 1980s. As a young teenager I walked through a plethora of emotions on any given day. They were real and they mattered. Those were some unbelievably tumultuous seasons. My need to journal started back then. This was my way of unburdening my heartContinue reading “Too Young for Love”

That Entanglement
This week I chose to be in a reflective mode. After asking myself some hard questions, I began to ponder the times my soul had been so entangled it might have impaired my perception of people and their place in my life. In an earlier post ‘That Boy’, I shared a season in my lifeContinue reading “That Entanglement”
My Struggle
Maybe you’re like me, at times you struggle with your faith. What you believe opposed to what you should believe. This week I had an eye-opening moment as I realized that something I once believed for was now slowly fading away. Meaning, it appeared that in the ‘waiting’, my faith had slowly waned. Now, evenContinue reading “My Struggle”
It’s a Love Thing
Today was a tough one. Cried a time or two as I watched the body of a young man being lowered in a grave. His family went home without him. All that’s left are memories. I just feel like writing something about love. Love has a way of causing the heart to beat again. EspeciallyContinue reading “It’s a Love Thing”
