So I’m going through this thing right now… You see, “writing” has been “what I do”… …my preferred way of communication… The words have flowed onto the page every day for a few years now, and really, for most of my life, off and on… And while I still write in my every day for… Read More 4.7.2022 – So I’m going through this thing right now…

March 31, 2022

I no longer write on this blog every day… (There, I said it… …and do you know how much I’ve wrestled with it?) Do I still write? Yes. Will I still write? I sure hope so!

3.15.2022 – Urgent Reminder: Jesus is Lord

March 15, 2022

I don’t think I have ever had such a deep realization… of our desperate need to get back to the purity of the simple gospel of Jesus Christ.

3.7.2022 – God isn’t “complicated”…

March 7, 2022

…but He is complex. A lot of times God does things much differently than we expect. His ways are not our ways. We must learn to draw closer, draw nearer, and look closely… to see Him, and to understand. But that doesn’t mean that God is “complicated“… He’s complex. 🌈 But He makes it simple… Read More 3.7.2022 – God isn’t “complicated”…

2.19.2022 – Learning to Overcome

February 19, 2022

One of the things I am learning about living life in the midst of facing fears and anxiety, is learning to accept… that fear and anxiety might not always just “go away” when I’d like them to “just go away.” Learning to accept… that I won’t always be swept up and “rescued” from all of… Read More 2.19.2022 – Learning to Overcome

February 2, 2022

God has been reminding me from time to time, over the last couple of years, of these memories with Him (that I had forgotten until I found the old home videos).

January 25, 2022

You know what? Over the last couple of weeks, to be very honest, I have dipped into this “what if, what if” kind of thinking.
