!!??!! CHANGE !!??!!… 8/12/2021 …. Thursday….

Thank you for joining with me today in my pondering and prayer on change. The book referenced is Changing for Good, by James Prochaska, John Norcross, and Carlo DiClemente; Harper Collins, 1994. I saw it on my bookshelf in the middle of talking about it.

DISCOVERED. DISAPPOINTED… Tuesday with Ryan! … 8/3/2021

I typed “disappointed” into my phone. At least, I thought I did. When I looked back over it, “disappointed” was now “discovered”. That is more positive! But not quite the same. But I liked it and decided to leave both words. I left both words because it made me think of the Olympics. Those athletesContinue reading “DISCOVERED. DISAPPOINTED… Tuesday with Ryan! … 8/3/2021”

FOR HARMONY AND JOY… 7/27/2021 … Tuesday and Ryan

And for World Peace! I love the Olympics and the possibilities that they hold. I pray for their safety, joy, goodwill, encouragement, and inspiration! Ryan is with me and his patience is running out with this sitting still, so here is our prayer:

BUILDING UP… 7/26/2021… Monday!

What do you love to do? How can you use that love to care for others, to offer encouragement, to build up?

THE ADMIRABLES …7/16/2021 …… Friday Flames …

What will you do to earn a Gold Star or some other prize? I have blown bubbles with Super Bubble to win a t-shirt, raced to look up Bible verses to win a Bible, dressed up for Jazzercize to win an exercise shirt, and other sorts of crazy. That competitive spirit is obviously within me.Continue reading “THE ADMIRABLES …7/16/2021 …… Friday Flames …”

I AM HERE….. 06/23/2021 …..

Paul tells the Corinthians, “Do you want to be the best in something? Do you really want something to brag about? How about being best at generosity, like you said you wanted to be?“ Paul doesn’t even say to give everything away, just to give as you are able. Develop the gift of generosity.
