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 …”

STEPPING OUT .. 7/15/2021 …Thriving on Thursday

I have a tendency to pull away into my own world, especially if there is conflict. I have discovered that no matter what our personalities or coping traits are, we can step out in faith. And, in stepping out, it is okay if we don’t get it all right, as long as we are livingContinue reading “STEPPING OUT .. 7/15/2021 …Thriving on Thursday”

GRACE: IT’S IMPORTANT!… 6/30/2021 … Wednesday

I have known a few people who have had mental breakdowns because they knew that they didn’t match the standard of perfection which they felt was demanded of them by their religious beliefs. Yesterday, I read a document that brought forth those feelings in me. I finally turned off the computer and turned on collegeContinue reading “GRACE: IT’S IMPORTANT!… 6/30/2021 … Wednesday”

Daughters of the Holy One… 06/27/2021….Sunday Home Communion

“Woooohoo!” That was me yelling last night as my friend’s college team won the Baseball championship. It was a great game and both teams played their hearts out, but one team now gets to claim they are number one for a year. It is interesting how much rank means to us. People laugh when IContinue reading “Daughters of the Holy One… 06/27/2021….Sunday Home Communion”
