IS THIS IMPORTANT?….7/22/2021…Thursday Thought

Sometimes I can get caught up in things that feel important, upset me, drive me nuts, etc. Then I catch a glimpse of what is truly important. That happened this morning. I wasted over an hour with the phone company. Then, I realized I was way behind schedule and opened my planner and up popped,Continue reading “IS THIS IMPORTANT?….7/22/2021…Thursday Thought”

….YOU ARE SOMEBODY….….. Sunday, 7/18/2021…. … Home Communion …

Popeye, the Sailor Man, with Spinach……… July 2, 2021 … Friday

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”
