The new year has begun. I don’t know about you, but it is already going too fast. I have things to accomplish this week, this month, this year. “Goal setting;” there’s that phrase. You know the one. That one that “type A” personalities have set in concrete last year for this year. The rest of … Continue reading Confessing Resolutions; it Means Commitment and Accountability

New Lease On Life!!!
I found this in my drafts. Apparently I forgot to publish this when I wrote it. Rereading it, I got excited and inspired all over again. Enough to seriously appreciate, and take the best care I can of my health. Even though I wrote it last Fall in October, I'm publishing it anyway. It is … Continue reading New Lease On Life!!!

I’m speaking of Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut. … Continue reading Just Can’t Comprehend
The Deep Breath of Satisfaction
I finally got some of my Christmas decorating done. This is a process for me. I take my time and think it through, and maybe even change it around. I may add to, or take away from what I have put out. Bringing in nature items from outside is one way I love to decorate. … Continue reading The Deep Breath of Satisfaction
Decorating for Christmas
It’s that time, again. For Christians, this is the special time we take to focus on the birth of Jesus Christ, the one and only begotten Son of God. Our churches usually hold some sort of Christmas program focused on Jesus. A lot of us have a more charitable heart toward those who don’t have … Continue reading Decorating for Christmas
