The Reason for My Season
Comments (9)I am sure that most of you are familiar with an old song, sung by Foreigner - I Want to Know What Love Is. It is a very soulful song about heartache, pain and love. In it, the singer pleads for someone to show him what love is. I think we have all been through periods in our lives where we don’t feel loved and we wish that someone would just show us what love really is. I know I have.
I remember one of the first times I felt bereft of love. I was reeling from the heartbreak of my first love. I felt at the time that nothing could fill the gaping hole in my heart. I really wanted to...

Thanksgiving Thank You Blow-out
Comments (13)
I have not stopped giving thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers.
~Ephesians 1:16
Today is November 18th, one week and one day until Thanksgiving. My heart is bursting with thanksgiving today as I look at my life and remember all the people who have touched my life over the past year. It has been a sometimes tumultuous year, but wondrous too in so many ways. I am blessed, beyond measure, with friends and family who ride the roller coaster of life with me on a daily basis. That says something for their fortitude and strength of character, let me tell you. They know who they...

Holiday Family Stress and Traditions
Comments (8) The Thanksgiving holiday can be a lot of fun, but it can also cause some stress, with all the family dynamics involved and relatives vying for attention and maximum face time. I have heard from more than one friend this year that they would just as soon call off the holidays rather than have to deal with all of the frustration of their extended families. This is unfortunate that a time that is supposed to be set aside for giving thanks is turned into a family power struggle. I wish that everyone (read in-laws) could get a grip on their ego and put aside their own...

I Wrote Love on My Arms
Comments (25)Painful, ugly stories are often hard to tell. Yet they are most often the ones that need to be told. Our stories of pain, depression, apathy and self abuse allow others to understand that they are not alone. When we dig deeply into our own sordid pasts, tell the stories we wish were not true, that is when we are most helpful to others. As with many difficult things in life, the first step is the hardest.
I grew up in a middle class home. A Christian home. I was not abused or tormented in any way. I was also never told that I...

A Picture Journal of Fifth Grade Camp
Comments (9)
My youngest child is in fifth grade this year. The fifth grade at our school has a tradition of going to camp where the kids have a chance to get out into nature and learn science lesson. It is a really enjoyable experience and the kids look forward to going to camp for years before they finally hit fifth grade and are old enough to attend. I have four kids myself and all four of my kids have had a great time at camp. I was lucky enough to attend with my daughter when she was in fifth grade four years ago, but my husband went with the next two kids, so, I was...

For the bible tells me so is a documentary about Christianity and homosexuality. I am posting all of the videos here for people to watch. I am not going to get into a back and forth with closed minded people who feel themselves worthy to judge the lifestyle of other people about whom they know nothing. So keep your small opions to yourself. I am just posting this to give people something to think about. Opening your mind is not a sin.

Don't be deceived

In 2 Timothy 3:16-17 we, as Christians are told that every word of the bible is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness. It does not, however say that all scripture is of equal importance. We have to be discerning in our lives in order to figure out the really important things that the bible is setting out to teach us. It doesn't make any sense that we, as CHRISTians should give more credence to Old Testament law or Paul's letters or any other passages in scripture than we do to the words of Jesus Christ...

Do you live with regrets or learn from experiences?
Comments (6) I asked myself this question today as I perused the past 25 years of my life. I certainly had a lot of experiences and there are more than a few things I regret doing, but to be stuck in the regret would be to not learn from the experiences of the past and not learning from past experiences is perhaps one of the saddest ways to live.
I look at the girl I was at age twenty and I do wish that I could go back and tell that girl that she was way more than she gave herself credit for. She had so very little in the way of self esteem that it would be wonderful to be able...

Our experience with "the flu".
Comments (8) Flu is going around at an alarming rate at the schools where my kids attend. The four of them are spread out between three different schools in our district and in each school there have been a number of kids out with diagnosed flu and with flu-like syptoms. This has been going on most of the school year thus far. Since this is unusual for this time of year in our warm-weather area, I have taken a few percautions to keep my kids' immune system strong so that they stay well, or at least are able to stave off the worst effects of illness when it comes their way. ...
