None of us are immune to stress or worry. We all suffer, maybe in different ways, and we all feel the effects of external forces. Some of us try to hide while others can't help but showing their feelings. Neither way is right or wrong. We also cannot measure the level of worry another has... … Continue reading Worry

Apples and Doors
“Eat the damn apple” Technically, it wasn’t said exactly that way, but the tone…wow! I heard words that weren’t intended…or said. But it got my attention… Isn’t that what we all need sometimes? We need someone to smack us upside the head and help us regain our focus. Not literally, of course, just in a … Continue reading Apples and Doors
Proof
“Then certain of the scribes and of the Pharisees answered, saying, Master, we would see a sign from thee.” Matthew 12:38 (KJV) We look for signs everywhere telling us what to do, where to go, what to speak…we want proof we are going right. Proof is an interesting concept. Elisha spoke to the king and … Continue reading Proof
New Things
There is nothing new under the sun. Sometimes that is a scary thought. To us, we have new experiences, we meet new people, we even take new paths…starting a new job can be a little frightening. Maybe we take the bus for the first time and we are alone in the journey; it’s totally new … Continue reading New Things

Why, then, can’t we … Continue reading Rumors
A Time
“To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:” Ecclesiastes 3:1 (KJV)So many times in my life I try to force things… I force relationships…I force deadlines… I force decisions… Conversations… Writing…and I know these things are forced and therefore fruitless. Nothing works on “my” time. I must … Continue reading A Time
Endure
Light weight in quick repetition increases endurance. Maybe that’s why the Children of Grace are subject to opposition… Usually it’s the little happenings that chip away at their resolve. Not the big things. When something monumental happens, we are surrounded by people who love and care for us. We have a support system that builds … Continue reading Endure

Just Listen
I had a friend send me a video to watch and listen and then relate my thoughts and feelings about it. I started on a blank page to compose my reply… The page remains blank to this day. It’s not that I had no thoughts or nothing to say (believe me, I always have thoughts … Continue reading Just Listen
