I’ve Been Thanking #3

This is my January Thanksliving page: Tuesday, January 1, 2008. After a rocky start, I was able to go with Jif and LG to meet my brother and his family for lunch, halfway between our home and his home in Delaware. While we waited for a table, I learned some new things about my SIL, [...]

(CAUTION: This one ain’t pretty. It’s kind of gritty. If you’re looking for witty, this is not the right city. Um…sorry. I’ll stop that now. But really, this is heavy. Especially the last one.) 71. Since reading blogs, I’ve encountered a lot of anti-Christian sentiment, passion, furor. I often wonder what has been done to [...]

On a car ride, playing with Jif’s fancy cell phone. Mine merely sends and receives calls, as far as I know. His could launch a nuclear attack, I think. I don’t know how to use it (I remain a techno-dunce). It’s called a Palm Trio (Palm Tree, OH!). I push this button, then toggle that [...]

I just saw the website of a 25-year-old “Life Coach.” REALLY? I hope I’m not ageist, but, really? I surely didn’t know enough about life at age 25 to sell coaching services.

“It takes a lot of courage to release the familiar and seemingly secure, to embrace the new. But there is no real security in what is no longer meaningful. There is more security in the adventurous and exciting, for in movement there is life, and in change there is power.” – Alan Cohen Daniel 2:21-22

Y’all know I’m a techno-dunce. I didn’t know what a GPS was until my pastor mentioned it in a sermon, many months ago. She said (and I really like this analogy) that God is like a GPS system. God gives us ways to go, provides guidance, and sometimes we miss that guidance. Or sometimes we [...]
