War Council

1553) Sometimes in life I find myself being sucked into a vortex of emotion. I have lived inside my skin long enough to know that during this swirling, making important decisions isn’t prudent. For example, when someone does or says something to me and I experience a surge of emotion, it’s probably good to let

Graciousness

1552) My husband bravely watches the news every evening, and I say bravely because there is so much angst among many and to me it gets tiring. One of the news shows my husband watches is The Five on Fox News. I’m usually doing other things while it’s on, but I’m aware of its basic

Recipe for Happiness

1551) I have a confession to make, though I’m a pretty good cook (at least my husband says so), I cannot make brownies. I know, right? Even the simplest recipe and directions I find on the box of a mix doesn’t really help. Why? I don’t have a clue, but my husband and I laugh about

Seeing Isn’t Always Believing

1550) I’ve written before that while growing up, I felt that people mentioned in the Bible as having great faith (or demonstrating it in their actions) had an advantage over me. After all, didn’t they hear God’s words and experienced or witnessed great miracles? Wouldn’t faith in God be so much easier under these circumstances?

The Facts of Life

1549) As a middle-aged, going on senior-aged individual, I am facing a reality that I have blindly resisted and that is, in this life, there will always be pain. Because of this, I’d rather stick my head in the sand and pretend that if I can just think a painful situation through, I can make the

Assumptions Are Not Helpful

1548) I don’t know about the rest of you, but I am too quick to make assumptions and even quicker, believing them as fact. I assume I know what my husband is thinking. I assume my friends know what I am struggling with. I assume I know what the driver in front of me is going

Silent Crises

1547) There are moments in life that are difficult and tragic. Perhaps it’s a loved one who is suffering with some physical illness. It could be the loss of a much-needed job. It may be the death of someone you were extremely close to. Most people understand any of these solemn events because they are

Be Careful Whom You Trust

1546) Part of the job I have, teaching language arts, involves teaching kids the “truth” about the Wild, Wild Web; the internet. Yes, kids these days use electronics probably more than any of us do, but it does not mean they know how to prudently use it. So, to combat this “knowledge,” I teach the

Angry with God?

1545)  There have been times in my life when I have gotten so angry at God, I could literally scream. These are times when the pain inside is so raw and the feeling of abandonment so real, I am tempted to turn my back on a God who claims to love me. Have you ever

Young Love

1544) When I see young people in love, I smile and shake my head. Why? Because I know what love was like early in my relationship with my husband and I know what it looks like now, 37 years later. They are two very different types of love. “Young” love is all-consuming. The glimpse of
