AM I MY OWN WORST ENEMY?
As Christians, we’re told to trust God in all situations – to carry our burdens to Him – to be still and know that He is God. That sounds almost like a copout – like the easy way out of … Continue reading
MAUDLIN MONDAY
The image of Emmett Kelly is what I remember most about the circus clowns of the old days. Emmett expressed the epitome of maudlin. Maudlin describes itself as self-pity, over sentimental and often tearful. Later in my life, clowns took … Continue reading
POSITIVE OR NEGATIVE?
There are days, when we really have to look hard for things that make us feel good about ourselves, our lives, our futures or our past. Those are the hardest days to get through, because we often find ourselves dwelling on … Continue reading
MAKE ROOM FOR LAUGHTER
It’s not easy to find humor in the events of today, but I think it’s mandatory. Laughter has always been good medicine. Even the Bible talks about how important it is for us. Proverbs 17:22 says, “A joyful heart is … Continue reading
SECRETS
We are all sinners. We live in the shadow of our first parents, Adam and Eve and therefore cannot escape the wages of sin, which is death. I think when we know God provided us with the perfect solution for … Continue reading
WHAT FACE WILL YOU WEAR TODAY?
I must admit – I have a face that can be more like a mask than reality. I have a number of different profile pictures on my facebook page. Many look like a normal, ordinary old lady. Some are filled … Continue reading
MIXED EMOTIONS

HELP! I’M STUCK IN MY SHELL!!
I’ve always had issues with my self image. I’m not sure what caused it, but it may have to do with a need to please everyone. I now realize that giving up my own thoughts in favor of friendship is … Continue reading
A TIME FOR HOMECOMING
For the past week and a few days, I’ve been sharing most of my time with my dog, Gage. Each of us handles our loneliness in different ways. He becomes depressed and doesn’t eat when the master is gone. I, … Continue reading
ONE OF THOSE DAYS
Ever have “one of those days?” I happen to be having one now and it’s not even 9 AM. I went to brush my teeth this morning and one of the lights in the bathroom was burned out. I reached to … Continue reading

YOU’LL NEVER WALK ALONE
How many times have you heard this? My life stinks. I’m going nowhere. I’ve had this problem all my life; it will never go away. I just can’t find the energy anymore. I don’t think God loves me. I’m tired … Continue reading

FAILURE FACE
I’ve always had a special place in my heart for Charlie Brown. He is the ultimate failure – according to Lucy, who of course knows everything. The reason I like Charlie so much is that he reminds me of me. … Continue reading
ORGANIZED CHAOS
As we travel this road called life, we will encounter chaos. It is not the way God intended our path to be. He created perfection. He created order. In the middle of nothing, He melted the darkness and made light. … Continue reading
ANOTHER TEST?
This life is full of tests. So much depends on how we deal with them. I’ve always been one of those who sailed along comfortably and when things started to get choppy, I’d give up. Whether it was looking at … Continue reading
