Don’t Quit Mid-Stream — Go for the Big Picture
A dear friend’s FB post inspired me to write this blog. So many frustrations and disappointments held her captive to the present, the distorted, out-of-focus picture of today’s struggles. I get it. Sometimes it seems all hell has broken loose and we struggle to breathe in the midst of the heat — not thinking about…
An Opportunity to Choose Great Joy
Choose joy? When challenges and disappointments come? How can we count all this stuff as joy? You young’uns may not remember the old Hee Haw Show where the cast members sang this “miserable” song that went like this: “Gloom, despair, and agony on me; Deep, dark depression, excessive misery; If it weren’t for bad luck,…
APPOINTMENT or DISAPPOINTMENT
CBS News Headline this morning is this: “Super Bowl 2018: Eagles pull off stunning win over Patriots”. Whether you are a Patriots or an Eagles fan or not a football fan at all, if you tuned into the Super Bowl game last night and watched it for any period of time, you would agree that…

I know how easy it is to dwell on something or someone that hurt me. But, that gets us nowhere. I remember the void I…
“I AM THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD”
A couple of weeks ago, I heard from a friend who wanted to meet with me because she was very troubled, so we met at a restaurant, and spent about two hours talking about “issues” in her life — those issues had been going on for many years, and she was consumed with it all…
Temporarily Out of Order – Let It Go
A few days ago, I posted about taking on life, and its ups and downs and twists and turns like riding in a roller coaster – I said, “Just throw your hands up in the air and enjoy the ride.” But, a friend shared with me…. “Roller coaster rides make me want to throw up!”…
