I did this blog twice and it disappeared. I guess that is a good metaphor for how I feel these days. After 21 years my work decided that they no longer needed me. My natural response? Feel worthless, hurt, review all the things that I thought they should have been more grateful for, be a […]
Why is it that when the team is winning, they take the credit, but when they lose it is the coach’s fault? The worst possible thing that can happen to people is comfort and ease while they happily sin. Read the Bible, every time God comes through and brings victory and prosperity; the people respond […]
Welcome!
Who I am: I am a child of God who loves to go to the Bible and ask the question, “If these things be so, what manner of person ought I then to be? God has designed me with a “So then, what?” brain. Then, to help me find and share answers, I was saved […]
The Touch of the Master’s Hand ‘Twas battered and scarred, and the auctioneer Thought it scarcely worth his whileTo waste much time on the old violin, But held it up with a smile.“What am I bidden, good folks,” he cried, “Who’ll start the bidding for me?”“A dollar, a dollar. Then […]
MY OPINION DOESN’T COUNT
A poem based on I John 3:19=21 The tempter whispers in my heart You sure you even made a start? You never do the things you should, You never do what Jesus would! You are a mess! A hopeless case! The very worst of Adam’s race! Yes, in God’s race, no point to run, Just […]

PRACTICAL means acting as if truth is true! 2 Peter 3 10But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall […]
A POSITIVE SPIN
We have all heard the saying, “when life gives you lemons, make lemonade.” As people of faith, this actually makes sense. The world wants me to take God’s gifts for granted, find fault with my reality, compare with the illusion of other’s reality and wish my reality would just magically change. / Faith suggests that […]
Someone points out that worry can take over and have no clear trigger, be there all the time and even become “comfortable” or at least familiar .. Even with panic attacks, they tend to be attached to worrying about the next one–anticipatory worry– which starts to blend together into constant anxiety. The way the brain […]
YEA! I CAN DO NOTHING
John 15:5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing. I saw this verses’ goal as being to remind me to let go of trying to be strong. When the Bible tells me […]
