Rejection Issues–Healing–Part I
Posted on April 14, 2015 Leave a Comment
Healing is a process. My healing has come in stages. As I go along, I’ll tell my story, in some detail, but not all. I believe I have received personal revelation from God Himself about myself before I was born. Healing comes in different ways. My healing came first from God, then people. When in […]
Eternal Moments of the Day–Nostalgia Time
Posted on March 31, 2015 Leave a Comment
Ten years ago today, my Mother died. Her earthly body died, but her spirit went straight to her Savior. She was 89 and a half. I’ll never forget that day. I can’t believe it’s been ten years. In some ways, it seems longer, because so much has happened since then. In others, it doesn’t seem […]

Wow, am I remiss. How time flies and you don’t even know it. I’m amazed. I said I’d post Part II a week later. Now, it’s been a month. I promised to talk about our personal lives, what brings life and death to our dreams, visions for our life, and relationships. Death to Dreams I […]
The Power of Story

Stories have been told as long as mankind has existed. What is it about stories that so compels us to want to read, hear, or watch them? Stories keep our attention, our interest, and help us learn. I once saw an interview with actor Michael York. Trinity Broadcasting Network (TBN) had hired him to play […]
Spring is Finally on the Way

Although I wouldn’t have known it last Thursday, when seven inches of snow fell. Dozens of robins rode out the snowstorm on our front porch, in our magnolia tree, our garden, and as we discovered yesterday, in front of our garage doors. Now, we’re having a great meltdown of the snow as our temperatures the […]
Fifty Shades of Trash

I’ve heard that a lot of people who call themselves Christians are spending their entertainment money going to see the movie “Fifty Shades of Gray.” My question is: why? Why? Why? I picked this photo out because of it’s title – “Trash in Paradise.” Beautiful island setting with aqua seas in the background. But how […]
Perspectives on Life and Death – Part 1

Last week was very eventful. I celebrated this blog’s one-year anniversary on the day that a prophetic mentor who was only a few years older than me, died. A short time before that, we had ISIS in Libya killing 21 Coptic Christians. Let’s look at life and death today. There are all kinds of life […]
Surprise Post

Sometimes I love surprises. How about you? I was surprised by a birthday party last summer. This blog celebrates it’s first anniversary this week – on Wednesday. I had a blurry rose picture for my first post last year. I changed it to this group of roses. I talked about process. There are processes to […]
For Those with Rejection Issues
Posted on February 11, 2015 2 Comments
I’ve added a new tab on this website. About 13 years ago, I discovered I had “the root of rejection.” What is that, anyway? I’m going to be talking about rejection in all its forms in separate posts under that tab. What I’ll do with the posts, is to put a link to the most […]
Forgiveness is Key

Last week, I talked about what happened at a writer’s conference. You can check out my post HERE. Some of you let me know by comment or email that you think I should “demand” or at least “ask for” an apology from conference organizers. But I’m not going to. Here’s why.
