This morning was the first time I’ve had an opportunity to ride my bike for a while. I’ve had grandchildren visiting or other obligations that have gotten in the way. It seemed like a really nice morning, so I grabbed my keys (so I could lock the house up), put on my sunglasses, and put … More Bike Ride
We all go through it. We all have them. We all want to run away and hide from time to time.I’m talking about periods of loneliness, self doubt, self loathing, feeling neglected and forgotten. Right now, I am pretty low. Family that has caused more distress than comfort, the world that continues assaulting Christian values … More Weary
Favorites, we all have them. Whether it’s a favorite parent, sibling, friend, teacher, there are times when we just like someone or something better than another. Nothing wrong with that.

I’ll just retreat, stick to myself, stop trying, and not ever reach out to people again. It’s safe here. They can’t … More How to Deal With the Fear of Rejection
Opposites attract. Ask anyone and they will more than likely tell you their spouse is from a different planet and managed to act normal long enough to hoodwink them into marriage. Well, okay, so that is not entirely accurate, but, most spouses come from a crazy family, right? As in ours was normal, but these … More Someone Else’s Crazy
Today is Saturday. Today is wedding day. My husband’s belief is that weddings screw up an otherwise, really good day for him. I happen to find weddings romantic and like most females, are ready to enjoy the pageantry of the whole affair. The dresses. Thee dress. The colors, the decorations, the pretty cake and the … More Weddings (Ben there, done that)
This is going to be a short post. I just want you to think about something for a moment. Normally, I take joy in encouraging others. I like to make people feel better about themselves. Add to that the fact I don’t like to see anyone hurt. That combination usually has me finding ways and … More When the Encourager Needs to be Encouraged
I am promoting a friend’s blog post today. I feel she has really addressed an issue that has been needing to be addressed. I feel convicted by this, I hope others are too. Please take the time to read, it’s worth it. Great job Malia! via Lipstick and likes and the lost
