Mending Broken Glass With Dreams

Right in the middle of a difficult move, a colorful vase dropped to the floor while unpacking. It shattered into what looked like a thousand pieces. I sat down on the floor at that point and just cried my eyes out. I had lost my home in the infamous housing and lending crash of 2008.Continue reading “Mending Broken Glass With Dreams”

Where is the Love?

Whitney Houston came out with a new song back in the early 80’s called “The Greatest Love of All”. I needed that song so much. There is no lonelier place to be than in a relationship alone. That was what I had. Every day was empty, hurtful, and alone. I am not one to cheatContinue reading “Where is the Love?”

Addictions Are Not for the Weak

Yesterday I was going through some photos of those I have known of who have struggled with addictions of many kinds. Most of them are no longer here on earth. Some still are and struggling. Then there are those who feel they have it “under control” only choosing a new addiction to supply their needs.Continue reading “Addictions Are Not for the Weak”

Don’t Cause Your Brother, or Another to Stumble

It’s not uncommon for me to get more than one message in a day. When I Pastored my churches I often had more messages lined up than I could give at one time! This one is so timely and important always. Being a female it always kind of bugs me that the Bible more oftenContinue reading “Don’t Cause Your Brother, or Another to Stumble”

Brother Against Brother, and So it Goes On…

If you live in this world you can not help but see or hear of some of the discord or violence experienced in it. It always seems like it’s worse than it ever has been. We hear of how violence is increasing. It might be. Or maybe violence is being enacted in a different wayContinue reading “Brother Against Brother, and So it Goes On…”

Living in the Present Mindful Moment

Quite a while back Dr Wayne Dyer came out with his book, “The Power of Now”. Dr. Dyer, (aka one of my favorite bald guys), is no longer with us, but his book lives on. The main idea is living every day in the moment that has presented itself. This does not mean to notContinue reading “Living in the Present Mindful Moment”

The Changing of a Season

One thing that can always be counted on in nature is the changing of seasons. I have found it to be true in our lives as well. Just like the book of Ecclesiastes in the Bible says: “There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens.” We all goContinue reading “The Changing of a Season”

Reiki Healing and Christianity

In my current research, I have found more and more medical professionals are recognizing the value of Reiki in healing ailments. Counselors and therapists are recognizing the value of Reiki healing for their patients with anxiety, depression, and emotional scars from the past. The one area that is now beginning to see the value inContinue reading “Reiki Healing and Christianity”

Trust, and the Truth Will Reveal Itself

As I see it, there are two kinds of truth. There is truth with a capital “T” meaning higher or divine truth. Then there is truth as in the opposite of a lie. The statement in my title is about truth with a small “t” or the opposite of a lie. Lying, deception, setting upContinue reading “Trust, and the Truth Will Reveal Itself”

The Shoe is on the Other Foot

It will happen. “The shoe will eventually end up on the other foot.” The statement, “The shoe is on the other foot,” means someone who had the disadvantage in a situation now has the advantage in some area. I don’t know why, but having a shoe on the other foot always makes me think IContinue reading “The Shoe is on the Other Foot”
