I'm sure you're shocked. And there is often something beautiful and deep going on behind the scenes. I've been reading Easily Crestfallen, watching a journey of faith unfold. Ray reminds us of something beautiful, God is always with us. Always. As I read Ray's blog I kept hearing the lyrics to Don Francisco's, "Adam! Adam! … Continue reading So, I read a few blogs

The Color Orange or there’s always more to the story
Psalm 139 - fearfully and wonderfully made My sweetie and I have a trumpet vine that,oh!, do I love the flowers because orange! Gazanias live in pots lining the sidewalk and oh! Orange!

Supply and Demand
Earlier this year I got a new phone. I needed one with more memory as the older one "lost" memory when I had to do a hard reset. I was constantly clearing cache, removing apps, trying to turn off built-in apps. So I purchased a new phone, with more memory giving me room for regular … Continue reading Supply and Demand
Bitter? I think not…
Where did we leave off? Oh yeah, I remember now...I was sharing with you how looking deeper changed my perception of Naomi and Ruth. A couple of friends and I are participating in an on-line Bible Study together. We're following along with the emails and video's and then talking to one another. I have a … Continue reading Bitter?

Examining
The last few days I've had the phrase, "help me feel compassion for you" running through my head.

The selfish, self-righteous, if only you'd listen to me the world would be perfect, I'm way … Continue reading Examining

Genesis
The other day I read this post by Sean Kerr, redefining Knights, Princesses and speaking to a Truth that is overlooked in so many societies, and cultures, and people. A way back in Genesis in the creation stories, when God created Adam and Eve there is a built in, inherent equality. God created Eve from … Continue reading Genesis
So, we’ve been told
Beauty is only skin deep. So we've been told. So we're told. Yes, that's an intentional rephrase. While at lunch I perused facebook on my phone and was stopped cold seeing an image of a sweet, long-haired little girl, sitting cross-legged, wielding a pair of shears, poised to cut the "bulge" from her belly. The … Continue reading So, we’ve been told
