Hope Does Not Disapoint…A Season of Hope

I thought I’d share something I wrote for my other blog…let me know your thoughts.

“Today a new sun rises for me; everything lives,
everything is animated, everything seems to speak to me
of my passion, everything invites me to cherish it.”
Anne De Lenclos

I don’t know what it is about Autumn, October especially, that inspires me so. To [...]

Summer Is Here!

It is officially summer here…..
and I am officially trying to start this blog back up.
KattyRae has generously offered to help me in my efforts to revive this site; i.e. sprucing up the look and all that fun stuff!
Now, I am trying to sort through the contributors….some of them have had their lives [...]

Olympic Training

I’m a day late, again! I’m sorry. The Olympics have made my life a little more difficult to schedule, but hey, it’s just once every four years.
As you might gather from the above statement, like most of you, I have been watching the Olympics. Experiencing the adrenaline rush as our athletes compete with [...]

A Continuation on the Subject of Singleness.

I was reading in Elizabeth George’s book, “Loving God With All Your Mind”, this morning. The back cover (and I don’t know who wrote this) says “When we find our thoughts overwhelmed by fear, worry, and depression, it’s dificult to keep our minds focused on truth and joy!” And don’t I know it!  As I’ve [...]

All I Want

I cannot describe the impact that this video has on me. Everyone should see it at least once a week!
This song has been one of my favorites since I first heard it years ago, but when I saw the video, it made more sense and the words just fell into place. [...]

Prodigal Daughter

I just started reading What’s So Amazing About Grace by Philip Yancey. It is a great book so far, exploring the different facets of grace and how it is so easy to lose sight of this incredible gift.
I wanted to relay his take on the prodigal son. This story brings the parable a little closer [...]

Thoughts on thoughts

During my Bible readings lately, I have been trying to find passages on Godly thinking. The first one I found was Philippians 4: 8:
“Finally brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is [...]

Pride Go’eth Before A Fall…

My internet connection has been fouling up this past week; so my apologies for another tardy post.

Thoughts on Wisdom

Reading Stonerose’s post brought to mind some thoughts I had had at one time about “wisdom from above”. So, I went digging through some of my old notebooks until I had found what I had written down. It was just a few scribbles that I had written while the subject was on my mind but [...]

The Gentleness of Wisdom

“Who among you is wise and understanding? Let him show by his good behavior his deeds in the gentleness of wisdom.”
James 3:13
The gentleness of wisdom. While very beautiful and poetic, what does it mean?
I was quite at a loss as to what my post would be composed of this evening; and so, I took up [...]
