I’m seeking a few things in a church that are musts. Call me picky but I believe these are very important things. Sinners – People who know that they are sinners, saved by grace, through nothing they did, it’s God’s gift, Christ’s work. They are not holier than thou, looking down their nose with the … Continue reading
Understand…
I really intended for 2012 to be the year I went back to church. I boxed up all of my excuses at the end of 2011. Here we are 6 Sundays passed and I have yet to attend. I had planned to return to my old church and try it again, but then I didn’t. … Continue reading
Blowing The Dust Off This Place
I have been negligent with this blog page, and for that I apologize. I have neglected a lot of things really. I stopped going to church after being judged a bit too much by people there. I lost sight of the fact that they too are sinners and imperfect. I got my feelings hurt and … Continue reading

My struggle is with me. I know where I belong, and know where I should turn when my … Continue reading
At The Edge Of The Abyss…
She is sitting on the bridge, over the abyss, swinging her legs, talking out loud to herself and tossing stones into the darkness below… “I know you are here, know that you come to look at me.” “Are you sleeping? I cannot sleep until the very early hours of the morning, and then it is a tormented sleep. The dreams … Continue reading
When The Hurt Runs Deep….
One of my all time favorite Christian authors, is Kay Arthur. I’ve read easily half a dozen of her books, and participated in a number of bible studies using her study material. God has gifted this woman with incredible wisdom and the ability to teach God’s word and apply it to today. I’m getting ready … Continue reading
My New Adventure
YEARS ago when my kids were very little, I was an Avon Representative. I admit back then I did it to get things at a discount. I’m doing it again, with the goal of hopefully being able to supplement providing childcare in my home, and eventually being able to support myself on the income. Lofty … Continue reading
Thankful Thursday
I am so thankful for my family, especially the Diva Den! These 4 women I live with are just the best when I am in a blue funk and need a laugh. I am so thankful for the ability to smell! There are some things we smell that just send the mood soaring, like fresh … Continue reading
