I wrote an article a while back, 18 Steps to Living Better with Chronic Illness. I thought I’d expand on these one at a time to share just how this works and how it has helped me. Sometimes it’s hard to see things with a short blurb without really expanding the concept. So over the […]

Three Ways to Discover Your Mission
Several weeks ago, I talked about that God isn’t a Genie we can order a cure from, that when we feel alone…God is with us, and why sometimes God chooses not to heal us–because He has a plan to use us. This week, I’d like to share three ways we can discover a mission God […]

You know that old saying. It’s supposed to make you feel better about the dark times you may go through. There’s light at the end of the tunnel. I don’t like that saying. I don’t like it because it isn’t always helpful. What if my tunnel is long? What if it isn’t just a few […]

I often gain insight from reading my Bible in the mornings. I shared last time about one. Well, this one was on the very same day: “Like one who takes away a garment in cold weather, And like vinegar on soda, Is one who sings songs to a heavy heart.” -Proverbs 25:20. I’ve read through […]

So about no score and two months ago, I set forth upon this continent a new weight loss journey conceived in the loss of food liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men were created equal…but not with women! In that time, I have spent my weekdays either walking around my house 10x including […]

Ever notice that boys love to show off their war wounds? They eagerly relate the stories that came to create their scars–each in his turn trying to top the other’s story. Women don’t do that. In fact, we tend to hide our scars. We cover them up with clothing, makeup, and embarrassment. It becomes a […]
