Getting To The Top
Perhaps you’re facing something more difficult than a trail winding up a mountain. Is it a difficult marriage? Is your adult child wandering away from the faith you believed he’d keep? Is someone you love sick? Has the doctor told you something isn’t quite right and there are more tests to be done? Did your boss tell you that the company is making cut-backs and your job is in jeopardy? Perhaps people are saying things about you that are not true. Whatever the difficulty, I challenge you to give them to the Maker of the beautiful world we live in. He knows your difficulty. He’s right there with you. He loves you.

Let’s Remember
We can trust in the God who loves us more than we love each other or ourselves.
The Key
I really enjoy looking back sometimes. Looking back usually shows you how you’ve moved forward. I write a blog, keep a journal and write down prayer requests. Then I can look back and see how God has worked in my life. It’s amazing, actually.
Nineteen forty-six
I thought about the various zero milestones in my life. I remembered each one of them. Some were more special than the other. Others were really difficult ones and with not much joy. I clearly remember the one ten years ago....
Face Your Fears
Yet I have to do it. Face my fear. And then move on with courage. Facing the fear is the most difficult.
Sleepless Nights Turned Into Joy!
Grief happens to everyone at some time in their life and in the grieving, there is work.
A Bluesy, Blah-like, Sort of Day
After twenty-some years of treasuring it, alas, when opening the storage boxes, I found it broken! “Oh no!” I wailed.
Time–You Cannot Stop It

Another Change, Yet Blessed Hope
