So it should not be so easy to rattle me, you know? I come to school to work on my dissertation while my son is in welding class for 5 hours. I figure this is a great time to get some typing done, yes? The internet will not work for me for the first 90…

It was a lovely, lovely day! Sundays are by far the best days of the week! I love spending the morning at Church Unlimited, knowing my children are listening to the message in the sanctuary. I love helping in the control room. It gives me such joy to be even of such little assistance in…

Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, and in all things give thanks. I Thessalonians 5:17 My prayer tonight is one of thanks, Lord. I have had much and I have had little – and I am trying to find contentment in each. I thank You that although I do not see a way to get out…

Lord, you are the only one who can step into my family’s situation and give us peace. Peace from the fighting. Peace from the blaming. Peace from the hurting. I am not great at apologizing or forgiving – what an awful pair of weaknesses. Help me be better at both. Forgiveness especially. Every time we…

Lord, I am at the end of myself. I have been here for a while. In church today, Pastor said maybe we ought to start changing our prayers from, “God, I want…” to “God, What can I do for You today?” This hit me – it spoke deep into my soul. Help me get my…
