This is a well established  current that has been tried and tried and relied on for over 45 years.  We have seen each other through the good times and the bad times for almost half a century. I think the ties between the women are the strongest almost like we are the pray warriors and our connect is deep as sisters in our faith. Then there are new friends that God brings into our lives. We add them to our prayers and immediately the circu...

Minutes that seemed like hours. Times you broke out of line only to be corrected and times your mind wandered and you forgot to follow the line... you were staring off into space. OR there was a really neat rock almost five feet away and you desperately want to make a dash for that rock... while no one is looking. No one like the adult in charge. Remember those lines? Hands to your side. Do not touch anyone. Walk in a straight line. How about  the...

This process can open up your heart to find more love surrounding you. When we allow anger and issues to compile over time, they squeeze shut our hearts and we become cold inside.  Forgiving rarely means forgetting. We are too human for that. Does God forgive and forget? It is reasonable to feel hurt and angry over memories because they fester over time. Without forgiving they will never heal. If you can forgive, the wounds will eventually heal and only a scar will remain. Over time even that scar will fade. When you are read...

I don't think so. Well yesterday was overcast and dark...with thick fog and altho the day started out good, by early afternoon I was tired and ready to nap. Terry was in a really grumpy mood as he has an injured back. Despite the mood and the back, we took down the Christmas tree and dismantled the decorations on the fireplace mantel and put away the stockings. That alone was a mood setter for sure.  Then came the realization that there are always choices to make new things happen in our lives... my life is under God's authority, not the dark clouds outside.   Choosing peace and prayer I retreated to my studio to work on a painting.  With that peace came a freshness to my work and the light seemed brighter despite t...
