I never thought that I
would sit here on this sun-filled day to write a Grief Letter to my family and
friends but here I sit.
Almost five months ago,
I suffered a devastating loss when I got home from a luncheon. I came home fully expecting to see that
smiling face of my beloved Barry. As I went

I want to offer up a big thank you to all the women in my
Tuesday morning bible study. Most of
the women with the exception of the new ones, who have joined us these past
couple of weeks, know how much I love watching and discussing current events as
well as biblical prophecy.

"You (Jesus) raise me up to more than I can be" are the results of those words when we have survived the storm.

Mind over matter.
We have all heard that before.
The implication of that saying is that if you put your mind to something
you can accomplish that. While yes that may be true in many instances it does
not always work that way.

was thinking about how I wanted to return to a bible study that I am involved

I was a young girl but not so young that I did not feel this yearning, this desire, this emptiness deep down. All the hurts, all the tears, all the turmoil. At the time, I knew there had to be more to life than "this." But, what was it? I had to find out and thus my search began.

Greetings everyone,
Obviously, it has been several months since I have posted a blog. As many of you know life has hit hard these past few months. While I was out biking today, I was thinking how the past year and a half has been a time of non-stop trials and tribulations. What I also realized today was that each one was an issue of the heart - some were physical like in my brother's case.

“Blessed are you who weep now, for you will laugh.” - Luke 6:21
HMMMM! It is hard to imagine a smile coming to my face when I am going through something that hurts so much. However, I have learned there does come a time when the hurt is gone and the smiles and laughter return. But I also learned some other lessons along the way that I would like to share with you.&Unknownnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6783341273287509577.post-37870658068804416672010-02-06T16:32:00.001-05:002014-01-09T11:03:42.297-05:00Have you met my friend Judas?
Have you met my friend Judas? I am sure you have. Oh, he’s your friend too. I thought so. I had a sneaky suspicion of such. Therefore, now that it’s clear that we share the same friend I think for the purpose of this blog I’m going to use the word “her” or “she” since most of my readers are women.

Before I begin this article I want to wish you all a year filled with God’s blessing and grace.

Yep! A broken mailbox is what we had when we got home from vacation. Just a few days before heading back home, I received a phone call from my friend Sherel who was staying at our home while we were gone....I couldn't leave my cats alone for 11 days so she and her husband offered to stay at our place with their cat, Ms. Kitty.

VACATION! VACATION! VACATION! AAAHHH! The splendor of God that was displayed throughout our stay in Ellijay, Ga. was truly breathtaking…from the leaves turning from green to their colors of glorious golds to radiant reds…to the star filled sky seen so clearly both at night and in the early morning hours…to the full moon just a couple of nights before we left.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING! I love Thanksgiving. I love cooking Thanksgiving dinner. I love the Pumpkin Pies. I love it all…from the cooling temperatures to the changing of the leaves, to the hustle and bustle of getting everything ready for that perfect dinner and yes…even the football games.

Happy New Year! Words we hear quite bit at the beginning of every New Year. And, I do believe when people wish you a Happy New Year their wishes are sincere and well intended.
But for many of us, our year turns out to be anything but happy. As we are more than halfway through 2009 I can honestly say that 2009 has not been a very “happy” year.

Here is a great follow up to "Get Your House In Order." It was sent to me the day after the posting....do you think that's just coincidence? Me neither....more like a "God-incidence" wouldn't you say? It's a great follow-up piece. I've made some slight changes to it in order for it to tie in a little bit more with "Get Your House In Order."

Whenever I leave home on a trip even if it's just overnight, I always make sure that my house is in order. Couple reasons for that. Should anything fatal happen while I'm away I want things to be neat, tidy, nothing left undone for whoever would have to come in and go through my things.

I bet you’ve heard that before. I also know that 2008 was not a good year for most people, they are glad it is over with and a New Year is now under way.
But as I thought about 2008 I couldn’t help but think it was a good year for me for several reasons. One, I’m still here to talk about it.

We’ve all heard that question “Why believe in (a) God?” at some point in our lives. The question and statement “Why believe in a god? Just be good for goodness sake” will now be advertised on buses throughout the D.C. area this Christmas season. The signs have been bought and paid for by an atheist group.

These are treacherous and desperate times accompanied by despair in the lives of so many. And, I can’t help but look around me, and everywhere I turn I see someone who has lost their hope.

Here in Florida we have now entered into the “hurricane season.” What that means to most people is to start planning ahead and making preparations should we get hit by a hurricane.

This past weekend I attended with Women of Faith Conference here in Jacksonville. The theme this year was “Infinite Grace.”
