There is always something happening in our lives, and the last couple of weeks have been no exception. I was going to ignore one thing that happened, or at least save it for later with a different subject, but something happened yesterday that caused me to change my mind. First, let me give you a … Continue reading Healing and Being Healthy

Punishment and Healing
When I was a child and did something wrong, the punishment was usually long and arduous, especially if it involved both of my parents. And regardless of the circumstances, regardless of whether or not I was simply grounded to my room, spanked, or if it involved yelling at me, it always involved a lecture about … Continue reading Punishment and Healing
History Is Written By The…
The temperature in the desert is up again, and so is the humidity. We've made some recent changes to our routine, adding in regular yoga and more meditation exercises, and I'm seeking to make other changes to remove some areas of negativity that have gotten unreasonable. Making these changes, has given me time to think, … Continue reading History Is Written By The…
Pay to What???
So as many of you know, music in our home isn't just something that we play, it's a big part of what we do. Music is life in our home, and there is always at least one project happening, and often more than one. I've been to more shows than I can count where, if … Continue reading Pay to What???
Getting Real
Today, I need to get personal, and I need to get real. I could ask the question, "What does it take to become a minister?", or make a comment regarding hypocrisy, and how most people (including myself), will make complaints about what other people are doing, but refuse to see it in themselves.

The uncomfortability of being part of a dysfunctional home was preferable to the fear of not knowing. Plus, having someone else in the … Continue reading Spending Time Alone
Drama, Drama Everywhere…
and not a bite of news on which to think. The last several days, as I usually do, I've been watching the headlines in the "news", and I keep wondering, "Where is it? Where is my news?". I keep watching the headlines, and nothing that I see in the news matches what I see and … Continue reading Drama, Drama Everywhere…
Sudden Changes
This week I had a sudden, unexpected schedule change at work. I could look at it as an event that got in the way of my prior plans, or I could see it as a benefit to current issues and events in my life. I prefer the second viewpoint. While my husband and I did … Continue reading Sudden Changes
The Responsibility of Ministry
On several occasions I have received requests for assistance that I am not able to fulfill due to the nature of the request. The request often involve being asked to "solve a problem" for the person asking. These requests come from a misunderstanding of what a minister is, and what exactly a minister does, or … Continue reading The Responsibility of Ministry
Time Flies With the Winds of Change
So many things seem to be happening lately, I am having a hard time keeping up. This year seems to be flying by. I can't believe it's June already, and mid-summer is upon us already. There are so many things I want to write about, and so little time to write with everything going on. … Continue reading Time Flies With the Winds of Change
