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

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. Today, I'm … Continue reading Getting Real
Spending Time Alone
For most of my life, I hated being alone. I hated the fear of what was going to return, I hated the fear of not having done enough, or done something wrong. 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
Gratitude versus Demand
So my long work weekend is done, and my work week is almost over. One of the things about my job is that I get to see a lot of people all the time. Some are regulars, some just stop in, then leave and I never see them again. But even in those 30 seconds, … Continue reading Gratitude versus Demand
Sensationalism Run Amuck
Many years ago, I walked away from a potential career in a field that I had loved because I had a major falling out with the actions of one editor. I would not accept her apologizing for the student newspaper telling the truth. I've never regretted the decision I made that day. Journalism in any … Continue reading Sensationalism Run Amuck
