Pain is Good!
Today at church our pastor spoke about how pain isn’t always a bad thing. It’s a God given response to something very wrong in our bodies. Without pain a person might not go to the doctor. They might not even know they’re sick until it’s too late! It’s the same with God. Sometimes God can…
Finding Community: Is God Enough?
Today at church our pastor talked about community and how we need to embrace our fellow Christians across the denominations. Too many American Christians are divided by factions. “I’m for the war.” “I’m against the war.” “I’m a Republican.” “I’m a Democrat.” “I’m an attachment parent.” “I’m a Growing Kids parent.” Is that what Christ…

When it Pours it Thunders!
In my last whine, I mentioned that I got really mad at hubby. If I hadn’t have had a rough time with my teen earlier that day, I probably could have handled the situation better, but I didn’t. Though to my credit, I didn’t engage in my ritualistic hip reaction of anger. Instead, I internalized…
On Medals, Awards and a Rock Named Stretch
My husband was frustrated with the amount of clutter and debris piled into our closets and drawers. “Every single thing you open has a bunch of junk in it,” he said, disgustedly. “I mean, just take a look at this drawer,” he pulled open a drawer from a small desk in our bedroom. In it…
