Same Life, New Story by Jan Silvious has the subtitle “Change Your Perspective to Change Your Life”. It is indeed a good book for women who are going through difficult circumstances and need encouragement to change. The book is also said to be a Bible study. But it’s not a study guide as I expected. It’s more just a book with discussion questions.

Josephine Tey, the pen name of Elizabeth Mackintosh, is a contemporary of Agatha Christie. I’ve been trying to request her books from the library, but it seems not many of her books are in print. The first time I requested a book by Tey, it arrived in Chinese! That was interesting.

LOL
Spent an hour of reading Andy Borowitz today. That’s how my life is this week.
On my birthday today, I have some random thoughts.
– I don’t like to look at past photos of my children when they were little. It makes me grieve the lost of childhood with them. Those days are gone and there is no going back. I rather look at pictures of what they are doing now so I can enjoy the present.
There is help for those with muscle pain. When I had knee pain, my doctor referred me to see a physical therapist. The therapist gave me ultrasound treatments that eased the pain.
Now you can do it yourself at home. Try the LG-TEC Dual Combo TENS Unit and Muscle Stimulator. I don’t know if…
I was talking to a friend about decision making. Every decision we make involves some kind of risk.
If we choose to go to Hawaii, we risk the opportunity lost of not going to Paris.
If we choose to go to law school, we risk the opportunity lost of being an engineer.
Whenever someone says that they are not being “fed” by their pastor’s preaching at their church, I tell them to not criticize or complain. Afterall, it is not easy to deliver a good sermon every Sunday. Not every pastor is a good preacher.
Rather than expecting your pastor to “feed” you (and I don’t think…
