I found a box of letters that friends had written to me – when I was in college – 30 years ago!
It’s like finding a time capsule.
The letters reminded me of things I’ve forgotten about in my own life. I knew that I went to Japan and Hong Kong when I was in…
I’m sure everyone is writing about 9/11 today; I’ll add some of my random thoughts about life.
I believe that war and violence is a part of this life. Our hearts are full of selfishness, impure motives, and wickedness; there can be no peace. Whether it is global peace, national peace, or inner peace, there is no utopia. We are always on the edge of another tragedy -bombing, fatal car accident, terminal cancer, child abuse, rape, murder, the list goes on.
The post at Trey’s blog about church being a jerk factory made me sad, sad because it’s all too true.
Why do we see quarrels within the church? Why is there gossiping and bitterness in the church? Shouldn’t the church be a place of refuge from the “jerkness” in the world?
When I was single, many many moons ago, one of the most oft asked questions in any discussion was, “How do you know if this is Mr. Right (or Mrs. Right for the guys in our conversation)?”
I’ve finally figured out the answer. It’s a little late for me now. But maybe this will help you.
In difficult economic times, many non-profits are struggling. If you’ve been blessed by God with a job, this would be a good time to give a little extra so those ministries can continue to do good work.
There are so many good organizations, how do you decide which ones to give to?
Last week at church, R gave me some feedback that I really appreciated. Without going into details, I asked him and C how I can improve. They gave me good advice that I will definitely act on. Thanks, R and C.
We all have blindspots that need good friends to point them out to us.…
I realize how little I expect from God by the prayers I pray. I have such low expectations from life.
What do I really want God to do in my life? What do I really want to see happen in the world around me?
Don’t I want God to do more than just easing the…
When a caller would complain to Dr. Laura about her spouse or about getting a divorce, her response would be something like – the person you hate now is the person you were once so in love with you couldn’t live without. You had babies with this person.
Ever have one of those days when you have time on your hands…and you don’t know what to do with it?
I have lots of things I want to do, need to do, and should do. But when the time is finally available to me, I don’t know where to start. My mind is in a million places and I can’t focus on one thing.
With my oldest son, everything was a first – first to check out a preschool, if it’s good, the sisters will follow along later. First to enter kindergarten, first to go to one week of 6th grade science camp, first to go through the complicated process of choosing classes for high school, first to write essays for college applications, first to move into the college dorm, first to go through college commencement. I expect he will be the first to move out on his own.
