Lessons From Madness
Is it possible to learn anything from insanity? Are there good take aways from crazy? In general, I’d respond negatively to these questions. However, this is the season for March Madness, and I’m learning some really great lessons in this season…
Pillage, Kill and Other Bad Stuff
So why does bad stuff happen? Why don’t our lives always have happy endings and joyful resolutions? I understand that these are basic answers, but I would suggest that bad stuff happens sometimes as a consequence of our choices and bad stuff happens because Satan is an active enemy in our lives. I also recognize that sometimes bad stuff happens, and we don’t know why…
Does God Love You?
If this is a rhetorical question for you, the answer is probably, “Of course!” If this question gives you pause, then you might answer, “Maybe.” Regardless of your answer, I’d like to ask you to take an adventure with me related to this question…
Making Lemonade
Recently, I was remembering a few of the teachers I’ve had who were no bueno. They were probably doing their best and not purposefully unkind, but a few of my teachers had some severely negative impacts on me. One of them even humiliated me in front of the entire class, telling me that I was stupid, arrogant, irresponsible and entirely oblivious to his subject matter…
Stir Fry Mystery
Can you think of some things in your life that are mysteries for you with God? Have you ever asked God why something happened in your life? Have you ever wondered why God put some stuff in the Bible, like the mold protocols in Leviticus? Or the extensive genealogy lists in Numbers? Why did Jesus get cranky sometimes with His disciples? I have lots of questions for God, and there are mysteries that I experience when it comes to thinking about God…
Keep Growing
Now that I’m in my 50’s, I should have stopped growing physically, except that I want to keep growing and learning throughout all of my life. To this end, in the last decade or so I’ve learned to snowboard, taken up writing books, learned to make homemade bread, discovered the joys of wooden jigsaw puzzles and enjoyed picking up a paddle to explore pickleball, along with some other fun stuff…
The Comfort We Receive
What are the difficult things that you’ve walked through? Have you lost someone from a death that made grief a cruel interloper, too real and too unkind? Have you struggled with poor grades, limited opportunities and rejections from universities, causing you to be gun shy from pursuing higher education? Did you grow up in a highly dysfunctional family, maybe around family members with painful personality disorders…
Lessons: 1, 2, 3
This little book is filled with many curious events and thoughts, but here are a few simple things for your consideration and application…
The Pivot Principle
In basketball, we have a pivot foot. This means that we have one foot anchored on the court, and we can turn our bodies, protect the ball and maintain some flexibility without “traveling” and turning the ball over to the opposing team. I like the idea of pivoting because it includes the premise of being anchored along with some adapting and flexibility to move…
What Are You Thinking?!?!???
“What are you smoking?” It’s not uncommon in our house for someone to ask this question. We have three kids who are quickly becoming young adults, independent, and wonderfully unique. Additionally, my husband is on the cusp of being 60 years old, and I’m 54. In relation to our generational outlooks, he is very much a baby boomer, and I’m very much an Xer. Furthermore, our family has two girls and three boys, so there are differences in perspective from a girl and guy point of view…
