Will They Find It?

First things first – have you written (or recorded) it yet? What’s the “it”?   Your faith story.  How did you come to know the Lord, accept the Lord as your Savior, and what are the details around that? Oh, I hear you – you’ve “told” them (the family, close friends, someone).  OK, you have

Resolutions

I am all in for looking back at the end of a year to identify big events that impacted me, to identify things for which I am grateful, and yes, to consider things that I would like to have change in my life. HOWEVER (yes, all caps!) – I no longer even consider doing new

Natural vs Synthetic

I recently did a blog on antibiotics – nature’s way.  As I went through my recent hip replacement surgery, I found the topic came up again.  And I am taking myself back down this review of “natural substances” vs. “prescription medication” discussion. Hurray for morphine and all those anesthesia items (synthetics) and the prescriptions that

Questions To Consider

I give credit to Jenna Christina, a documentary family photographer, for the inspiration and provocative questions she shared in her blog.  Yes, I wondered what that job description was, too, and here are her words:  documentary newborn and family photographer splitting her time between Finland and San Jose, capturing family life “as is” in the

Habitual Peacemaker

A few months ago I was asked by Christian Legal Society to review a book for them.  They publish a quarterly journal which also has a few book reviews. I agreed.  (I know, I know, this was supposed to be the season I was saying “no” to overwhelm.  But I love to read.) The title

At What Age

Are you afraid it’s too late for you to start exercising?   Isabel D. Price asked that question in her blog.  What did it bring up for me?  Not just the age issue even though I am 78. It was the “afraid” word.  That was where I realized I was being controlled – by my fear.

Rock From Which You Were Cut

“Listen to Me, you who pursue righteousness, you who seek the Lord:   Look to the rock from which you were cut,  and to the quarry from which you were dug.”  Isaiah 51:1 As Christians, we ought never to overlook our heritage.  It helps us to understand our identity, and it gives us a sense of

Words Have Power

Throughout the years of doing Christian mediations and coaching people in conflict, I have been amazed at the power of the words often at the core of the struggle and hurt.   So when I heard Tim Keller’s podcast on the power of words, I loved how he handled the whole topic. I did this blog on the

Why Is America So Sick?

Back in 2014 when I learned about nutritional supplementation, I remember thinking it was an amazingly different way of addressing health and illness.  And soon after that revelation, I learned M.D.’s and other traditional medical sources only trust M.D.’s and think very little, generally, of the value of nutritional supplementation and wholistic health methods and

Family History Enthusiast

What’s a “family history enthusiast”, you say?  Okay, I admit that I just recently adopted this moniker to fit the category I fell in.  And I think there may be more of us in that bucket than I realized. In my early 20’s, married but pre-kids, I somehow got excited about researching family history.  I
