Should You Have Known?

One of the great privileges the Lord has provided me is to serve people as a Christian mediator (sometimes arbitrator and sometimes coach).  I just finished a full day mediation with Godly people who were able to work through difficult “stuff” and come to a reconciling resolution of both substantive and relational conflict issues. I

Nobody Knows

As a young girl in the late 50’s, I loved playing the organ at my grandmother’s house – I was taking piano lessons but there were so many more sounds you could get out of an organ.   And she had tons of sheet music.  Treasure! One of the pieces I remember (and could play

How’s Your Perfection Coming?

This post was originally published on Jan.30, 2022  and updated on Feb. 2, 2025 OK, remember “The Fonz”?  That’s Fonzie from the TV series “Happy Days”.  Never was there a character that was more perfect (in his own mind).  He was a 1950’s lovable and almost superhuman greaser who provided us so many laughs. I

Inventory Time

Not long ago, I shared in a blog my journey to becoming a “Family History Enthusiast” and asked if you were one, also.   I started in my early marriage, pre-kids, getting stories and family history from my husband’s grandmother – she even gave me a journal of her father’s in which he noted how much

Are You in the Battle

In one of my small groups, we have a member who was diagnosed with a cancer that is terribly ominous and which has taken her for short stints out-of-country and for 5 months away from home in treatment in another state.  Hard stuff affecting every function of her body and with a terrible prognosis. Thankfully,

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
