I know I’ve been oh so quiet since the past couple of weeks. I must admit, that’s me, pondering thoughts to death. Except for this time. I prefer to think I pondered them to life! Because tomorrow is this blog’s 1st year anniversary, and I’ve been working on some new things. 1. I updated my About […]
God Guides You
There was a game show where the contestant has to cross a body of water by jumping from one boulder to another. Some boulders were unstable. If he steps on one, it flips or collapses. If he can’t recover in nanoseconds, he’s in the water and game over. Some boulders were stable, solid, and safe. But the […]
I’m Going to Make It
Three weeks from now is the 1st anniversary of this blog. 🙂 I don’t know much about emojis, but I’m excited-ish. I’m definitely happy. I’ve been beating myself up because I’m not the best planner.

In the midst of the congratulations, someone said THAT. Someone told me I’m being left behind. I’m being left behind. Being left behind isn’t something a Christian wants […]
Swimming Laps
I joined the YMCA. They have lap time in the pool where members swim laps. Back and forth. Backstroke. Freestyle. Any style. With or without kickboards. Just laps. As someone who hates running, I love the idea of swimming as exercise. That I could do. My sister and I get to the pool early Saturday […]
Expect Everything, Extend Grace
There’s a scene in the movie “Did You Hear About the Morgans?” that stuck with me. This separated husband and wife, Paul and Meryl Morgan, witnesses a murder and has to go into witness protection. These city dwellers are placed in a remote town with no access to the Internet, phones, and anyone from their former […]
