Justice. Mercy. Grace.

I knew I was going to write a blog this morning, but wasn’t sure exactly what to write about. I have had a few ideas swirling around in my head for a few weeks but always like to ask God to “show” me what He wants me to reason out at the moment. It isContinueContinue reading “Justice. Mercy. Grace.”

Let there be light

I should warn you, that I am going to try to explain some principles of physics in this post. The warning is mostly for those of you who understand physics, because this is going to be a little more like “Physics For Dummies.” Maybe an apology would be more appropriate for what’s to follow. HereContinueContinue reading “Let there be light”

“Keep coming back”

Over the years, I have heard from several people who attend recovery groups that a common refrain at their meetings is “keep coming back.” It’s often said after a newcomer shares a bit of their story and even more often, after anyone at all expresses their exasperation, frustration or despair about their ability to successfullyContinueContinue reading ““Keep coming back””

Going back to Cali

Before we get going, if it’s been a minute since you read my previous blog on resentments, kindly go back and prepare yourself for the “rest of the story” to come. Ready? OK. They found it. The remnant. The teensy tiny bit of ovary left in my adorable cat, Cali , when she was spayed.ContinueContinue reading “Going back to Cali”

“Off the Wagon”

There are very bumpy and susceptible to potholes and inclement road conditions. You really do have be paying prettyContinueContinue reading ““Off the Wagon””

“Touch Red”

It’s been awhile since we have explored the lessons I learned working at a Special Ed Pre-School. In case you are new to my blog, I have a series of entries about how “Everything I Need to Know I can learn in Special-Ed Pre School.” I feel like I should make a disclaimer before IContinueContinue reading ““Touch Red””

Today’s the Day

Today’s the day. A day my friend and I have been talking and dreaming about for 20 years. I am presently on an airplane heading to Napa Valley with one of my oldest friends (as in, “been friends for 20 years” old ). After one has a terminal disease, one realizes that life is tooContinueContinue reading “Today’s the Day”
