This Drives My Husband Crazy

The thing I do that drives my husband crazy (not like that, this is a PG-rated post) is that when I am concentrating deeply on something I don’t hear him if he tries to talk to me. When I am in that mode, I don’t hear anything at all outside of my own head. I…

Prayer for the Depressed

Please say a prayer with me today for those suffering from depression. If you know someone with depression, let them know they have not been forgotten.

House Rules – Words Not Allowed

There are three phrases/words not allowed in my house. 1. Jesus Christ (unless actually referring to Jesus), 2. shut up, and 3. proverbial. It actually pains me to hear people say “Jesus Christ!” so casually. Do they understand the magnitude of their disrespect? Do they care? Our kids are taught to understand. And, if I…

Self Righteousness

Is it self righteous for one to say he or she is not self righteous? Could be. I think if one is truly not self righteous then they don’t have to say it to try to convince people of it. Not going to lie, I slip into self righteous mode sometimes. It’s awful because I…

Truesdays

Have you noticed how it’s becoming so rare for people to listen each other? We all have stories to share, but few people take time to hear them. I believe we would all be richer if we simply listed to one another. Our experiences are meant to be shared. In telling our stories we bring…

Jesus Teaches the Religion of the Spirit

“I have called upon you to be born again, to be born of the spirit.

Why Me? (a Peach and Beech episode)

“I’m sad,” said Peach. Beech looked sideways at Peach and wanted to say something sarcastic. But, something told her this wasn’t the time for crude humor. “Why is that?” “Life is so hard. Why do we have to struggle so much when other people have it so easy?” Beech thought for a moment. She was…

Intention for the Day

Before you walk out the door in the morning, think about making a declaration of what kind of day you intend to have….a positive-thinking day; a productive day; a day of organization and goal-setting; a day of being kind to others; a day of motivation; a day of prayer. Whatever may presently be your need…

A Prayer for the Broken Hearted

Please say a prayer for comfort and peace for the brokenhearted. Pray they may be wrapped in God’s love and healing warmth, that they may be grateful for the gift of a loving spirit and that they may have the courage to love again.

Vivid Dreams

So many mornings I have woken up and immediately said to my husband, “I had the weirdest dream.” It doesn’t even phase him anymore because it happens so often. My dreams are very vivid and I almost always remember them in great detail. A wise woman told me recently that I should be keeping a…
