Two people can travel the same path while having different ways to proceed. They do not need to walk the same way. They do not need to keep in stride with one another. In fact, one might choose to ride a bike and weave from side to side. One might sit on the side for…

Awareness
I could never be a talk show host. I need time to gather my thoughts and access to the delete button. This is why I am a writer. In school, I would sometimes say things that came out very wrong. My words did not match the rationale behind my thinking. It could be very embarrassing…
Heart to Heart
The word “cliche” is cliche in itself. It’s overused. So many phrases get tiresome and they fail to induce feeling anymore. I wish the term “heart to heart” still gave people the warm fuzzies. It’s a good one. We need more of it in action. I’ve found it works well, especially in these times. There…
Heather, the First Truesday Story
*This is a true story, though names and places have been changed for privacy. Heather was a bright, tenacious young woman who set out on her own at an early age to seek a better life than that which was promised if she stayed in the small, rural Southern town where her family lived. She…
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. I have called you out of the darkness of authority and the lethargy of tradition into the transcendent light of the realization of the possibility of making for yourselves the greatest discovery possible for the human soul to make –…
