A Womans Guide to Meeting God
The irony didn’t escape my notice. I was right in the middle of watching one of my “Get Healthy” videos—the one on “How to Change Myself When I’d Really Rather Change My Circumstances”. I almost never watch my own messages but I’m so glad I did. So there I sat, in the dark, watching my […]
Quick Quiz: How Do You Know if Something’s Not Healthy (besides food!)? Quick Answer: You feel pain. You cause pain. Ten days ago I threw my back out. I was three quarters of the way through my favorite class at the gym when something felt slightly out of whack. The pain fingered it’s way up […]
When Jesus heard this, he told them, “Healthy people don’t need a doctor—sick people do. I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.”~ Mark 2:17 Last year I launched “25 Days of Blessings” during the month of December. Each day, from Dec 1st through Christmas morning a Bible verse and an application […]

I’m that woman. You know the one. The gal who takes back her Christmas tree. You’ve never met someone who’s actually crazy enough to return a tree? I hadn’t either. And then I became her.

Our dryer broke, my husband is in Haiti, and the guy who delivered a new piece of furniture damaged our stairs and is giving me the run around about repairs. According to the owner, he gave me such a deal I should happily pay for the repairs myself. Seriously? Given my last blog about complaining […]
I feel my mood shift. Just a few moments ago all was well with my soul. But now…somehow life seams heavier. More negative. Nothing earth shattering has taken place in the last half hour. In fact, I’m sitting at Panera trying to grab a quick bite while I work. But it’s hard. At the table […]
