That 139 song

My hubby will laugh that I’m actually writing a post about this, but what else could I do? I’ve listened to that song incessantly since I first heard it a few weeks ago. It grabbed my heart. Captured my imagination. Stirred my soul. When that happens, and you live and breathe a song, it oozes…Read more That 139 song

The intolerance of tolerance

Nowadays, the big thing in the US (as it was in Europe when I lived there years ago) is tolerance. It is the current zeitgeist. On the surface, there seems nothing wrong with it. After all, the idea is that we should be open to people who are other than us, accept them, be loving…Read more The intolerance of tolerance

Oh, for the love of…!

Friends, a struggle for me to grasp is the idea that God the Father, Abba, loves me. I have been able to wrestle with and come to an understanding that Jesus loves me, but I have always seen the Father differently from Jesus. You too? Anyway, thing is, I’d thought that way all my life…Read more Oh, for the love of…!

What’s DAD got to do with it?

So, Father’s Day 2017 just took place, and a few noted friends commented on the lack of equality in how it is usually celebrated compared to Mother’s Day. Just one of such comments got me thinking.

Throwing e-stones

I came across a TED Talk recently, the title of which immediately captured my attention. It was called “The Price of Shame” and was delivered by Monica Lewinsky, of Clinton presidency infamy. I’m going to be very honest here, most definitely at the risk of exposing myself, but I think it is good because I do…Read more Throwing e-stones

Easterrrrrific!

  What was it that worked for you this year? Was it the multicolored eggs? Or the awesome get-togethers, the great meal time, the chance for contemplation? Were you enamored with the bunny? With seeing people dressed in sweet pastels?   Well, having just gone through another awesome Easter (or “Resurrection”) Sunday, I needed a…Read more Easterrrrrific!
