Who's Wearing Blinders and What's the Harm?
It’s a time to call out willful ignorance and the harm it is doing.
They could have protected me. They should have protected me.They said they didn’t know. What they should have said was that they didn’t want to know.I try to “get it.” I try to allow for the pain it would have caused them to admit the truth. This was someone they loved. Someone they were taught to respect.I try to “get it.” But I cannot. I cannot because their willful ignorance allowed harm to…

Unhinged "Christians"
Unhinged “Christians”
Jesus said in Matthew 22 that everything hangs on these two commandments:
1. Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. And …
2. Love your neighbor as yourself.
I often think of this as a door hanging on two hinges. If one hinge is broken, the door does not function as a door but rather as a barrier. Likewise, if someone is ignoring one or…

Disinfectants, Debates, and Deplorables - Part 1 of 2
Disinfectants, Debates, and Deplorables – Part 1 of 2
You may want to view the video prelude to this post which explains some new developments in the disinfectant debacle.
In Facebook discussions this week regarding President Trump’s April 23rd White House briefing and his comment/question*on injection of disinfectants as a possible way to deal with COVID-19, I found myself thinking time and again about a bit of wisdom from my high school…

From "Saddest Easter Ever" to "Can't Get Enough of this Hope-Filled Song"
From “Saddest Easter Ever” to “Can’t Get Enough of this Hope-Filled Song”
I woke up this morning thinking, This is the saddest Easter I’ve ever experienced. On top of not being able to see my kids and grandkids or gather with church family for worship, I guess I was still reeling a bit from the fact that within a very short timespan yesterday I learned two people I know died from COVID-19. One was a former pastor and one was a classmate from high school.
Adding to my…

One Hour to Live and a Good Friday Thought
At a church service several weeks ago, before we could no longer meet together due to COVID-19, we were challenged to think about what we would do if we only had a certain amount of time to live.
Side note: Don’t worry, this was not some morbid scare tactic taking advantage of our coronavirus worries. It was actually just before the virus was really on anyone’s radar to be worried about, at least…

Hoping God Proves Me Wrong
So far, my annual writing retreat has been a reflection retreat. I’ve been in quite the writing slump for quite some time. It’s even been hard for me to journal (that alone is usually a sign I’m not in a good place). The past six years have been filled with losses for me. I have been grieving the loss of my sister. My father suffered a strokewhich has taken much of him away from me. And in…

A Hospital Maze, a Labyrinth and a Path for My Father
A Hospital Maze, a Labyrinth and a Path for My Father
I woke up thinking, Who in the world would be knocking on my door at 3:00 am? I was alone, so I didn’t want to answer, but the knocking was persistent. If it’s a family emergency, they surely would have tried to call first, I reasoned as I grabbed my phone. Alarmed to see a multitude of messages and texts from my brothers and my mom, I hurried to the door without even checking what the messages…

When Voting Your Conscience Is Unnerving, God Is in Control
When Voting Your Conscience Is Unnerving, God Is in Control
I voted my conscience today and am trusting God to handle all the side issues and fallout of this election. And though, yes, I trust Him to do what’s best that’s actually a very unnerving thought in this case. Here’s why:
Sometimes God gives us what we want. Israel wanted a king even though His plan was for them to live by a different system than the nations around them. He gave them Saul.…

#PitchWars, #PimpMyBio and (Too) Much #Pondering
So, I wasn’t going to do the #PimpMyBio for #PitchWars, but after a night of writing (and wasting time playing games) I’m just slap-happy enough to give it a shot. I’m mainly doing it to help spread the word about Pitch Wars. As described by Brenda Drake, who started the contest five years ago (Thank you, Brenda!), …

How I Beat Writer's Block - This Time
How I Beat Writer’s Block – This Time
As you can tell from the lack of posts here recently, I’ve been in a writing funk. It’s affected not only my blogging, but also my journaling. Worst of all, it was hindering me from getting out a proposal for my book.
In the past, painting has helped me get back in writing mode, but it wasn’t working this time. I tried other things that have worked before. I did some reading, went to a few of my…

Big Things Often Start with Small Change
Big Things Often Start with Small Change
My daughter is getting married in November, so our family has started a weight loss challenge to prepare for that day of constant picture taking. The six of us have lost a total of 71.8 pounds in the two months we’ve been at it. I lost ten pounds in February. That was a tremendous start for me. I’m not sure if I’ve ever lost more than five or six pounds in that amount of time before.
Unfortunate…

Help Me Decide: To Prologue or Not to Prologue?
I’m stuck on whether or not to use a prologue for my book. Maybe you can help me decide by taking the following two single question polls.
My first question for you: Do you ever read the prologue to a book?
Take Our Poll
Now, to get more specific. Should I put the following information in a prologue or in the first chapter? Before taking the poll, here’s some information and excerpts to help…

Sharing a Letter to Young Christian Feminists
While I’m on hiatus finishing up the editing on my book, here’s a great read from Cheryl Bridges Johns at The Junia Project. Beautifully written and spot on. With my book off the to-do list soon, I hope to be writing on several of the topics she so eloquently summarizes. Until then, blessings to you.

Just a Thought - On Gender Issues and the Church
Just a Thought – On Gender Issues and the Church
If we are going to take The Curse as our guide for male and female roles, women should never have been allowed to work in the fields of agriculture – in any capacity. That would be the man’s role. It would emasculate him to have her take over any of his duties in that God-assigned arena, just like her taking a job outside the home would today.
