Not in God's Name
I love being a Pastor in the Christian faith. The privilege is one of my heart’s greatest delights and has never yet been a burden. That does not mean, however, that I am unaware of the weight of sacred responsibility that accompanies anyone who stands in the place of this calling to attend to the spiritual care and nurture of others. This awareness shapes both what I say and how I say it. I…
Lady Liberty
Photo of Statue of Liberty with text of Emma Lazarus’ poem “The New Colossus” which is inscribed on the monument’s base. A national identity is a challenging thing to articulate – if every person is more than just one thing, and this is a nation of, for, and by those people, then it, of course, must be more than one thing. But, just as we as individuals are not all things so we as a nation…

March is National Reading Month... (like I need an excuse to read)
The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse by; Charlie Mackesy I have always read All. The. Books. I was graced with parents who looked at learning as a lifelong privilege and responsibility, easily accessed through the written word. Open books were always in our home and part of the daily rhythm of life. I don’t think there was ever a room of any home we lived in that didn’t include a stack of…

AdventPhotos 2018 – Watch
I haven’t felt great today, so I’ve hung out in bed; watching TV. I’ve also been on the phone, dealt with some insurance stuff, done some reading and writing, handled emails & texts, and surfed social media while watching TV. I could tell you some of the stuff I watched, but I know I missed more than I caught.
When I decided to eat something a little bit ago what I wanted was a soft-boiled…

Lather, rinse, repeat
The winding down of Brain Tumor Awareness Month just happens to coincide with the winding down of my injection cycle. Every 12 weeks I head to my neurologist for a series of 33 injections of Botox spread across my scalp. This was my week. It does nothing for the tumor itself, but it does typically give me about 9 weeks of improvement to the secondary allodynia. And yes, it is the same Botox…

Live Long & Prosper
One of the surprising things about living with a brain tumor, is that you can indeed live with a brain tumor - hopefully for a really long time.
The Lifters
A number of years ago, well before my first brain tumor diagnosis my pastor at the time, Kevin Seymour, preached a sermon on the Leaners and the Lifters. In relationships, some people are Leaners; they always need to be on the receiving end of the relational exchange. We’ve all got some of those in our life. But there are some others who are the Lifters. When they are walking alongside you…

Sometimes You Fake It a Little
I’ve been fortunate to have been given the accomodation of video-remoting in to my classes. So, when I’m in a bit of a rough spot, I can just add a necklace and pair of earrings to my jammies and slippers and no one will be any the wiser. Technology is a very good thing:-).
I Got A Feeling That Today’s Gonna Be A Good Day Good days are amazingly good! I do all the things; driving with the music on and the windows down; grocery and pharmacy; writing and lunch meeting; pedicure and an evening drive for a vanilla cone with candy sprinkles.
Silver Linings
When I married Bill, I told him I was game to move anywhere except California or Cleveland; I didn’t like either of those places. Fast forward to 2002; I received my first brain tumor diagnosis and started researching where the best doctors and facilities working with my diagnosis were located. I would have gone anywhere in the US, but I ended up only needing to travel a couple of hours north…
