I’ve been told that I’m a little on the quirky side…and I can see why.  I don’t like what the average girl likes. I’m not a fan of floral arrangements, massages or manicures and I’d rather be at home than on vacation. I like to think of myself as unique.  And it’s nice to know, I’m in

Just when we think it’s over. It’s not. In the later chapters of the book of Ezekiel, the Israelites were at their lowest point in history. They were not only exiled to Babylon, their sacred temple had been destroyed. In the natural, things looked bleak. But in Ezekiel chapter 47, God gives Ezekiel a vision of

Chloral hydrate. Just the mention of the word makes me cringe. When my son was nine months old, his body was affected by what doctors believed to be a virus.  This virus caused him to experience a high fever, red eyes, red lips and it affected his heart. After his initial hospitalization stay, we were

If you’re a woman over the age of forty, then you know,  the struggle is real. Those annual physicals and everything else that goes with it.  Well, it was that time of year again and there I was, standing by the door in the corner of the room as the technician adjusted the large X-Ray

Are you taking it as the doctor prescribed? One teaspoonful, 5 milliliters, twice daily only if you need it for your cough?”Man: “One

“God rarely writes short stories. So don’t lose heart, even if the plot seems to grow long.”- Bob Sorge It’s a pattern we see throughout scripture, God uses all things (even the unpleasant things which make no sense at the time) for our good and for His glory. Don’t believe me? Let’s look at 2

“It’s your turn…I washed the last set of dishes!” If  I had a dollar for every time I’ve heard my boys make that statement to one another…I’d be a rich woman.  My kids are great but sometimes they forget.  Not only is the roof over their head at no cost to them, so are their

I’m not one for large crowds or detailed planning, but since Indian weddings are massive by nature, I had to just smile and go with it.  So, with a yellow pages phone book in hand, and a guest list of about eight hundred, the planning began (keep in mind, this was before the internet). There

“Enough about me….what do you think about me.”   We laugh, but isn’t it true? I may not say it, but there are times, I think it. Sociologist say we are, by far, the most narcissistic culture. Never before have we built pages around ourselves so others can express how much they “like” us.  And
