I've written a series of articles for "Boundless", the webzine of Focus on the Family. This was possibly the easiest to write, but the most difficult to share. It's strange to see it up in print now.
Confessions of a Cutter
"Make this your common practice: Confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you can live together whole and healed." James 5:16, MSG
There's freedom in honesty. It's out there for the world to see. I can't take it back, and I don't want to.

Something's Coming
God is cooking something up...........it's best stated in Scripture and song lyrics :)
"There’s something’ due any day;
I will know right away
Soon as it shows.
"It’s only just out of reach,
Down the block, on a beach,
Under a tree.
I got a feelin’ there’s a miracle due,
Gonna come true,
Comin’ to me!
"Something’s coming, something’ good,
If I can wait!
Something’s comin’, I don’t know what it is
But it is gonna be great!"Stephen Sondheim
"Back to the start, my heart is heavy
Feels like it's time to dream again
I hear your voice, and yes I'm ready
To dance upon this barren land
Hope in my hands"
Delirious?
"Now something inside is awakening,
Like a dream I once had and forgot.
And it's something I'm scared of
And something I don't want to stop."
Sara Groves
"For I know the thoughts and plans that I have for you, says the Lord, thoughts and plans for welfare and peace and not for evil, to give you hope in your final outcome. Then you will call upon Me, and you will come and pray to Me, and I will hear and heed you. Then you will seek Me, inquire for, and require Me [as a vital necessity] and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart." Jeremiah 29:11-13

Stuff, Stuff & More Stuff
Much has happened since my last post.
We had a great trip down south to see family. It was a looooong drive, and not one I'd like to do again in the near future, especially with a baby & a dog!
A couple of days after we returned, I found out my beloved grandmother had a fall and had not woken up. She was 95. After 11 days on hospice care, with just oxygen, she passed away on Friday, 39 years to the day after her husband died. She was an amazing women! A mom, wife, pianist, organist, composer, and wonderful grand and great grandmother.
It's snowing again. Trees have been knocked down, and people quite close to us have lost power. I'm planning on laying low, doing some cooking, hanging out with Baby Bear. I'm finally cooking a turkey I had in my freezer for a month & a half. This should be interesting as I've never cooked a turkey! I may also attempt an apple crisp.

This is my new blog :)
This is my new blog! My blog on my site was so inundated with spam comments that I couldn't keep up with moderating them. I'm hoping I'll be able to control it better here.
