Listen to Understand and Not to Reply
If you want to have a better attitude towards someone, then you must change your thoughts about that person.

Road Trip to Maine: Day 2
Day two began with a knock at the door. (Hmm… sounds like the beginning of a good mystery novel.) Of course I was still asleep; after all, number 1-it was only 9:30 am, number 2-I was “on vacation” and lastly, number-3, I’d stayed up late the previous night. I ask you, “Who in their right…

The Luxury of His Power
A Conversation with God 8/8/2016 Me: God, I’m so tired of looking fat. God: Talk to me about it. Me: Well, most of the time I feel okay about it and then I catch a reflection of myself in a mirror or a store-front glass…I see myself as others must see me… and then,…
Upon Dragonfly Wings
A Conversation with God 8/6/2016 Me: Good morning, Lord. God: Good morning, Lisa. Did you sleep well? Me: Yes, Lord…thank you for watching me through the night. God: I’ll never leave you. For just as I told Moses and my children many years ago, “I am the eternal God and I will be your refuge and…
