Sunday came early as always; however, I missed its entrance, as my little eyes were closed in sleep, and remained so, until somewhere in the neighborhood of the eleventh hour. So let’s just say, I “arose” at approximately 11’ish, and straight away, stumbled to the window to gaze into yet another cloudy day in Maine. Since…

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…
Road Trip to Maine: Day 1
My road trip to Maine started on an early 4:30 am, Friday morning. To be honest, the alarm rang at 4:30, but of course I hit it and snoozed another 30 minutes. Doesn’t everyone do that? No time for a shower, became the consequence of sleeping away those 30 minutes, so I covered my “woody-woodpecker”…
Grace is Found in Hues of Gray
Recently, I had a family member express concern for my soul. Their reason? I’m a lesbian. Now, first of all, I realize their concern is an expression of love, but I also know, they fear if they fail to warn me, then my blood will stain their hands, at the great white throne of God’s…
Melody of the Soul
Sometimes I shiver with the thought of getting old. This shiver, like a wave of panic, reminds me: Time marches on and stops for no one. Logically, I knew this all along; however, now that I’m over fifty, it’s beginning to really sink in. It’s quite the paradox, for as I gaze into the mirror, I see…
Obvious Mercy
A Conversation with God 8/25/16 Me: Well God, I woke up this morning to three big piles and a puddle. Had to steam mop the floors-of which- I finished the living room, kitchen, dining room, and hallway-ALL- before 7:30 this morning! God: Some days are definitely better than others, but… Me: Yeah, and some nights are…
Outside Looking In
A Conversation with God 8/16/16 Me: God, I’ve been thinking about those who’ve shunned me. Sometimes I feel all alone. I feel their world is going on without me, and I’m on the outside looking in. I have this visual of a dirtied hungry child, hands and nose pressed to a store’s window, watching shoppers…
Depression Really Sucks
A Conversation with God 8/13/2016 God: God morning Lisa. Me: Good morning Lord. God: How are you feeling today? Me: Well, Lord…you know I’ve this “depression” thing going on and sometimes it’s almost more than I can bare. Depression really sucks… God: So, are you depressed today? Me: Not so much today…although I do awake…
Yes Lord…but…I’m Gay
A Conversation with God 8/11/2016 Me: God, as I tarried in your garden, I heard the words of a verse that has given me comfort for many years. God: And what words are they, my child? Me: They go something like this… “…everyone the Father gives Me will come to Me, and those who come…
Maybe the Third Cup’s the Charm!
A Conversation with God 8/10/2016 Me: Good morning, Lord. God: Good morning, Lisa. How are you feeling today? Me: Well, I’m on my second cup of coffee so I’m feeling better. I was a bit stressed at first. God: Tell me about it. Me: Well, Gracie woke me up at 3 am needing to pee…which…
