The Day I Floated

Today’s word, float, reminded me of when I truly put my trust in Jesus. I was sitting in a revival service, and the evangelist was teaching from the text of, II Kings 6:5-7.  I listened as scripture was read and this is what I heard that night:  But it happened that as one was cutting down…

Confident and Full of Hope

Good day, dear friends!  Here we are at close of another year.  We’ve run, walked, and sometimes crawled these past 365 days.  Now we find ourselves tying the bow, on the box we call 2016, but before we put the box upon the shelf,  may we take a moment to ask the question:  What has…

The Shoe’s the Same

Hello friends, I hope this day finds you well. I have to be honest, I’m feeling disappointed. Yes, I knew it was a long shot, but I still held out hope. Yesterday, the Electoral College made it official.  Donald J Trump will become the 45th president of these United States on January 20, 2017. I have to…

Besp0ken Plans

What You Should Know about Rex Tillerson, America’s Next Secretary of State… President elect, Donald J Trump, has finally made up his mind as to who will be the next Secretary of Sate.  After dangling, as carrots before the American people, such names as, Petraeus, Guiliani, and Romney, Trump decided against all three, and instead…

Lisa’s Watercolors, Peace & Tuscany

Peace Is a Place I walk across this bridge, Of which I often trod.  Waters ripple and flow, Caressing earth and sod. Breezes comb my hair, Gentle on my nose, Fragrances so sweet, Drifting from primrose. I think of this my place, Daydreams never cease, So everywhere I go I always carry, Peace. *** Tuscany Fill my glass,…

Vomiting All Over Facebook

I was told, by a family member, in a round about way, through social media, that all respect for me was lost.  Gone… No, no names were used, but I knew…sometimes…you just know. Why did they lose respect? Because I used words like “Fuck,” “God Damn,” “Go to Hell,” in response to, what I believe…

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.  This is not an easy task,  because our first instinct, as human beings, is to prove our point and then try to make others view the world through our eyes. This power struggle, whether on social…

Fragile: Haiku 9/16/16

The following was inspired by today’s daily post: Fragile (my stab at haiku) *** Glorious beauty Seen only through fragile eyes The way:  Death alone

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…
