As a caregiver, I get tired. Tired as in “take a seat and rest a spell”…yes…but sometimes as in, “God, I want to give up, I just don’t see the good I’m doing.” I find that when I’m in that mode I personalize everything around me. For instance, when the family members of my client…

Taken Down a Notch…Maybe Two
Tuesday was the last day of my 21-day Daniel Fast. I confess I finished feeling a little guilty. Why? Going into the fast my purpose was clear, in that my goal was to become closer to Christ, but as it progressed the purpose began to take on another appearance. My focus strayed from Christ, and…

Remember What I Have Told You
Sometimes it’s just too easy to forget, and the older I get the more this becomes my super-power. I feel confident my friends over fifty can relate…hmmm…unless, of course, they have forgotten how often they forget. It’s true, I walk into a room and forget my reason for being there. I stand blank-eyed, trying to…
Disappear From Sight
Have you ever had to eat your words? I’m sure I have, but at the moment, nothing comes to mind. Perhaps, even if I could, I wouldn’t share as “eating your words” is considered quite distasteful. Often, the words we have to eat are bitter. I believe the words we say never disappear. They linger…
Warm, rather than Frigid
My morning reading was all about the golden rule. You know, “…do to others as you want others to do to you.” I ask, “Why is such a simple concept, so hard to achieve?” If I had to guess as to why this can be such a difficult task, I would credit the blame to…
