• Writing Prompt:

  What’s the biggest risk you’d like to take — but haven’t been able to? It seems like this question was just asked! A risk means you are gambling with your decisions. Yet if you are a child of God you have the promise of Him being with you no matter your decisions. It is the…

• Why!

  Perspective matters. The word coincidence has very little meaning in the grand schematics of God’s will. Last week was my 4th surgery, dealing with one issue, in the delicate area between both my wrists and arms. Never in my wildest dreams did I believe I would become, literally, a professional patient against my will. Except…

• Leisure Reading with Lincoln and Douglass

  My ideas for articles today have had to be reset. What started as a day at home ended up being an afternoon at Terre Haute. My brain isn’t really working this evening, but earlier I got to spend some time actually reading. Reading for leisure, has not been much of a priority lately. So it…

• A Night of Perspective

  Living my life in the church and knowing Bible Stories and their various lessons has been my mainstay. It has been the pinnacle of my education nothing else about the world makes sense without the Bible as the focal point to examine human existence and our worldly inconsistencies that are historically consistent over time. History…

• A Thoughtful Gesture

  Once Mom and I got home today the mail was on the table. After a few minutes of being home I saw a familiar type of envelope and handwriting sitting on the table where Dad usually sits. It was from my cousin Ian and his wife and little boy. Picking up the envelope I couldn’t…

• The Cruise Ship… Sinking

  I find it fascinating that the year I was born some intriguing historical events happened. Including when I was about 5 months old Robert Ballard had used some amazing technology and found actual wreckage of the Titanic. Talk about big news and it was something I was yet to know until I began learning about…

• My Conundrum

  Have you ever found yourself flat-footed with a preteen about lyrics versus actions from a rather beloved musician? Music has always been my passion from the time I became a fetus listening in my mothers womb. I literally heard my Dad’s voice and Mom’s fingers every Sunday morning and evening and Wednesday nights. It was…

• A Fact of Life… & Dialysis

  This morning I was rehashing with my boyfriend SAD-seasonal affective disorder. I have had to live with it with some family members. Most recently the weather has made walking much colder and harder to walk outside. Around here there aren’t too many good areas for exercise for free. Stress and lack of sunlight during the…

• Finishing Thoughts: The Bishop’s Family

  According to the research I have seen there are no records of Cyprianus Thascius being married. Although out of the many, there is one that says a little differently. A Catholic Encyclopedia, New Advent says specifically that Cyprian when Caecilianus knew he would die to take in his wife and family. Ms. Gentry of course,…
