Today is sunny and I'm in a better mood.
The sunshine will probably only last an hour. Yesterday we had nothing but rain and sun and rain and sun all day long. This is how it is during March and April. I don't know why my moods are dependent on the weather. A friend asked me if she could do a Bible Study with me and my husband said that I...

Church
Today, I didn't want to go to church when I found out the sermon was about the man being the head of the household. I was mad at my household for saying that they were going to go to church and then not going--but then when I found out the sermon topic, I was glad that they didn't go. I dropped off...

Yesterday I spent about three and a half hours hanging around the courtroom
I realize that my life has completely changed in the last two years. I'm hanging out with drug users and criminals instead of middle class women of my own age. I've climbed up the hill from the courthouse to the parking lot several times. I even found a judge yesterday and found where Barry's review...

I wrote my son's mother in law a letter, but i have no idea where it is.
I needed a stamp and put it somewhere so that I could take it to the post office and put a stamp on it. As for my former pastor, I've been too busy to look him up. My family is finally kind and supportive (my original family). My mom, brother and sister in law are impressed with my work with...

I have decided that I am going to try to reconcile
with my son's mother-in-law and my former pastor. They are the only two people who have something against me. There may be others at my former church--but I don't know who they are and I personally didn't hurt their feelings. I could write them a letter. So I will think about it. Jesus says that "If...

Friendship.
I met Van the first year of my internship as a pastor. She had just finished college and was trying to figure out what to do with her life. She was twenty two and I was forty six, old enough to be her mother. But I never thought of her as a daughter. I thought of her as a friend. She was more mature...

Brain Cancer and Rejection
Yesterday was a painful day. I found out a friend of mine has brain cancer and the form of cancer is very aggressive. I love him and his wife so much. I felt heartbroken all day. Then I took my housemate and my daughter to my grandson's birthday party and my mother in law asked us to leave. She has...

The only thing that I know that works is prayer.
I give advice, I provide help, I run around and get papers and information for those who are in jail. We even paid bail once for someone. We visit Sam's brother who is in jail. I will go to court for him and tell them why he isn't showing up. I tell a girl whose boyfriend uses her and doesn't do...

Random Act of Kindness
Yesterday was a good day except that I forgot about picking up my son to go to the doctor. I thought that I'd have too much to do--but one thing was cancelled and I couldn't do the other thing. So I ended up just going to two doctor's appointments, out to breakfast, out to lunch and out for coffee....

True justice
Zechariah 7:8-10 And the word of the LORD came again to Zechariah: "This is what the LORD Almighty says: 'Administer true justice; show mercy and compassion to one another. Do not oppress the widow or the fatherless, the alien or the poor. In your hearts do not think evil of each other.' We think of...
