Feedback Is Great

To all who commented earlier, a great big THANK YOU! I've posted similar things on other sites, with no comments. It always reminds me of something that happened back in high school. I took a Women's Studies class back then, and at the beginning, the teacher asked us all to list the chapters we... Sign in to see full entry.

Gay Christians

I have a wonderful son, who happens to be gay. He was raised in the church, baptized, filled with the spirit -- the whole 9 yards. He has always been a compassionate, loving person. A bit sarcastic at times, but always there for friends and family when they need him. He stopped going to church when... Sign in to see full entry.

How Many "I"s In Pride?

My husband and my son are a lot alike. So much alike that it's almost frightening. In fact, they even have the same first name, although my son is the product of my previous marriage -- and therefore not the son of my current husband. Both are very stubborn individuals. As a result, they have their... Sign in to see full entry.

Tools Of The Trade

I had an interesting dream the other night. It consisted of two different "scenes", much like a short play. In the first scene, I was getting writing tips from both Stephen King and Rod Serling. Granted, they're not Christian authors (and one of them isn't even alive anymore), but the advice was... Sign in to see full entry.

Cookies From Heaven

No, this is not saying that Knott's Berry Farm cookies are divinely inspired. But I happen to like them alot. I also like shopping at Grocery Outlet (which always has been, and always will be "Canned Foods" in my mind). My husband and I are still facing financial trials, rent being a major one. We...

The Parenthood Of God

I have one son, age 19. He was a "miracle baby," because several doctors had told me I could never get pregnant. He's also an "earthquake baby", conceived just after the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake. But I prefer to think of him as a miracle. The other day, my son needed a roll of toilet paper. So he... Sign in to see full entry.

God's Handiwork

As I've probably mentioned before, I'm trying to lose weight. The goal is to get back down to 165 lbs, which is a healthy weight for me. I've got appx. 30 lbs. to get rid of. If you're trying to do the math, I'll make it easier -- my current weight is 196. This is what happens when you're able to... Sign in to see full entry.

Floors And Walls

The other day, I had an appointment at the doctor's office. It was a follow-up to my latest ER visit (see Casper's Aneurysm Odyssey in the Health & Fitness section for more about that). I didn't initiate the appointment, since I've been having financial woes and didn't want to add to the (already... Sign in to see full entry.

God Cares

I'm so glad God never promised us an easy road. The Christian walk is never guaranteed to be a stroll in the park. But the rewards are worth the effort, that's for sure! Like most newlyweds, my husband and I have been facing some pretty hairy financial issues. It's not easy to meld two ways of... Sign in to see full entry.
