The Good News
As I sit on the edge of my prison bunk, I can literally feel my heart pounding. My forehead feels wet with sweat as I anxiously await the arrival of the guards. This is it, my time is up, and today I am going to die. I rest my head in my hands and stare … Continue reading The Good News
The Serenity Prayer : A Prayer For Everyone
A prayer for all people, not just those struggling with addiction. This prayer is famous for being the backbone of alcohol and drug treatment programs nationwide. Unfortunately it is often presented in edited form. The Serenity Prayer brings me peace today, not because I have ever suffered an addiction, but because the words remind me … Continue reading The Serenity Prayer : A Prayer For Everyone
Grandmas Bible
When my grandma passed away, the Pastor stood at the front of the Funeral Home and told us what he knew about my grandma, not by what family and friends had told him, but by the contents of my grandmas Bible. Inside that Bible was a poem my sister wrote almost 30 years ago when … Continue reading Grandmas Bible

Meditation : The Beatitudes
When Jesus shared the Beatitudes with us in Mathew 5 He gave us invaluable insight. I often meditate upon these simple, yet beautifully intimate, instructions for being more Christ-like. It is the description of discipleship. It is how to act and what to expect as a christian who takes up your cross and follows Christ. … Continue reading Meditation : The Beatitudes
The Spirit of Adoption – Child of God You Are Loved!
I spent the Fourth of July weekend 5 hours away from home with my ex-husbands family. Weird I know, but it was a great reminder of what love truly is about and what family is about. I have no doubt that our earthly families and relationships are designed to show us what our heavenly family … Continue reading The Spirit of Adoption – Child of God You Are Loved!
