Sometimes I’m not as thankful as I should be for my children. I confess. God always shows me so gently that while my heart was in the right place, I should have handled such and such situation this way. Then He shows me where I went wrong. It’s not to bring about guilt because God doesn’t use that tactic. He allows me the beautiful freedom of making of making my own choices (even if they aren’t in His perfect will) and He still loves me. He waits patiently for me to make this mistake and come to Him so He can show me where I went wrong.


Jody Foster gives a stellar performance in The Brave One with her role as Erica Bain, a talk radio host in New York City. Her show is called “Street Walk” and that’s exactly what she does. She walks the streets of what she called “the safest big city in the world” with a microphone and recorder in hand. She records sounds from all over the city and then broadcasts them across the radio waves.


As I’ve been in prayer about what to post here and searching my heart for something relevant to share, I was reminded of the recent political forum that was hosted by Pastor Rick Warren of Saddleback Church. I had almost talked myself out of posting this because it is controversial and it may bring about some angry feedback, but the fact is that this is a Christian blog and therefore, I hope that both those of us that contribute here and those who may read this will carefully consider what I believe that God has led me to say.


If you could look inside my brain (scary place I tell ya) you’d see something similar to a new ticker displaying all my thoughts. They don’t scroll in any particular order and unfortunately, not much clarity either. I try in vain to grab one of these nuggets of information, analyze it, try to figure out what to do with this little jewel and end up making a new folder to store it in only to lose it in the hard drive. Yes, I told you it’s a scary place. It’s called ADHD and I got it bad. It has caused me more difficulty than my news ticker is capable of displaying. My one hope, my one consolation is that when I can force myself to pull away and actually sort out my thoughts, God does wonderous things. My merciful Savior reminds me often of Psalm 46:10.


Hi and welcome,

I’m so glad you came by. I look forward to getting to you know and sharing things in my life with you. For starters, I’m a 41 year old married mother of two wonderful children and a dog that I affectionately refer to as “caffeine on legs”. He’s a Jack Russell Terrier named Rudy. My husband and I have been married for nearly 21 years. We are members of a local Baptist church where we are both active. We teach Sunday School together, I am involved in the women’s ministry and I host a small group.
