I began crying a full nine months before the event. No, it was not an unexpected pregnancy—quite the opposite. My eldest daughter was graduating from high school, and I was not sure I would survive. From August to June, Hannah’s days were filled with drama practice, yearbook meetings, and trips to the village with friends. Mine were …
Waste not, want not….
Chocolate malt-o-meal. My friend Scarlet loved it. “Well, you won’t like it”, Mother said matter-of-factly and then turned her back to all of those amazing boxes imprinted with very happy cartoon kangaroos. I didn’t let it rest. For the next several weeks, every trip to the market included my rehearsed request for this one additional item. …
“Others Can, You May Not”
I discovered this jewel by G.D. Watson as a college student and kept it in my Bible for years. So, so powerful….. ———————– “If God has called you to be really like Jesus in all your spirit, He will draw you into a life of crucifixion and humility, and put on you such demands of obedience, that He will not allow …
The Link between Sex Trade & Philia Kosmos
Nine years old and sold into the sex trade. I’m appalled when I read such stories. Pained for the children, I can’t grasp how one life can be so unfeeling toward another – especially a child. What evil possesses someone to such an extent? How can money offer any joy to such a conscious? I have a deep-seated …
Lessons from a Shopping Cart

Don’t Let One Mistake Lead to Another
“Mistakes are the most destructive force in our lives.” The caption caught my attention as I thumbed through a SkyMall magazine on a recent flight. I kept reading: “Turn on the power to success, money and happiness with zero mistakes. (This book) by ** supplies you with sharp advice on how to avoid mistakes to become …
Show Me
“Prove It!” I loved this book. An easy reader, every page included step-by-step instructions for simple “science” experiments” with stuff you already had around the house. Perfect for my then budding research career. Although I loved watching the way that soap repelled floating pepper, I don’t know that I actually ever proved anything. I was much …
Using my Tongue in Prayer
Holy Father, Despite the fact that You have told me that not many should be teachers, I do find myself in that role all too often. Are there any of those situations that I should get out of? I would appreicate your direction here. I mess up so often, but I am very thankful that You don’t condemn …
Video Journaling
I think that yesterday’s blog grossed me out so much that I’m going to do a little less “talking” today. So instead, so get a pen and journal ready. If you haven’t read the last few posts on the tongue as fire, I’d like for you to do that now before we begin. These will be foundational …
