I said, “I will guard my ways,
Lest I sin with my tongue;
I will restrain my mouth with a muzzle,
While the wicked are before me.”
I was mute with silence,
I held my peace even from good;
And my sorrow was stirred up.
 My heart was hot within me;
While I was musing, the fire burned.
Then I spoke with my tongue:

 “Lord, make me to know my end,
And what is the measure of my days,
That I may know how frail I am.
 Indeed, You have made my days as handbreadths,
And my age is as nothing before You;
Certainly every man at his best state is but vapor.
Psalms 39:1-5

If I could change anything {#Tuesday@Ten}

If I could change anything, right now it would have to be a selfish thing and I would say my level of self-control and discipline. Yes, I realize the self-control is a fruit of the Spirit and that I just need to allow it to develop in my life. I also realize that the discipline... Continue Reading →

I Truly Believe…{Tuesday@Ten}

I truly believe that in every person there is a desire to be inherently good. After 15 years of working with people in the most desperate, desolate, and harsh times of their life, I realize that most people want to be good. People may find this hard to believe but even those who find themselves... Continue Reading →

Change

I'm a person who can tolerate change pretty well. I've always said "The one thing that is constant is change." No matter where I work, no matter what I've been through, change has always been a part of it. Change has been a constant. When my world is shaken by change, as long as I... Continue Reading →

Lasting Memories

Over thirty years ago I lost a childhood friend. I still remember standing in the hallway, my mom on the phone that hung in hall of our home.  It was a little over a week until my birthday.  My friend had been in the hospital.  As a child I thought that she had childhood diabetes. ...

Love Languages

There are times in life when you realize just exactly how much your childhood impacted who you are and how you perceive things. I had one of these moments recently.  My daughter and I were talking about the 5 Love Languages.   She went through giving her answers for the test for children.  Even as she answered,...

I have learned that {#Tuesday@Ten}

I have learned that the best things in life may be free (English Proverb) BUT Someone paid the price. Salvation is free to me.  There is nothing I can do to earn salvation, it is a free gift of God.  I must only believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and I will be saved.  I... Continue Reading →

Death by phone

Today I was sitting in a professional training and the presenter asked us to think about the death of a loved one.  Three immediately came to mind, as there are three people who are very dear to me that I have lost.  I could not choose to pick just one.  When I think of death... Continue Reading →

Dementia Sucks

Today I decided that dementia SUCKS.  I'm a social worker, I don't do social work (well, technically I do) but every part of my being believes in the social work values.  That's why I became one.  Today one of those core fundamental values was put to the test.  It was not something I could separate...
