globe theatre
In the words of Charlie Brown, “Life is like a snow globe: sometimes you have to shake things up and see what happens!” That clever title and quote comes from my Word Seeks which sits next to my Crossword Puzzles, one of which I daily partake, depending on the quantity and quality of my grey…

about hoarding
My Mother was a champion hoarder. In the final years of her life, I took the responsibility of dissembling the Mt. Everest of six or seven decades of her inability to discard virtually any item. In my sister blogs, I share my experiences and a psychological perspective of hoarding. Here, I will share my technique…

goals / aspirations / dreams
I’ve been goal oriented, type A, for as long as I can remember. I was going to change the world, or at least be in the forefront. It hasn’t happened. After too many decades, I see still abounding: poverty, injustice, political deceitful quagmires, broken relationships, declining education, mental illness, family dysfunction, etc. It’s become time…

advent: the cosmos
Today I read a concept new to me, one which I will ponder – the Cosmic Christ. [I do not subscribe to our cancel culture in which disagreement causes one to lose their social or professional connections. No ability to thoughtfully consider an opinion different from one’s own, and intelligently discuss will lead to destruction…

advent: before and after
This is for those who are feeling ill, broken hearted, outcast, lonely. Jesus comes along with compassion, identifying with those in pain; healing physically, but more importantly, healing injured and downcast souls. Medical cure is not His foremost commission. Many restorative examples are found in the New Testament. Leprosy in those days was a…
