Every day, as I face the challenge of my body failing to meet my expectations, I am reminded of all the advice I have given to patients over the years in my physical therapy career. If you don’t use it, you lose it. I have reminded people that aging can be challenged but not defeated.Continue reading “Muscle Up”

All In. A Meditation on the Shema, I’m all Ears!
As I previously shared, every year, I have a watchword. It’s a process for this word to come to me but suffice it to say, it comes by prayer, meditation, and reflection. My word for 2022 is “new.” It has already been realized in these short weeks as I settle into a new way ofContinue reading “All In. A Meditation on the Shema, I’m all Ears!”
The Peanut Gallery
Everyone has one and is entitled to it! The last devotional on myths and lies could have quickly addressed this statement. Of course, I am talking about opinions. By the way, most of us don’t just have one but many. Given enough time on any matter or subject, if we don’t have an opinion, weContinue reading “The Peanut Gallery”
Legends, Lies, Myths, and Fairy Tales
As I shared in my last writing, January is a get organized, place in order, and clean-out time of year for me except…. when it comes to books. Books and I have trouble parting ways. When I shed a few, I usually have to make a few glances through them to make sure I amContinue reading “Legends, Lies, Myths, and Fairy Tales”
Off With The Old
All the Christmas decor is down and nestled in its garage bed to sleep until next time. The furniture is back where it belongs, and I have started my annual clean out of closets, cupboards, and drawers. Every January, a strong renesting instinct comes over me to re-establish my external order. It is accompanied byContinue reading “Off With The Old”
The Chosen Life: A New Name
Our God is wonderful and mysterious in so many ways but one of the facets of His character that blesses me is that He is a name changer. All through the scriptures you will read accounts of God;s deliberate act of giving names. From Adam and Eve, Abraham, Jacob to all the places God namedContinue reading “The Chosen Life: A New Name”
The Chosen Life The Plan Begins
When I first started to blog, I had already written these accounts with devotions, But as God would direct, He led me in a very different direction. I can see now with the pandemic and where I was in my own personal faith walk, the time just wasn’t right for me to share the excerptsContinue reading “The Chosen Life The Plan Begins”
Even Though I Doubt
One of the things I treasure about living in South Carolina is the number of sunny days I get to enjoy. Having lived in Michigan for most of my life, I had grown accustomed to a large quantity of cloudy days. I never missed an opportunity to get out when the sun made an appearance.Continue reading “Even Though I Doubt”
Even Though I Grieve
Probably one of the biggest challenges of living a life of faith is how to reconcile loss and still trust that God is sovereign and…loving. Some of the darkest and weakest moments of faith come to us in doctor offices, hospitals, cemeteries, or tragically over the phone or when uniformed folks show up at ourContinue reading “Even Though I Grieve”
EVEN THOUGH
Living in the information age can be so beneficial. It can make life so convenient in the daily that I have come to understand my ‘I don’t know’ is usually going to be advised by those around me to “Google it.” Recently I learned the black bear population of the state of Tennessee and howContinue reading “EVEN THOUGH”
