Mind Games… Soul Games

I have played Mind Games on Facebook lately.  Just a few... posted by Friends.  Mind Games centered around seeing what's different. How many faces are in this tree?  Find the mistake in this herd of zebras.  Find the tiny "C" in this "sea" of tiny O's. Some people said they were still looking for solutions... and...

Here, Snookie Snookie…

We're going fishing today.  I can hardly wait!  It's the last day of Snook Season.  It doesn't open again until March. Snook is my favorite fish to catch... and eat!  It's hard to catch.  Wary... not easily fooled or coaxed onto a hook.  Fights like crazy... even jumping out of the water to throw the...

The Blessing of Threes

Three "must win" states that couldn't possibly be won by a particular Presidential Candidate.  Three states that couldn't possibly be lost by the other Candidate. The votes are cast.  The unlikely one is chosen.  The Nation takes a turn... hopefully. "Pray... for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet...

There Are States… And STATES!

What State am I in today??? There are States of Ignorance, Confusion, Anxiety, and Turmoil.  States of Sickness, Weakness, Hyperactivity, and Exhaustion. Yesterday, I was in the State of North Carolina.  Today, South Carolina.  With hundreds of miles of driving in between. Both days, I was in the State of BLISS!   :)   As...

Praying For Prison Breaks!

"What are you looking at?" my friend exclaimed.  "An answer to prayer!!!" I had passed that house countless times on the way to and from Charlottesville.  It was located at a busy intersection.  A great place with a lot of visibility and easy access for drive-in clientele. A psychic.  Advertising divination by tarot cards and...

Making the Crooked Straight

Artistic asymmetry is one thing.  Having things not perfectly aligned can give a photograph or a painting real visual interest.  Beauty of another kind. Not the same with teeth. My lower teeth have been misaligned for decades... severely so.  Or, at least, that's how it's beginning to seem to me. I inherited this from my...

Confessions of A…

Wow, Lord... I could finish that sentence in so many ways!  For the many things I have done and been over a lifetime that were missteps. Whenever I was off track.  And so much worse. "Praise the Lord, my soul, and forget not His benefits -- who forgives all your sins and heals all your...

Chugging A Cup of… Courage!

Ahhh... What could be more delicious, Lord?! I came to this two-day meeting expectant.  Wanting -- needing -- a dose of En-COURAGE-ment. I got a cupFULL, Beloved... and chugged it down!

Vitamin G – Mainlined!

It's 10:30 PM, Lord.  Time to call it A Day.  And what A Day it has been! Back home in Florida.  Truck only partially unpacked.  Need my sleep tonight.  Tomorrow, the speech I have been looking forward to for months.  My first opportunity to speak to my local women's networking group. I LOVE the topic:  Gratitude...
