Three Thirty, Tuesday Afternoon

They say often that there is no proof of God, and perhaps that’s true from the mathematical definition of the term. But Ive lived a life surrounded by and buoyed by The God Who Is There. I don’t hear voices or see angels in trees–thankfully–but all the same there is evidence of that Creator. The [...]

Hollywood, What Happened?

Last week was one of those where I decided to indulge my curiosity by watching a few Pay-Per-View movies. Every book I’m reading is the size of a large toolbox and I craved stories that would last only two hours. Thats how I ended up watching both The Switch and Love And Other Drugs. I [...]

This Is Why People Hate Going To The Doctor

So today was my three-month followup with the Rheumatologist. Since I’ve had to reschedule it twice (kidney stone, driver conflict) it’s actually four months running into five.

The combination of those two things has led to a sort of Eureka moment for me.   [...]

First World Problems

Not a day goes by without me being fully aware of how many people have it much worse than I do.   Much of my correspondence with the outside world includes folks so ravaged by their disease that they can’t stay in their own homes.   An acquaintance of mine recently had to move to an assisted [...]

Taking Notes

I am just going to have to start carrying around a steno pad or one of those little memo pads they use on Law & Order.   Because all weekend long the husband and I had marvelous conversations that spurred great blog post ideas in me.   Yet now that Monday is here I don’t remember any [...]
