Lessons from the Storm

Well, it’s certainly been a while since I’ve blogged. Over the past year so many things have changed in my life and blogging just took a backseat . . . but then . . . I came across something that caught my attention.

Dear Christians, Stop Saying “Everything Happens for a Reason”

Truth AND Love

Recently, a news story grabbed my attention . . . and broke my heart.  John Gibson, a 56-year-old pastor and professor at the New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary was found dead on August 24, 2015.  Mr. Gibson took his own life because his name was one of the 30 million names leaked by hackers of Ashley Madison, the website created for people seeking extramarital affairs.  Heart broken, Christi (the widow of John Gibson) stated, “What we know about him is that he poured his life into other people, READ MORE

Persecution in America . . . really?

Recently, a friend of mine brought a particular blog to my attention.  She asked for my opinion and I thought I would share them here.  I know there is a show entitled, “Dog with a blog.”  I guess this would be “blogging on a blog.”

No Compartments

For those who frequent this blog, you might be thinking that I only have one tune to play, so to speak.  The fact is that I don’t create current events, I just comment on them.
During all the media coverage of the tragedy in Colorado and the excitement of the Olympics, the Democrats made it official: “Equality in Marriage” will now be a part of their platform.  That is a big move at this stage of the game. Also notice how they have worded the issue.   READ MORE
