As many of you know, our church is putting on a production, The Christmas Shoes, tomorrow night and Saturday night. Our last dress rehearsal was scheduled for Tuesday night because, even though we wanted to have a dress rehearsal the night before the first show, there were too many school-related activities, so in reality, about [...]
Lately, for some unknown reason, I’ve been looking back on various times of my life. Yesterday, my former boyfriends was my thought topic. Some of the memories brought a smile to my face, others…not so much. I started doing the “what if…” game. “What if I had married “Hercules” instead of Tom?” Every time [...]
In my opinion, there is no such thing as “coincidences.” They are “God sightings.” This was proven to me yesterday. I’ve had a few crummy days. The bipolar has reared its ugly head. No idea what is bringing it on. Could be stress, but there’s really not that much. I had my weekly Bible study [...]
I never expected this high from the NYG to last this long. I expected it to be a short-term thing, and then reality would set in. So far, it hasn’t. Well, reality is there, but it doesn’t seem to be affecting me like it usually does. (aka, bringing me down, freaking me out, stress) Sure, [...]
I returned home from the NYG (National Youth Gathering) in New Orleans last week. I’m still on a high. It was a mountaintop experience. There were 25,000 Lutheran youth that pretty much filled the Superdome. Having all of those singing at the top of their lungs and praising God was just amazing. We had Mass [...]
Today was the Spring Women’s Retreat at my church. I had a rough night sleep-wise last night, and last week was just rough emotional-wise. I had every reason not to go to the retreat this morning. I thought of a million reasons not to go. But, I went anyway. I had a few responsibilities and [...]
As I mentioned previously, I’ve been sick in bed for several days. Keyword: SEVERAL And, I’ve had the benefit of having Instant Netflix to keep me company. I finished watching the entire first season of Lie to Me, but the second season is not available to watch instantly. Bummer. So, I went searching for another show [...]
Today’s Monday link is of a personal nature. Mark was confirmed yesterday. And as I mentioned in a previous post, his testimony was about my brother. When I read his testimony on Wednesday, I cried. I told him it was amazing, and that he really has a gift of putting into words how he feels. [...]
Amazing what those four words can do. Powerful. Trust me. I’ve been trying to get in touch with my brother regarding his attendance at Mark’s confirmation. I sent him an email weeks ago, letting him know that his godson was already 14 and it was time for his confirmation. No response. Yesterday, I called him [...]
It’s a bittersweet day for me. My little brother turns 40 today. Why bittersweet, Michelle? No, friends, he’s not dead. I just haven’t talked to him in over 5 years. After he got married and had a baby, his wife turned into a complete B****. And, yes I meant for that to be a capital [...]
