Many years ago I stopped allowing my kids to partake of “the lord’s supper” aka communion because they didn’t understand it. One of them got upset because her “snack” had been a teenie cup of juice and a piece of cracker. (yes, I laughed) But I made every effort to stop them from participating becauseContinue reading “wash, rinse, REPEAT”

Tres Preguntas
1). What do I want next month to feel like. 2). How can I allow myself to be open to attaining that goal? 3). How can I make each day productive? I am always tempted to try the monetization of my posts and my stories on Wattpad. However, I am not brave enough to watch noContinue reading “Tres Preguntas”
Resolutions
Have I wished you a happy new year? Apologies if I haven’t. It’s been a long 15 days. Whew! That’s a statement, huh? I want to be able to comprehend it all in a way that doesn’t disturb me or my peace of mind. I must say that nothing out of the ordinary is wrong.Continue reading “Resolutions”
Cancelation of the Parenting Agreement
A running theme now a days is about protecting your own peace AT ANY COST. It demands that every one around you must respect your boundaries and your peace. I have noticed that this isn’t without casualties. I’ve spoken with all too many parents and grandparents who have been “blocked” from their children’s lives. IContinue reading “Cancelation of the Parenting Agreement”
Ten things, er Five things no one tells you about parenting
There are times when I envy my childless acquaintances. They will never know the agony of it all. I’ve been praying. I’ve been pondering and I now understand why my mom wanted me to be a single, free, accomplished woman. I used to think that she was wrong in her disappointment of my choice toContinue reading “Ten things, er Five things no one tells you about parenting”
One ship left
I used to watch my kids play video games. Their games are far more complicated than any of the games I grew up playing, and they don’t have to leave home play. They experience the highs and lows of game play in the comfort of their own space. I suppose that that’s why the anxietyContinue reading “One ship left”
No, no, no, I want a do over
Man, I saw a post asking what I’d tell my 15 year old self, if given the chance. Many things cross my mind, but the main thing would be that I am loved. And just before the moment was over, I’d tell myself who not to trust. It would be excellent if we could haveContinue reading “No, no, no, I want a do over”
Let he who is without sin…
I heard about the T. D. Jakes thing and it made we question my Christianity. I know from my studies that Jesus didn’t spend time with the church of his day unless he was teaching and the Bible gives us only one account of that instance. The other time was in anger and the otherContinue reading “Let he who is without sin…”
Put in the Work
Excellence Requires discipline. Discipline Requires Focus. Focus is the ability to shut out the din of the noise of chaos. You do that by humming the song that’s in your heart. Don’t hear a song? Make one up and move to it. Yes, “dance your way out of your constrictions”.Rejoice in the LORD always. Again,Continue reading “Put in the Work”
Ten year old Suspended from school over alleged drug possession
Yep, you’ve read that correctly. A ten year old boy saw something on the floor in school, picked it up and showed it to a friend. The friend told the teacher, boy who found object in question was suspended for drug possession!?!?
