My Copy: 9780825429309 (image from bn.com) It's not a long read. Not at all. And the title pretty much speaks for itself regarding what the book is about: answering the question of the prosperity gospel as compared to the Bible's teachings. It's not an exhaustive bit of research (A Different Gospel started that one about … Continue reading Health, Wealth & Happiness: Has the Prosperity Gospel Overshadowed the Gospel of Christ?, by D.W. Jones & R. S. Woodbridge
After a crazy week, that's just one among many this crazy summer, and leaving the office over an hour and a half late tonight... let's just say I'm doing some careful thinking again. My bizarre summer schedule will only get more bizarre for the next couple of weeks until things have calmed down and we're … Continue reading Recapturing dreams when all is so uncertain.
I suppose when it's been an anniversary week like this, emotions and daily life will wreak havoc with careful plans. It wasn't just the emotional baggage, but I've also dealt with a ton of screaming kiddos during camp for several hours a day all week. That didn't help my attempts to be calm, cool, and … Continue reading Trying not to let a bad week derail my efforts…
Maybe my heeler's a late bloomer in some aspects, but until the past couple of months, I really couldn't think of her as a car-chaser. Now, I know she's got the instinct in her somewhere. The first blue heelers I ever saw were thanks to my next door neighbor years ago. They had one that … Continue reading #104– Why do dogs chase cars?
Some of you, dear readers, who have read previous posts about me, my family, and what I was up to, may have guessed at a few truths I wasn't ready to reveal. However, I will also say that this true story was not the reason I suddenly changed my mind about suicide and the idea … Continue reading Why I stopped believing that suicide is always a selfish act: reflections & a true story.
No doubt this is a slight rant. I don't know who was delivering my packages--some of it was sheet music, the rest accessories for my instruments. Different companies, and yet it all showed on the same day. What was so stupid is it sprinkled this morning when I took the dogs out, and I had … Continue reading #103 Blitz Q: Why don’t delivery drivers near me take the initiative & put packages under cover on a rainy day?
This has been a tiring, fun, LONG weekend. I thought this idea up a couple months ago when I realized July 20th was going to be on a Saturday. It was too perfect, and the co-worker I brought it up to was really into it. However, she couldn't make it to work to see me … Continue reading I couldn’t resist having a little fun July 20th. How could I not, being an astro-nut…
I think this one's been bugging me since the day my mom told me--when I was doing research and reading the Bible--that I just needed to read the New Testament first. It's been so long ago I'm assuming she meant go back for the Old Testament later, but for all I know, maybe she said … Continue reading #102–Why does the Christian Bible Contain the Old as well as the New Testament?
I call myself a "recovering recluse" for a reason...I'm a work in progress on the social front. A VERY slow work in progress. Like pouring a bad concrete mix. Oh well. I suppose I'm wondering how to find inspiration beyond parks, pretty sunsets and cute puppies (or kitties, or sloths, or whatever else). I'm hoping … Continue reading Looking for Inspiration in an Insular World
Funny how that could apply to a house or the human body--both, in my case. I mean, the maintenance part will work well with the house (working on that). The body's nearly at "gotta fix what's broke" stage. I'm not saying that because I hate my body or anything (okay, I'll admit, sometimes I do--a … Continue reading Maintenance is far better than having to do a major fix later…
