It is, without a doubt and by far, one of my least favorite things to do. So many variables…too much deceit… The anxiety of not being able to trust the person selling to me is overwhelming! As are the factors you need to consider in making the final choice – a newer car with more …
Prayer
First in the Sabbath School Bible study guide two weeks ago, and then for vespers last Friday, prayer’s been a hot topic of late. In fact, after a rousing sermon entitled “Lift Him Up” at Collegiate Sabbath last weekend, we went out around Big Rapids offering to pray with folk who opened the door to …
happy mother’s day
Somewhere along the line, perhaps almost a decade ago now, my mother and I developed a tradition. You know how on your birthday, everyone gives you all this attention…the unending stream of wall posts on facebook…for a little more personal touch, you have an actual message in your facebook inbox or a text message on …
Curiosity
There may be somebody out there who can resonate with this struggle of mine with curiosity. Yes, yes, it is said that curiosity killed the cat…But that cat had at least nine lives, right…so…it’s ok 😛 It’s so frustrating when people start telling you something then leave you hanging! I mean, how can you sleep …
My Closet
In the last couple of apartments that I’ve lived in, I’ve had a walk-in closet. I like my closet. When I got my first walk-in though, I thought it was unnecessarily huge. What would I put in it? Now, I can’t imagine life without a walk-in closet. It’s always fun when friends stay over. I …
The Choice to Wait
Recently, I’ve come to an existential comprehension of why “long-suffering” and “patience” are synonyms… It takes a distinct determination, a fortitude and resilience to wait patiently for something so deeply desired. Patience isn’t just about letting time pass. It’s got to do with the attitude adopted while the necessary time lapses. It is, by no …
Reflections on the Accident
I finished re-doing my hair this past weekend – putting in new braids in preparation for a friend’s wedding. Hopefully, that is the last I will see of pieces of my shattered windshield. My car was officially totaled, by the way. I’ll be needing more than a new windshield now. There’s so much I could …
Happy Valentine’s Day
The big question for a blogger today: Do I acknowledge the day? or do I not? Thing is, I’ve been meaning to write something concerning Whitney Houston. She was so gifted! A friend introduced me to her performance of The Star Spangled Banner at the 1991 Superbowl – sent chills down my spine; so seamlessly, …
womanity…
My friend got me reading this article that got me thinking about womanhood. I’m no feminist, but as the Bible teaches, I believe that men and women were created equal though different. Somewhere along the line, the woman came to be defined by her child-bearing capacity. Then, the counter-swing so emphasizes everything but that capability. …
they’re shrinking!
I promise, I was a 7.5/8 shoe size! But I go shoe shopping today and I’m comfortably a 7…sometimes, even a 6.5! There are two theories to explain this: Theory One My feet are shrinking. There are multiple sub-theories to this one. Two of my favorites go as follows: It could be a degenerative condition …
