**Author’s note–Or maybe this is a note to me? I accomplished the challenge; it changed my world. In time, I will publish all of the gratitude series. Not that I expect you to read them all, but really, I want a written record of where I once was and precisely what God has done in …
**I love these authors’ notes. They make me smile. I just expressed my thoughts on T-I-M-E in an article called “Time.” (click the link if you would like to review) How ironic is it that I originally posted this article entitled “Time” on November 3, 2016? Care to talk about where “Time” has gone? That …
**Editor’s note–This article was initially written and published in February 2017. It took all the bravery I had in the entire world. Until this point in my life, I denied having children. The shame I went through when someone asked me if I had kids was unbearable. I had no explanations, so I lied about …

I was fighting for my sanity and to continue caring about my life. Himself, once again, had unleashed a barrage of mental and verbal abuse. On the one hand, I wanted to lay …
“And now we are brothers and sisters in God’s family because of the blood of Jesus, and he welcomes us to come into the most holy sanctuary in the heavenly realm—boldly and without hesitation. For he has dedicated a new, life-giving way for us to approach God. For just as the veil was torn in …
**Author’s Note–This is a true story; all lessons learned here will not be forgotten. Consequently, my tub no longer has a drain toggle! Originally published February 3, 2017 Worry, fear, doubt, dread, and panic, exploded this week, an atomic bomb in my mind detonated. “Woe is me! Why does this happen on my watch, and …
**Author’s note: I’m not sure when this was initially written, possibly somewhere in 2017. In addition, I can’t find where this was ever published (unless I wrote it for someone else’s blog, which is a possibility). What I can tell you is that I wrote this from a very dark, sad place.
