Yesterday was 9-11 AND a Sunday as it was in 2017, my first year I began month long fastings from dairy and sugar. So, I decided to reblog my post from 2017 in memory of 9-11 and for a reminder of my first September fast!

Lost in Logic!
When we first heard the news that my sister-in-law had a rare stomach cancer and there was not much of a treatment plan, it made no sense. When she was taken to her eternal home January 24, 2021, it made no sense. When my nephew was diagnosed with Leukemia just 7 months after his mom … Continue reading Lost in Logic!
The Pool of Bethesda
My hair is a matted, unkept mess and peering into the mirror is not for the faint of heart! I am trying to remember the last time I had a shower, or even a bath! I am beginning to feel like the lame man at the pool of Bethesda (John 5). Maybe a little exaggeration … Continue reading The Pool of Bethesda
Heartrending Storms
I was chosen to carry something heavy. In fact, I would need the assistance of flight attendants, trained health care individuals, a whole flight of passengers, and a sympathetic pilot! So much uncertainty was rolled into 2+ hours that I felt like I was having an out-of-body experience. Why, LORD? After all, I was on … Continue reading Heartrending Storms
Celebratory Fast “Take 3”
At times we feel annoyed, and then there are times my husband and I are totally maddened! Living in the country especially during the summer months, the gnats torment us with every outside endeavor. We feel as though a remnant of the plagues of Egypt is visiting us. 😉 Nevertheless, we have found an even … Continue reading Celebratory Fast “Take 3”
Reports from the Homeland
After being abducted and taken captive to a foreign land, and spending many years in exile, this man is delivered a vital report concerning the condition of his homeland. Through a visit from a brother and some fellow countrymen, Nehemiah is given a dismal depiction of Jerusalem. A city disgraced without a wall nor gates … Continue reading Reports from the Homeland
The Potter’s Clay
Listen to me, if I could sit down with you and tell you all that has happened in my life, it would be one marveling session after another! Even I marvel, as I remember the hard, hard lessons that are a part of my story! As a hopelessly lopsided piece of earthenware wallowing deep in … Continue reading The Potter’s Clay
The Roadmaster and His Roadmap!
Have you ever driven across the country dodging potholes? Unfortunately, for cross country drivers, potholes can cause all sorts of disruptions to one's travels. So often I found my own journey in a pothole full of water. Sometimes these drowning craters engulfed my hope for survival. But through the power and plan of The Roadmaster … Continue reading The Roadmaster and His Roadmap!
Mask Free!
Early morning flight! So thankful, after flying numerous flights since 2020’s pandemic, I am mask free! “Let the whole world sing for joy, because you govern the nations with justice and guide the people of the whole world. May the nations praise you, O God. Yes, May all the nations praise you. Then the earth … Continue reading Mask Free!
This Day of Celebration!
Today has been a celebration of all that the Lord Jesus, Our Sacrificial Lamb, accomplished on our behalf! It was also a celebration for me “Ending my 47 days of ‘no dairy, no sugar’ Fast.” This day of celebration began with scrambled eggs, a cinnamon chip scone and coffee! A special treat: The hubby and … Continue reading This Day of Celebration!
