"For I know the plans I have for you", says the Lord, "plans to prosper and not to harm you, plans for a hope and a future."

She was saved by God,
rock and roll,
and potato chips

Do You Have Someone Who Looks Out For You?

2/5/22 In honor of Pat Benatar being nominated for Induction to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, I HAVE to feature a song from her! 🙂 I couldn’t find an explanation from Pat Benatar for what “Run Between The Raindrops” means, so I’ll go with my own interpretation that it’s about the writer looking… Continue reading Do You Have Someone Who Looks Out For You?

Redemption, Triggers and Victory (oh my!)

2/1/22 Aloha Be-Loved, How’re you doing this week?  Have you had any reminders lately that you’re a worthy-of-the-best-God-has-for-you person?  Let this be a(nother) nudge for you – YOU ARE LOVABLE AND LOVED, whether you know by Whom and who all or not.  May you fully receive your infinite well of real love, and give it… Continue reading Redemption, Triggers and Victory (oh my!)

To Wave or Not To Wave??

2/28/22 Are you a waver? 🙂  Do you wave (or nod) at people (you may or may not know) when you pass them on the sidewalk, parking lot, or back road?  I grew up in the country where not to wave at everyone made you a big ole snob, and now I’ve talked with friends… Continue reading To Wave or Not To Wave??

Being Grateful!

2/25/22 Hello Person-who-is-appreciated, How’s the day going for you?  Could you, in this moment, list at least 5 reasons to be grateful?  For years, every day I (try to remember to :)) come up with ten things to appreciate.  Some days there are countless reasons to be thankful, and others when I’m hard pressed to… Continue reading Being Grateful!

So What IS That Journey Song Is About?

Sat. 1/22/22 Do you what know Journey’s song, “Anyway You Want It” is about?? I’ve always prided (?) prouded (?) (hmmm . . . maybe I need to take more english classes!) on knowing what a song means. Ever since this song came out in 1980 I thought it was another rock song about a… Continue reading So What IS That Journey Song Is About?

Author’s Slow Again!

1/13/22 “Go For Soda” by Kim Mitchell works well with this week’s post because I do that frequently in my own life, but in a different way than the song means. (That’s explained (maybe!) in the post that’s not finished yet.) The tune is about how instead of getting into heated arguments (or worse) with… Continue reading Author’s Slow Again!

Happy Holyday!

12/25/21 Beautiful day to you! I hope you have somethings to (genuinely) smile about today! Not sure which holiday you may be celebrating at this time of year, if any. If you’ve read any part of this blog you’ve probably figured out I’m (a very grateful to be) Christian, and I honor others’ religious beliefs.… Continue reading Happy Holyday!

Forgiving Myself.

This dove belongs to the Columbidae family and is found in North America. They are light gray and brown in color. Image shows the dove perched on a pine tree branch.

12/14/21 (supposedly!) Here’s another insightful talk by Steven Furtick. (Actually took notes when I listened to it the last time.) I don’t always agree with everything he (or anyone else) espouses when they speak, but like they say in twelve step groups, “Take what you can use and leave the rest.” I hope, if you… Continue reading Forgiving Myself.
