9/16/23 Hi Be-loved! Have you ever experienced a proverbial ‘shedding of your shell’? I recently (re)read Mitch Albom’s book, “The Stranger in the Lifeboat”, and this paragraph really grabbed my attention: Rom . . . held up a tiny crab and said: “Did you know a crab will escape its shell thirty times before it… Continue reading Breaking Out of Shells

9/8/23 Glad you’re here, Mortal Angel! Do you ever ask for ‘signs’ to help you make decisions? How does that work for you? I did recently, and was reminded what a sense of humor God has! I usually ask for three signs ‘cuz I figure one could be coincidence, two wishful thinking, but three would… Continue reading Signs, Music & God’s Sense of Humor

9/2/23 Aloha, Good Person! Have you ever struggled with getting something done on time? Yeah, me neither. (Choke, gasp, hysterical laughter . . . ) Since I’m still struggling with the post that was originally intended for this week (it’s now over 3000 words long!) I’m rerunning a poem that should’ve been put up on… Continue reading The Long Road Home

8/25/23 (And originally 12/4/20) Hi Beautiful/Handsome Person! Is there something in your mind and/or heart you’ve wanted to create, invent or improve upon? If so, what have you done to give life to it? Back in 2020 I took an online class in playwriting. I could imagine so much of a stage production and wanted… Continue reading J.C. Speaks

8/18/23 Hi Good Person –  Had a couple of incidences recently that showed me that sometimes what someone does to – um – debase another (trying to sound a little more Christian by not using the first word that came to mind for ‘debase’.) (Ahem.) is off set by an otherwise completely unrelated occurrence. Has… Continue reading When the Cure Comes Before the Wounding

8/5/23 HI Mortal & Imperfect Angel – What’s new for you? What happened the last time you unintentionally did something that you could laugh at yourself about? Care to share in the comment section so the rest of us can laugh at (er – sorry) WITH you? 😉 It’s funny (well, to me, anyway), had… Continue reading Part 2, When a Movie (& People!) Heal

7/27/23 Dear delightful person,  How you be doin’? 🙂  Can you laugh at yourself? I’m really glad to be doing that more and more; gives me ample chances to guffaw throughout the day! (Not that I always take the opportunity, though! :)) While walking with a friend, ‘E’, there was a type of tree I’d… Continue reading When a Movie (& People!) Heal

7/20/23 Hello Beautiful/Handsome (Inside and out) You ~ How has your week been going?  Have you had a recent experience where you persevered and did something you didn’t have to, was a bit trepidatious about doing it, and in spite of your doubts and fears pushed forward and accomplished it anyway? Would be glad to… Continue reading Plowing Thru The Road Blocks

7/14/23 Welcome, Wonderful You! Have you able to recognize more good within yourself?  Today’s poem was written quite a few years ago and is pretty self-explanatory, I’d say.  All the work God and I have been doing to heal is coalescing; what this poem is about will always be a part of my life’s experience,… Continue reading Void

7/6/23 Hi Good Person! July 5 1907 is the day one of my favorite people was born so I’m rerunning the post that was written in honor of him (and what God did for me!) last year. (Photo by Nathan Anderson on Unsplash) Howdy Delightful You, How is your day going? Was there anything over the last few… Continue reading I Am Redeemed! 🙂
