Is it two steps forward and one back, or one forward and two back? I think the answer is "Yes!" -- at least it is for me. I like that part in the 12 Promises we read each week about our Higher Power doing for us what we cannot do for our ourselves....that's grace. The words "soul-searching" have been surfacing for me lately, and that can mean a lot of things. I'm thankful I'm not drinking our using so that when areas of need begin to surface I do not stuff them down again, or... Read More
DO YOU KNOW GRACE? I have known ladies in my life named Grace, and many of us chill when we hear the old hymn “Amazing Grace”, but these are not the graces I’m thinking about.

She knows she's going to be carried, so she runs her heart out right up to the time I pick her up, just at the top of the hill, the most difficult part. As I picked her up at the top of the hill this morning, I felt like God reaching down to her, almost exhausted, folding her in my arms... Read More
With this morning's crazed but blessed schedule, as I ran around with my head intact, while others about me were losing theirs, I was there to help them find it, wherever it had rolled, hither and yon....we're still looking for a few of them, but that may a lifetime work...I was reminded of an actual job-description quote as I signed up to work at the VA Medical center a year ago:"Worker must be able to function in chaos!" Hmmmm.....whatever that all meant, ministering to "the... Read More
