Looking Back Again

Round about a year ago, I was looking for a new job, a new place to live, and a new direction in my life. Now I have two jobs, a place to live, and enough direction to figure out where I should probably head from here. I'm probably going to sound like a broken record...

New Year, New Schedule

Once again, I find myself changing my blog schedule. I'll be posting my blogs on Tuesday, since my new schedule this year allows better writing time on that day. Speaking of new schedules, this past year has been full of changes for me. I went from one job to another,...

Some Things About the New Year

Recently I have learned and considered that there are some things we think and feel about a new year that could use some more thought. "New year, new me!" Just because the year is new doesn't automatically mean I suddenly am or am going to be a better person. It...

A Few Christmas Notes

There is no Easter without Christmas; there is no point to Christmas if there is no Easter. Mary did, in fact, know. Knowing how God is, He had the stars ready at creation to move into position exactly for the the wise men to see when Jesus came. You can research and...

Look Outside for the Holidays

I know I've talked about all this before, but it's good to be reminded. We get so busy with our own holiday stuff that we sometimes forget there are others around us who aren't having as good of a time as we are, or we're the ones not having a good time because we're...
