I have been keeping company with Sadness today.
Sadness was a frequent guest last year. When the new year brought new loss, he set-up camp. I did not invite him, but he does not leave.
Most of the time, I find his company bearable. He is not usually oppressive. Present, but only passively imposing himself. Most days, I hold my focus on Happiness, and Sadness lurks in the shadows. I can almost convince myself he isn’t even there.
Then I turn a corner just a moment too soon, and come face-to-face with my old enemy. A painful confrontation. I am suddenly reminded of all that is lost, and Happiness is unseated.
Happiness is always fleeting.
Ah, but I have learned not to depend on Happiness. She is my fickle friend. Hope is my true and steady friend; always near. I take her hand and face Sadness down.
❤

Despair is a Round Trip
I was closing an email from Doug, the Saxophone Player, and my eye quickly glanced down at his signature. This email came from his office at the jail, and I was just moved to tears seeing his title. You may not know my husband’s testimony**, but I can tell you that I did not marry…

Why Not Write a Blog?
I started blogging on Xanga in Septber 2006. It was a radical thing for me to do, but it was a season in my life when I desperately needed some kind of connection to other people. It was a Godsend in many ways. Then, Fakebook invaded the blogosphere. It lured bloggers away, and silenced many…

Quotes to Consider: On Writing
“There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.”― Maya Angelou “There is nothing to writing. All you do is sit down at a typewriter and bleed.”― Ernest Hemingway “We write to taste life twice, in the moment and in retrospect.”― Anais Nin “And by the way, everything in life is writable about if you…

10 Things to Pray for Joe
Hello, Friends! Tomorrow Vice-President Joe Biden will become the 46th President of the United States. As I meditate on that today, my first thought is a question: How shall I pray for him? This is my short list. 10 Things to Pray for Joe First and foremost, I pray Joe has an eternity-changing encounter with…

When God Takes the Hard Road
Someone shared a dumb meme on Instagram that read, “God takes the harder route on purpose, to show us He’s so powerful.” Give me a break! We are not dolls in God’s toy house. He doesn’t use us like some benevolent giant, creating horrific challenges for us to face just so He can be our…

If President Trump Had Failed
We keep hearing how President Trump failed in his handling of this evil virus, and it’s making me weary. For starters, the people who judge him the most harshly are the people who most harshly judged his mitigation efforts last Winter. Why aren’t they judging themselves, and their own failure to act? And, why does…

My Prayer for Hunter
Hunter Biden is a troubled man. I cannot bear looking at his pictures. They are images of a dead man. They make me sad, and my heart hurts for him. Don’t get me wrong. Criminal behavior must be prosecuted. Justice is always the right thing. HOWEVER, this man’s need for Jesus is clear. As I…

The Silent Killer
We recently learned that less than 10,000 people have died in the United States from Covid-19 only. The virus might have played a part in the other deaths they currently include in the total, but they don’t actually know that right now. Know what they do know? They know that every year at least 20,000…
