Coping with the shocks of life

,
I'm reminded that those early disciples were so shocked when Jesus Christ visited them, coming through a door, after his resurrection. He told them that he would rise from the dead but somehow they had forgotten and they were so unsure of what…

Being Busy

,
I think that this is what most of the human race is good at and we women even more so. I find myself multi-tasking sometimes up to 10 jobs at a time which can make one gain a headache! However, it is my opinion that being busy can cover up all…

Megatrips

, ,
I think I may have invented a word as I can't find it in my dictionary but of course it could be in a more modern one or waiting to be assessed as a new word. Anyway, as I was praying, this word came to me as being the title of this blog so…

Why?

,
Now there's a question! Many young children love to say this word and many older ones too can be heard to say it in a derogatory way when they are asked to do something they don't wish to do. Through the ages this word has been used to try…

Listening?

,
I'm probably one of the worst listeners in the world. I butt in to conversations and I get very opinionated and want to barge in and say my bit. God has a different way of operating which I have yet to learn and that is to listen more than I…

Fingers in Pies!

,
Little Jack Horner (from the old nursery rhyme) managed to get a plum out from a pie which reminds me of a fantastic nursery rhyme book that has been updated and reworded to make the rhymes more relevant to children (see website of Above Rubies…
