Religion and God

I was thinking about some stuff from the past earlier today. Years ago, when I was pregnant with my oldest daughter, I was married to a Czechoslovakian immigrant who ended up getting his green card then his U.S. citizenship but when we knew there was no way we could afford this pregnancy, he join...

Blessed wonderful church this morning. I love church and I love Jesus. This is where I get my solace. When I am in despair it can be very difficult for me to connect with God but when I get to church, the gathering of the saints, the focused worship seems to help me overcome those…

 Gal wrote me a note asking, "Why does death happen?"  I had to think for quite some time to come up with a response and I'm still not sure I have a good one, but here it goes: Why Does Death Happen?Oh, how many answers are there to this question? The answers are uncountable! From…

Christ has risen from His grave and I believe that! God came into the earth as a human born of Mary and Joseph. He lived and ministered to man.

Well, what other morbid, sad and depressing things can I write about? Just kidding. I have had quite a week As I was telling our Pastor this morning, sometimes when I get to studying the Bible, I am the first to send myself to hell.  The Christian walk is not an easy walk but I…

I’ve been thinking so much. So much has been getting to me lately. I’ve been feeling bitterly upset.  First and foremost I feel as if God has been opening my eyes or been pulling His hand back and allowing me to have a glimpse of just how horrible a person I am.  I feel as…

Well, I’m still sick, yuck.  Been watching TMC all night, all day… drifting in and out to various old movies, old cartoons, and one reel shorts. I love this channel when I’m sick although I usually have watched the educational channels when I’ve been recovering from surgeries. I guess TMC is bett...
