Leaving D.V.

He has been abusing me on and off for years due to many things, but mostly due to his bondage to certain sins and his bi-polar disease wh...

Healthy Lifestyle
(Preview)
So I just got my results back from my annual physical...they hadn't done a blood test since 1999, so they did one this time and mailed me the results.
My triglycerides are high. Yikes. I'm way too young for this! I do, however, have some weight to lose, and diabetes and heart disea...

How do you do it all?
(Preview)
Hi, All:
Where to start.... First, let me say that I was so excited to see a Flylady link on this site. I found Flylady a couple of years ago & this site, well a week ago. Flylady's philosophy is that there are those, like myself, who are perfectionists. This perfectionism rules their life & can lead to a...

Little Note about the Nitty Gritty
(Preview)
I just read this months letter and agree totally. About the eating right or any other habit you want to create, God told me here while back and it has just stayed with me. "you will not do tomorrow what you are not willing to do today". Today is the only day you are promised and it s the day to be faithful. You w...

Book recommendation
(Preview)
For those of you who are into Christian fiction (and even those who aren't!), I just read a fabulous book last week. It's Francine Rivers' latest, And the Shofar Blew. It tells the story of a pastor and his wife, and is basically a book on how NOT to do ministry...
Even though it was fictio...

That's right...count 'em...15 kids in my kids' church yesterday! And most of them came with their families!! That seems like a small amount to some, but that's the largest number we've had since I've been there. To give you an idea, it jumped from six kids last week to 15 this week!...
