COVID-19 – The Deeper Dangers
COVID-19 may sneak up and claim my life. It’s possible – though not likely. I don’t take this illness lightly. Despite a good immune system, I self-isolated almost two weeks ago, spending the majority of time at home. As a diabetic, I don’t want to risk my health. Fortunately, I work from home anyway. So […]
Preview to Homeless Hearts -Read the Introduction
Homeless Hearts – Coming Soon For many years I worked on this book, Homeless Hearts. I’m still working–editing and rewriting. This isn’t a book about physical homelessness, but about the heart condition that keeps people on the street long-term and, ironically, the same conditions that keep the rest of us living with a homeless heart […]
Homeless Hearts Progress Update
I just made progress on Homeless Hearts! Percentage wise, I’m still around 33%. I seem to keep adding and deleting pages so my percentage isn’t moving. But I am making progress and that feels good. Today I worked on the impoverished soul chapters – looking at hoarding not only in a physical way, but also […]
Revisiting Painful Moments
Painful moments aren’t something we want to experience, but if we live more than a minute, we will know them. Some things in life hit so hard we never quite fully recover. For a mother, the loss of a child is one of the most painful moments ever endured. I used to think losing a […]
The Blame Game and a Homeless Heart
Oh how we love playing the Blame Game. It all started in the Garden of Eden. Fortunately, one king resisted the urge and took responsibility for his mistakes. King David made some extremely bad choices—not being where he should have been, adultery, cover-up and even conspiracy to commit murder. And he pretty much got away […]
When a Deer Pants for Water
Anytime I hike, I hope to see deer, but I’ve never seen one panting. One day, as I finished a hike at a nearby state park, I rounded a grove of trees. He stood there looking at me, his brown eyes shining, with the rack on his head standing tall. If deer have a king, […]
Fatherless or Loved by a Father?
I wasn’t fatherless–at least not for the first 10 years. As a child, I remember a haunting song with words that made me sad—sometimes I feel like a motherless child. In the world today, I think more people feel fatherless. A growing number of children spend at least part of their childhood in a single-parent home. […]
Codependency and the Homeless Heart
I met with a friend one day and for some reason, we started talking about codependency, a subject I recognized from weeding it out of my own life. It took a long time to open myself enough to see the condition in my past. Its presence surprised me, especially in so me relationships. Codependency often appears […]
Homeless Hearts-Journey into a Homeless Heart
“We will never end homelessness until we deal with issues of the heart.” Excerpts from Chapter 1 Lori’s words rang through my mind and stuck there as an unforgettable memory I’d rather forget. I looked into the faces and eyes of people at the shelter. Some smiled and seemed rather joyful while others oozed pain […]
