80’s Monster Ballad Flashback

I’m having a flashback…and need to post some of my favorite 80’s hair rock songs! It’s interesting for me to listen to these from a different perspective after 20 years. I recall feeling so heart sick after so many of them back in the day, but now…even in hair rock, I see God. :) I [...]

The Climb

I mentioned my next door neighbor in a post a little while back. Yesterday something very simple happened but it struck me to my core.

Hope, Now

Hope has been heavy on my mind lately. It seems the winds of hope are in the air all over because so many have posted about it:
Hope #3659 (by Memoirs of a Single Mom)
He’s Just Not That Into You…But There is Hope (by Modern Single Mama)
Hope is a Funny Thing (by Quest for [...]

Going Through the Motions

Sometimes…all I want to do is go through the motions. Just live…as flatly and comfortably as possible. No waves. No pain.
But the greater part of me wants to LIVE. I want to feel the pain because without it, I could not know the fullness of joy that overcomes me, once the season of pain [...]
