The Bondage of Rejection

Sunday, November 11th, 2007

So many people in my family suffer from the bondage of rejection. My mother is ate up with it. She transfered this feeling of failure and disapproval to us kids every day. We all suffer from this debilitating affliction. My hope, and prayer, is that we can truly get released from it. Us kids by […]

PC…

Wednesday, September 5th, 2007

…and I ain’t talking political crap. It’s cancer. No more speculating, no more wondering, no more what if’s. It makes me mad. Fighting mad.
My momma taught me to never give up and that gal ain’t got no quit in her. She can beat this thing. Lord willing.

So do not fear, for I am with you; […]

Pancreatic Cancer

Thursday, August 23rd, 2007

What the hell is that, and how does it happen? Mom calls out of the blue to say she might have pancreatic cancer. She’s freaking, Lisa’s hysterical, I’m in denial.

Last night, after pilling Taz and Tigger, feeding the horses, getting Devon medicated, going outside to clean Punkin’s wound and give him his antibiotic, coaxing and nurturing a feral momma kitty and her itty bitty baby, I came in […]

Order from Chaos

Tuesday, August 14th, 2007

Dear God - Bring order to the chaos of my life.
My job is to submit to his sovereignty, humble myself before him, and ask for his help.
The Purpose Driven Life devotional this morning must have known the order I seek and pray for on a daily basis. How else could they hit a target […]

Devon’s MRI Results

Thursday, February 15th, 2007

The Bad News:
I spoke with the doctor today and had two pages of questions to ask. First and foremost, Devon has had basically what we would call a stroke. He must have had it at birth or soon thereafter. He is not likely to have any more. He has what is referred to as White […]

Bingo - Dysfunctional Families Rule!

Saturday, October 28th, 2006

The latest devotional by John Fischer couldn’t have been more spot on.

May the favor of the Lord our God rest upon us; establish the work of our hands for us - yes, establish the work of our hands. Psalm 90:17 Ghost Ranch Logo
