Nothing here is permanent. Eventually, everything breaks down.

Prayer for a Divided World
Healing Hearts Day
They say it’s usually people who are alone that disparage Valentine’s Day, but I know better. So, I’m just going to say it, I don’t like Valentine’s Day, and this is coming from someone who has had a love in my life for 30 plus years. After writing about this holiday in the past and receiving many comments over the years, I can attest that I’m not the only one. Many people do not like this holiday.
Send Down the Rope
I don’t even know where to begin to write this difficult post. I hope you’ll follow along anyway, because this is important … to me.
Song on my Mind
Many of you know my life is hectic right now, but who can miss the news? So, I’m writing this on the fly.
Faith in Things Unseen
I don’t understand a lack of faith in things unseen. Love is unseen, yet it goes on even after death. Why doesn’t love cease to exist if the person we love no longer exists?

Comfort or Joy
This is not an after-Christmas, Christmas post about comfort and joy during the holidays. It’s about something else entirely.
In Light
In light of what happened in France, I had wanted to write something profound on my blog this week, but I couldn’t think of something. I mean, what is the compassionate thing to say in times like these that won’t be considered politically incorrect? I even wrote a long post and then trashed it, because it sounded preachy.
Grow Old With You
When couples get married, they presume it’s for life, and that they will grow old together. If you pay attention to statistics, fifty percent of them won’t make it that far.
Most couples don’t realize when they’re young, what growing old together really means, because aging is not for sissies.
I know of a couple who have been married for over sixty years. They show everyone the true meaning of growing old together, being the strength for one another in every moment of every day. Their love for one another never ceases.
The Word Above
Our modern society paints humanity with such dark, negativity. Yet, when I posted about my anxiety, I received kindness, thoughtfulness and caring from people who have only met me through a blog. As I pondered the paradox of the two, it brought forth the following poem.
Seeking a Title
I appreciated the input about my WIP on last week’s blog post and thought I’d try asking for advice on my finished novel this week. I’m struggling to come up with a title. I’ve had a few different working titles, and I’m not really sure I like any of them.
Here’s what I’m going to do. Below is a blurb about my finished novel. Beneath that is a clip from the prologue (some of it has been removed for brevity), and then beneath that is a poll to choose a title. I highlighted keywords in pink font that may be important for a title. I’d like to avoid the “fork in the road” cliche.
On the poll, there is an option that says ‘Other,’ and it would be great if you had an idea you’d like to share, too. Thanks in advance for your help.
Weekend Wisdom
I have decided to stick with love. Hate is too great a burden to bear. ~ Martin Luther King, Jr

The Prince
You know when you have found your prince because you not only have a smile on your face but in your heart as well. ~Author Unknown
Last year at this time, I blogged about a young prince and a maiden who met, fell in love and got married twenty-seven years ago.
On June 1st they are married for twenty-eight years.
This young prince isn’t much of a romantic, but he sure is a fix-it guy. He especially loves cars. Here is the fix-it project he’s working on now.

Heed the Call of Christmas
Is Christmas about the hottest new toy,
or is it about love and joy?
Is Christmas about which house has the most lights,
or is it about reaching new spiritual heights?
Is Christmas about the most beautiful tree,
or is it about showing our inner light’s jubilee?
I Wept
Yes, I wept for our world today.
I pray and meditate every morning to start my day off with a clear head. This morning I did a little something different. I fell to the floor in tears to beseech Divine guidance for not only me, but the world. What is it we need to do to be at peace? What is it we need to do to keep the liberty that our Creator gave us?
Originally I had a more light-hearted blog planned for today, but I feel a darkness hovering over our world that I can’t shake. I felt a strong pull to express my concerns.
It’s been said that the definition of insanity is to keep doing the same things over and over while expecting different results. This is what humanity seems to do … keep repeating history. Are we humans insane?
