Lenten Reflection
Matthew 10:39 If you cling to your life, you will lose it; but if you give up your life for me, you will find it. (NLT) It would be easier to give one’s life in battle or in martyrdom than what Christ actually asks of us. Not only does Christ demand loyalty over family, he… Continue reading

A Biblical Lesson for Lent
If you refuse to take up your cross and follow me, you are not worthy of being mine. (Matthew 10:38, NLT) These words applied to the disciples and to all who want to be worthy of Jesus (“worthy” meaning willing to follow and serve, as in 10:11). To take up your cross was a vivid… Continue reading

Feeling Complete
Last year I wrote about discovering through DNA testing that I am a descendant of enslaved Canadians and Americans. All my life, I’ve felt like something was different. Inside, I felt like I didn’t match what others saw when they look at me. I couldn’t explain this feeling to myself. I felt so disconnected. After… Continue reading

Little Time, Lots to Do
I really don’t have much leisure time. My days are filled with training Bobby, my service dog in training. I like to unwind as we all do. I turn to indicate colouring books and my gel pens. I love working on miniatures. I am currently, albeit slowly, working on a 1:60 scale Orthodox Church from… Continue reading

He was begging for water, having accidents… Just not normal for him. I started having him tested. He tested positive for Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD). Since he was… Continue reading

Overwhelmed
I feel so overwhelmed lately. Things were going really well at a steady pace for a few months. I was getting things done at home, taking care of myself and working with Bobby. Then things started to crash. There was something wrong with Bobby but no answers as to exactly what it might be. We… Continue reading

Miniature embroidery
What skill would you like to learn? After many years of not working on my miniatures, I have finally started to do it again. One of the things I would love to be able to do is create some embroidered covering or wall hangings for my miniature dollhouse. I work in both 1:12 scale and… Continue reading

Open the World of Education and Freedom
If money didn’t matter. If money didn’t matter, the most important thing I would do is create a school system that had no fees for students. My school system would start with your children aged 4 and go right through to university. No costs to parents and no costs to teenagers who wanted a university… Continue reading

My Heritage
What aspects of your cultural heritage are you most proud of or interested in? As my readers know, I was adopted when I was 6 weeks old. When I was in my early 20s, I decided to search for my biological family. I found them and I’ve been in contact with them over the past… Continue reading
