I have a ton of music and this doesn’t surprise anyone who knows me for more than a day. I had some chores to deal with today so rather than trying to load cds individually I just grabbed a dvd with a few hundred songs not really caring what was on it. As I went [...]

“I am desperate to be without faults, but then sometimes I think it’s my faults that keep me desperate.”  Conversations with the husband….DebraBee

An email from a friend expressed a love for me while sharing a glimpse of the heart momentarily. I am always touched by such revelation because it is such an act of trust for one to open themselves up. They spoke to me of the guidance and love of Jesus and told me my own [...]

My reading material this past week is about “desire”! I keep switching between a couple of books, but the fact of the matter is the topic stirs my passion in ways I cannot quite describe well.

I used to listen to Van Halen enough to have seen them in concert more than once. After they changed lead singers I figured it was a doomed program but to my surprise they kept chugging out some music I still would listen to. It didn’t hurt they brought in a guitarist I also liked [...]
