It's a journal. It's a devotional. It's a record of a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) survivor. It's documentation of God's activities in real time. There are good days and bad, happy times and sad... I tell it like it is. This is an unscripted walk along the meandering paths of my mind. My life has never been dull... and I've never known boredom. Read on, you'll see...

I am a happily married mother and grandmother of a large family. I've also had several careers including writer, teacher, trucker, investment and finance advisor, web master and artist. I am an ordained minister (not to the pulpit) and consider my calling to Christ's service my most important role in life.

Pain Powerup

Ear ache! Throat ulcers, ouch! I'm having a pain powerup!

Pain can be a good thing.

Pain gets our attention. It forces us to DO something about the problem.

So I'm taking my antibiotic and gargling my salt water and if it doesn't get better, I'll call the doctor again.

Of course, I am praying and God is listening. The fact that the pain is still here and getting worse simply means the Lord wants me to do something at this level. Maybe my doctor needs to hear a "Praise the Lord!" from me.

Maybe I pray better when I hurt.

Whatever, I still trust my Lord.
