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.

Payoff!

Once again, we owe only mortgage and tax debt. Hopefully, it will stay that way! Credit cards are so insidious, and without realizing it, you can build up high priced debt. It felt good to pay them off.

We have prayed for financial healing and God has always met our needs. Usually, it has been much like He fed the Israelites as they wandered 40 years in the wilderness. Each day He provided for the needs of that day... except on Friday, He provided enough manna for 2 days so they would not need to gather it on the Sabbath. Also, when Jesus taught us to pray, the sample prayer says, "Give us this day our daily bread..." Not bread for a week, or a month, but daily... as needed, but not extra. This teaches us continual reliance on Him.

Well, it's late and we need to leave early tomorrow to go to the dentist in Lakewood. I need him to either remake these dentures or refund my money. The teeth are set in to one side and crooked... They are not working out at all.

And my day was like this...
  • 22:26 Playing Pogo.com games with Richard. We're too lazy to shuffle real cards. 
  • 08:21 Off to Bible Study and pick up our house sale check. Time to pay off some debts. 
  • 13:35 I forgot I had a mamogram and bone scan scheduled today. Thank heavens I remembered before too late. 
  • 14:04 Am leaving to get my intimate parts smashed in the interest of breast cancer prevention. 
  • 15:59 Back from tests, enjoying Athena & Brian's Derby party pics. Especially love the horse movie. Yay for rescue! 
  • 16:07 Taking care of financial records, payments and planning. Very freeing. 
  • 20:20 Praise God! All we owe is the motgage and the IRS! 
  • 20:21 Time to play games on pogo.com Richard is pretending to be me because I can't win at checkers so he'll get that badge for me.
