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.

Just Talk It Over

Our nation is in a dire financial and political crisis and in more need of our prayers than most of us imagine.

There is great power in prayer and America needs the hand of God as a guide and a covering of protection. Please join me in daily prayer for our great nation, under God... and for guidance during these dark financial times and as we prepare to elect another president and a host of other public servants.

Pray now and keep praying. Become involved in the affairs of our land. Become a well informed, well "prayed up" voter.

If you missed the presidential candidates' debate, you can watch the entire video online here: http://twurl.nl/788i5f or if that link doesn't work, try this one: http://voices.washingtonpost.com/the-trail/2008/09/27/complete_footage_the_first_pre.html

I make no endorsement to the material on that web page or the Washington Post in general, nor am I trying to sway your vote... I am hoping you'll let God do that as you seek Him in prayer.

Remember, prayer is just a conversation with your Father, your Best Friend, someone who already knows and loves you, someone who very much wants to hear from you. Talk it over with Him.

And my day was like this...
  • 09:02 Jill coming in from Dothan this evening. I need to finish web site and tidy the house... oh, and pay the bills! 
  • 09:54 McCain was the clear victor in the debate arena, and now it's time to focus on finance. Big time! 
  • 14:29 Web work is done, housework almost. Time for a break to check out the news. 
  • 18:12 Time to go meet Jill.
We picked up our friend Jill from the bus station this evening and what a joy it is to have her here. I'm afraid I talked her ear off, though. We visited while I prepared food to take to a friend tomorrow. Then we just talked and talked until she looked like she was about to drop. She'd had a long bus ride from Dothan, AL and the Lord had arranged for a spirit filled traveling companion to get on the bus in Tallahassee, so her ride was pleasant and stimulating.

Jill will be with us until Thursday. She is just radiant with the love of Jesus and is always seeking His face. I am ever blessed when I'm around her.
