LIVING ROOM MEMORIES 40 (January 25, 2007) I’m excited about the meeting our Living Room group is having tomorrow! We’ll be starting a four-session series of discussions: A spiritual journey to discover what we’re here for. Whoever is interested in joining the journey (I suspect it will be everyone in the group) will be reading […]
Read More...LIVING ROOM MEMORIES 39 (January 3, 2007) – from A Firm Place to Stand by Marja Bergen “…faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.” (Hebrew 11:1) A leap of faith, from not believing in a God to trusting in him – someone I couldn’t even […]
Read More...LIVING ROOM MEMORIES 38 (January 1, 2007) Yesterday our pastor started a series called The Dash in Between. (You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes. James 4:14) I’d like to share with you some of the key points, hoping that you will be inspired as I was. Now this […]
Read More...LIVING ROOM MEMORIES 37 (December 29, 2006) I’m working on an autobiographical account of my life with bipolar disorder and how God has been working in me over the past 18 years. Today I’m trying to write about the topic of motherhood…trying to figure out whether my illness had any ill effects on my son’s […]
Read More...LIVING ROOM MEMORIES 36 (December 19, 2006) Several days ago I noticed myself dumping all my feelings on my friends. I’m the kind of person who doesn’t lie easily. When someone asks me how I am, I let them know – sometimes in great detail. Not a good idea. But a day later I realized […]
Read More...LIVING ROOM MEMORIES 35 (December 16, 2006) I must do something to rid me of mulling around so much within my mind. I got up at my usual time, 6:30, and did nothing but ruminate until 10. I know what I need to do right now is to get moving or I’ll get sucked down […]
Read More...LIVING ROOM MEMORIES 34 (December 13, 2006) I’ve decided that my main focus this Christmas has to be to create a clean happy home for our two mothers, my son and his wife, and my sisters when they come. I’m only going to bake two things: shortbread is done and I still want to make […]
Read More...LIVING ROOM MEMORIES 33 (December 11, 2006) I almost hate to post this. Worried someone from life in my touchable world will read and consider me unreliable.

Read More...LIVING ROOM MEMORIES 32 (December 9, 2006) I mentioned a few posts ago the stress I was feeling connected to Christmas. I honestly didn’t look forward to it.

Read More...LIVING ROOM MEMORIES 31 (December 5, 2006) Over the last couple of days I’ve been trying to decide on what I most wanted to write about next: shortbread (I’ve got the best recipe) or grace.
