LIVING ROOM MEMORIES 272 (March 23, 2010) Recognizing that the up and down moods I’m experiencing are the result of anger and frustration helps I think. There are things I can do about anger, things not as easy to do with depression. I can talk about it with someone. I can resolve the source of […]
Read More...I may have hurt the person I talked about in the last post, but I think I myself hurt almost as much when I realized what I had done. I love King David’s words from Psalm 51, knowing very well what a “broken and contrite heart” feels like. The person who I’d hurt must have […]
Read More...LIVING ROOM MEMORIES 269 (March 12, 2010) I’m healing. Feeling rather quiet and not carefree yet, but healing. This morning I talked to the person who I had hurt and his response to my apology was comforting. I knew he would forgive, yet I did need to talk to him personally and hear him say […]
Read More...What a shock to read the previous post this morning! I thought my behaviour started getting bad several years later, the result of being hurt. But not as early as 2010!

I’m becoming healthier emotionally, though I could use a lot better physical health. Today, memories of what Living Room once was to me are coming back after several […]
Read More...LIVING ROOM MEMORIES 267 (March 3, 2010) I’ve been going through a lot of ups and downs, mostly brought about through plans I had for Living Room that I just haven’t been able to bring about. Things standing in my way, though that’s probably a good thing too. Maybe the timing was not as God […]
Read More...In the last post I wrote “I’m committed to seeing more Living Room groups spring up. I want to see many Living Rooms to serve people who need faith-based support. I want to see this movement securely in place to continue long after I’m gone. Because it’s a valuable ministry, a ministry that all Christians […]
Read More...LIVING ROOM MEMORIES 264 (January 17, 2010) I’m finding it increasingly difficult to post – increasingly difficult to be absolutely honest about the stuff I’m dealing with.
