At times I’ve wondered if God maybe took the wrong spouse. My husband was well loved by everyone who knew him, and I’m not. I have an INTJ personality type—the one usually depicted as the villain. Add in my C-PTSD, and things go from bad to worse. Of the two of us, I’d say the… Continue reading I Will Follow Him. Ruth 1:14-17

Who Decides When it’s Time to Go? Ruth 1:10-13
When I received training to do my husband’s dialysis at home, I was told I could nick the artery where the needles went in and I wouldn’t be able to stop the bleeding. It would mean a trip to the ER, and he could possibly die from it. Nothing like knowing you could cause your… Continue reading Who Decides When it’s Time to Go? Ruth 1:10-13
My K-drama Obsession
If you’re a Gen-Xer, you might remember the “Kong Foo” movies of the past with extremely bad English voice-overs—like the actor’s mouths were still moving waaay after the words were said. I don’t know why, but while everyone else of that era watched Little House on the Prairie and The Waltons, I watched Asian men… Continue reading My K-drama Obsession
Blessed Friendships- Ruth 1:6-9
I didn’t expect to lose friendships when I lost my husband, but I did. Some just weren’t close enough to go through a hardship with me and some were close enough but had no desire to grieve with me.

The Long Goodbye—Ruth 1:1-5 Based on the first five verse in Ruth chapter 1, I believe Naomi may have experienced a type of long goodbye. Her children were born during a time of famine. Their very names speak to this— Mahlon means sickness and Chilion means wasting away. The Bible doesn’t say, but it wouldn’t… Continue reading The Long Goodbye- Ruth 1:1-5

A Kingdom in Peril- 1st chapter
If the gates of Hades existed on Earth, they would surely be found in Rivania. Gemma drove her knife into the unclothed savage in front of her and moved on to the next before his knees even had time to hit the blood-soaked dirt at their feet. The Ulriki were a sight to behold, completely… Continue reading A Kingdom in Peril- 1st chapter
Genesis 7:11 How did I miss this?
How often do we speed through the parts we think we already know? I know I’m not the only one who does this. I’m one of those who reads the Bible through, and when I’m finished, I start over. So there’s no telling how many times I’ve read this verse and didn’t see this. We… Continue reading Genesis 7:11 How did I miss this?

We haven’t talked in a while. A Long While. I’ve had good intentions, but you know how that is.
