What’s to Come?
This really wasn’t a draft, now was it? In my fruitless attempts to write for fun and interest, I occasionally open a new post and then stare at it mindlessly before realizing I absolutely have nothing to say. Heaven knows when I initially created this blank page but it was…

Thin-Skinned
Maybe it was because the brace was on tight. Or perhaps it was the shot to make my leg right. But I think that the most likely reason of all is that . . . I broke down and prayed to be healed. Typically, I prefer not to bother God…

Break Time
It’s the season of Christmas, the celebration of Jesus’ birth even though he most likely was born in April. And with all the glitz and gluttony and the SUV commercials that imply that unless you buy your significant other a fancy vehicle you are not worthy of love, it’s difficult…

The Band Plays On
Four-oh-five. I roll over and burrow back under the blanket. That’s a bit of a switch. I tend to awaken at 4:36 a.m. Some spiritualists believe the repetition of a wake-up time will — or already does — have significance in one’s life or death. Mostly, I’ve heard it’s between…

How It Ends
Sunshine! (If ‘on my shoulders’ just ran through your head, I will find and hurt you.) After a gloomy few days, it’s 56 degrees, the snow is slinking away and I warmly welcome the reprieve. How exciting: I now have zero excuses for ignoring the dog poop that has accumulated…

Lullaby
There’s a sweet meme floating around with an image of a person holding a sleeping baby. The gist of it is that should we fall asleep while praying, it is no more ‘wrong’ than an infant fading into slumber while being sung a lullaby. In essence, you’re falling asleep in…

Not Breathing
We’ve had beautiful sunrises in my neighborhood. Even in the chill, I’ll walk outdoors and take a video — west to east, front of the house to the back — of the brilliant peach, pink, orange, silvery sunrise reflecting off of the cumulonimbus clouds. Sighing, I head back inside. “It’s…

What to Do at 62
I am intrigued by the message of a popular guy on FB Reels/TikTok, @MichaelArmstrong444, who talks about children who have reported past lives to their parents, and its scientific basis. The overarching angle is that we stick with our family group — we tend to choose to — life after…

Incivility, Unevilbility and Deliverance
“Deliver us from evil.” I pray that every day and sometimes twice a day, thus one can only guess how many evils I’ve been delivered from during this year alone. Certainly more than I’m aware of — and I’m aware of many. I might have gone too far this time.…

Finding Faith in the ‘Reel’ World
Watching TikTok or Facebook reels, my algorithm often gravitates toward individuals who discuss past lives and karma and why, for heaven’s sake, we are here. Fair enough. I’ve been aware, maybe my entire earthly life, that I pre-existed. When very little, I used to astral project and float down the…
