I want to give you the latest information on my health. The last time I posted, I mentioned that I had an appointment in May to see a specialist about my condition (SSCD). I had that appointment, and I will be having a Middle Fossa Craniotomy to repair the condition (called a dehiscence) on Monday... Continue Reading →
Health Update
Hi everyone! It's been a while since I announced that I was stepping away from writing indefinitely due to Vestibular Migraine. Since then I have been trying more treatments, unsuccessfully, and advocating for myself. I requested my neurologist to order some additional testing.

When I Think About Christmas
“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.” (John 1:1,14, ESV) We all have our own special... Continue Reading →

Bearing the Name Part 11: “Lord, Lord”
“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many... Continue Reading →
Psalm 42: As the Deer….
“As a deer pants for flowing streams, so pants my soul for you, O God. My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When shall I come and appear before God?” (Psalms 42:1-2, ESV) This Psalm was my grandmother’s favorite. I’ve always loved it as well; but for a long while I never really... Continue Reading →
