I was cleaning out and throwing away old computer disks of sizes we can no longer use, including those little square ones and zip disks, when I came across a title to a book I wanted to write. God Runs Ahead.I had gotten the idea one day several years ago while talking to a lady [...]
Have you been enjoying the winter "tree" photographs the past few days?!? I sure hope so. I've really been enjoying seeing them scroll across my screen saver one after another and having the winning photo as my desktop for just a while longer, since winter is well on it's way out. At least, here it seems [...]
I started my new medication yesterday and started tapering off the one I'm already on for depression that wasn't helping. I don't know how long it will take for the medication to begin to take effect, but I hope soon. I hope that I will not only be able to tolerate it, but that it [...]
I'm going to confide in y'all today. I've not been one to do that to any great extent about myself, but I've decided to take the chance. We always take a chance when we're "real," don't you think?
