http://ponderingsanddiscoveries.blogspot.com/2013/04/here-today-part-1.html
Monday, April 15, 2013. Here Today. (part 1). My grandmother had COPD. Grandpa had cancer. I watched as unnecessary diseases ravaged their bodies, giving them both a shortened life. April 15, 2013 at 3:12 PM. Great memory. I have several of her too. I like to wear a piece of her jewelry when there is a family gathering, makes me feel like she is there in spirit.

ponderings and discoveries: Where September and April Collide
http://ponderingsanddiscoveries.blogspot.com/2013/04/where-september-and-april-collide.html
Saturday, April 6, 2013. Where September and April Collide. Poor baby. Two days after she was paid off, too. Yes It's been since September. And this a the result of a collision. . . Granted, it wasn't September colliding into April, but it was a jeep colliding into our sitting duck of a van one heavily snowy and slippery day. I think I got behind on my blogging and felt that well, if I don't do it today, I am sure I will do it tomorrow. Well, today's "discovery": Don't procrastinate. Ha! Here Today. ...

ponderings and discoveries: Just Do It. Plain and Simple.
http://ponderingsanddiscoveries.blogspot.com/2013/12/just-do-it-plain-and-simple.html
Monday, December 9, 2013. Just Do It. Plain and Simple. 8221; (ESV) This is a beautiful illustration that cuts to the heart of the matter beautifully. Well-wishes are meaningless in a world full of suffering. It is only by doing. Something tangible that we can strengthen our brothers and sisters. Let your yes be yes and your no be no, and do what you say. One little deed, afterall, can show a fallen world what living. With real faith is all about. December 9, 2013 at 8:23 PM.

ponderings and discoveries: January 2012
http://ponderingsanddiscoveries.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
Tuesday, January 31, 2012. The Hard Life of Faith. Living a life of faith can be one of the most overly-spoken clichés known to man: “easier said than done.” But what if I said that is precisely one of the major lessons we are here to learn? What if I said that no matter who you are, and no matter when or where you live, mankind is completely plagued with this one aspect of “human nature,” just like you and me? So if I’m not in control, who is? Or rather, Who? 8220;ask, and keep on asking. Just to trust ...

Friday, December 30, 2011. Year-End Ponderings of Faith and Faltering. As 2011 rolls around to its final days, I find myself thinking back on all of the wonder and awe that God has brought about in my life. I think of the many ways He has provided for me and my loved ones; the magnificent times of worship with other believers and how He met us in those places; the hardships I have had to endure to help me learn to give thanks in all. I can honestly say that each and every one of us, whether we have come ...

ponderings and discoveries: February 2012
http://ponderingsanddiscoveries.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html
Thursday, February 9, 2012. Something I don't really talk about over here on this, my eldest of blog-children, is my health. That is something I do here. But for today, I felt the need to share something wildly profound and surprisingly simple at the same time: love poured out through sacrifice. One of the things that I deal with on a weekly basis with Lyme is the dreaded headache, and some days, it's a full-blown migraine. Yesterday was no exception. Got a little massage from a few different family memb...

ponderings and discoveries: August 2011
http://ponderingsanddiscoveries.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html
Sunday, August 28, 2011. This Thing Called Prayer. So how does this look to an average person in today’s incredibly busy society? I believe that in all things, we are to look to God for direction. Again, how does this look? The second part is often forgotten about: listening. How do we hear the voice of God? Peace, love, and cider mugs. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

ponderings and discoveries: October 2011
http://ponderingsanddiscoveries.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html
Monday, October 24, 2011. 8220;Uno. dose. tres. cuatro.” I hear my 4-year-old counting away in the other room. With two older sisters in elementary school in Racine, she learns much from them, including how to count in Spanish. It blesses my heart to hear her expanding her mind, including multi-culturalism; not that she understands what is really taking place, of course. If the Bible commands us to do this, it shouldn’t be that hard, right? In spite of every evil thing in this world, God is still good...

Friday, September 21, 2012. Her Cheshire Cat grin makes me wonder sometimes. I wonder how this gorgeous little thing all of five years can captivate my heart with just a glance. What a thing of beauty she has become. Her long golden silk tumbles down the shoulders and melts into a fragrant honey river, allowing anyone to escape into glory for just a moment.

ponderings and discoveries: March 2012

Monday, March 5, 2012. Perseverance and the Gift of Grace. Those of us who struggle daily with some type of affliction know what it means to persevere. We walk through each day of our lives, fighting to survive. Many days, we often sit back and think how miserable our situation has become; others, we realize it's not so bad. I have decided to come out shining. I choose to be the frog who fell into the cream, only to kick long enough to make a step stool of butter, and hop out of the conundrum. So that th...
