Shalom God: May 2009
http://shalomgod.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html
Sunday, May 31, 2009. I Don't Blame You. It's really too early in the morning to try and write to You coherently but as I leave my house to go to the Brain Tumor Society's Ride for Research I just wanted to remind You, and me, that I don't blame You. So, it's not Your fault that we have disease in our world and I don't blame You for the bad things that happen. In my moments of strength I might cry out and ask You, "WHY? Saturday, May 30, 2009. There was evening and there was morning, day one. You know th...

Shalom God: July 2009
http://shalomgod.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html
Monday, July 13, 2009. I had a lovely day with my daughter today and I just wanted to thank You. It's wonderful how I'm able to get lost in my children and forget all of my worries and troubles. I imagine that that's part of the reason You gave us children - to help us remember what's most important and keep our priorities straight. When I have a day like today - when I treasure each moment, I'm so thankful for the gift of awareness that You have given me. Friday, July 3, 2009. Thank you for supporting m...

Shalom God: Meourning
http://shalomgod.blogspot.com/2011/07/meourning.html
Monday, July 18, 2011. Yesterday we had to tell our girls that one of our cats had most likely died. We don't know for sure but we haven't seen him in more than a week and she was sick. We imagine that he left to find a place to die. In any case, Coko, we miss you. You were a really good friend. Maya, your sister, misses you too. God, if You care for the souls of animals as You do the souls of humans, please look after Coko. Please stroke his fur for us and give him kisses. He brought...David Paskin, or ...

Shalom God: August 2011
http://shalomgod.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html
Monday, August 29, 2011. I have baggage. I'm shlepping around feelings, emotions, pains, struggles and anger that I don't need or want. Here I am - in a new home, ready to begin a new year - with a healthy family, a wonderful community, fantastic opportunities for learning and growing and I'm still burdened with my baggage. I'm tired of being weighted down God - if You could carry some of my baggage - I would appreciate it. Thanks for listening,. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). A graduate of Brandeis Univers...

Shalom God: Grow Up
http://shalomgod.blogspot.com/2011/07/grow-up.html
Wednesday, July 6, 2011. Explain something to me - how is it that my children are growing up but I'm not? I'm not denying my age - I'm not afraid of getting old - I just don't think of myself as an.adult. And I certainly don't think of myself as responsible enough to have three children, one of whom is a teenager! All I can say, God, is, "I'm trying" and "I'm growing up." For every year that my children grow I gain not only more grey hair but also tremendous knowledge and insight about myself, the pa...

Monday, July 25, 2011. There has been an empty room in my house lately. Three out of the last seven nights, my eldest daughter has slept out of the house. This isn't new. In fact, she was away for a full month a couple of years ago at summer camp but since then she has been home every night.until recently. Monday, July 18, 2011. You know, hope is a wonderful thing but it can also be painful. My eldest held out hope until late at night that we would find our furry friend (Coko.) Having to convince...Espec...

Shalom God: June 2009
http://shalomgod.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
Friday, June 19, 2009. I'm anxious. I have an interview in a few minutes and I'm really nervous. I just wanted to connect with you for a moment to ask for Your guidance and Your calm. Remind me that any gifts I have are given to me by You and that You are the Source of my success. Help me to be honest and open while drawing upon Your wisdom and Your insight. Help me to find the serenity that You have created in our world and allow it to fill my stirring soul. Sunday, June 14, 2009. God, give me the stren...
