Thrive Out Loud: Coexistence
http://thriveoutloud.blogspot.com/2012/10/coexistence.html
Wednesday, October 24, 2012. Several weeks ago, I had some routine blood tests done. I don't think much of it these days. In fact, as I sat in the lab's waiting room, I thought about how nice it is to just go in for these tests without worrying about the results. Two days later, I got a voicemail. My rheumatologist wanted me to call him back right away - on his cell phone. My heart sank. I felt flush, that sensation where you don't know whether you are hot or cold. How can that be? I spend the next day d...

Thrive Out Loud: 36 while 36 - revisited
http://thriveoutloud.blogspot.com/2012/09/36-while-36-revisited.html
Tuesday, September 4, 2012. 36 while 36 - revisited. A friend emailed me the other day asking me how I'm doing on my list. I had no idea what she was talking about. Your list. You know? The list of things you were going to do this year. I forgot about the list. And 37 is just a couple weeks away. I'll admit, I had to laugh a little when I read it again. Most of the things I did this year weren't even on the list. Just never know where life is going to take you. Let's revisit. Write - my story. Yes, and t...

Thrive Out Loud: How It All Began
http://thriveoutloud.blogspot.com/2011/04/how-it-all-began.html
Friday, April 15, 2011. How It All Began. I could have never imagined the series of events that would lead me to start this blog. In my case, the road leading here is just as important as the road ahead so please excuse me while I take my time explaining. No, I can't be there in 10 minutes. My heart starts to pound. Okay, come in at 4:30. I call my husband, ask him to meet me there. What could be so urgent? He asks me again if I can get to the hospital tonight. I look at my girls. A lump starts t...My fa...

Thrive Out Loud: A Valentine Anniversary
http://thriveoutloud.blogspot.com/2012/02/valentine-anniversary.html
Tuesday, February 14, 2012. It just takes one day, one moment, to change the course of your life. Valentine's Day will no longer be just a day for romance, Hallmark cards, flowers and boxes of chocolate. It will always be a reminder. When my world's axis shifted, causing a ripple effect in every crack and crevice of my being. The doctor needs you to come in right away. Sitting in his office. My three year old with Valentine chocolate smudged on her face. The baby crying, wanting to nurse. What did it say?

Pastor's Blog: May 2016
http://stmichaelpastor.blogspot.com/2016_05_01_archive.html
Sunday, May 15, 2016. Another article from the Millennial Pastor. 12 REASONS WHY IT IS GOOD TO BE A CHURCH BULLY. JANUARY 23, 2014. Image Source – http:/ thebravediscussion.com. Church bullies have a special advantage, though. Most church people have been taught to be nice and kind, to refrain from stirring the pot or rocking the boat. Church bullies know that often people will not stand up to them, and that they can get away with just about anything. Warning, this video contains offensive language).

Thrive Out Loud: Hearts and Healing
http://thriveoutloud.blogspot.com/2013/02/hearts-and-healing.html
Tuesday, February 12, 2013. We sit at the kitchen table, cutting red and white hearts. Hands sticky from too much glue. Scraps of paper scattered across the floor as she creates one-of-a-kind Valentine cards for each of her friends. Her long, curly hair gets in the way of signing her name. I take it all in. Because today, more than any other day, I'm reminded of how our world can turn upside down in an instant. On Valentine's Day 2011. It could be anything. Anything from an infection to cancer. Last Febr...

Thrive Out Loud: December 2012
http://thriveoutloud.blogspot.com/2012_12_01_archive.html
Saturday, December 29, 2012. I've spent far too little time here this year. And while that's not necessarily a bad thing, I have missed it. Just when I think nobody noticed my infrequent posts, I get an email, phone call or text message saying, "Where have you been? Once a month isn't cutting it, sister! Or "I hope all is well.". All has been well. In fact, as I reflect back to this very day last year, I am reminded of just how well it has been. And so it began. And here we are. Enough about me. How ...
