What was Jesus writing in the sand?
We all know the story about the adulteress being dragged before Jesus to be stoned for being caught in her sin. We also know that Jesus had told the angry mob, that the one who is without sin, cast the first stone as He kneeled down and started writing in the sand. The next...
How was your day?
Today was an interesting day. Sometimes at work, I get prideful and self-assured. Today, God was teaching me humility. However, instead of being frustrated or embarrassed or whatever, I thanked Him for making me humble. Thankfully, His lesson only lasted through...
Book Club
This is the first time I have been a part of a book club. As I have mentioned before, we are reading "Blue like Jazz". There are so many "ah ha" moments in this book. It is so nice to know that I am not alone in doing what I do not want to do and what...
While growing up, what were you taught about God?
In my distant memories, I remember being afraid of God. Feeling guilty because I was already a sinner even though I was a child. Feeling shame and being unworthy of Him. Being told to confess to Him, so every week, like all little children, we went to confession and said we did...
What the heck is a Recoverying Catholic??
My brother-in-law asked me this question the other day. He and my sister, being devout Catholics wanted to know. I know many "former" Catholics and we all feel the same. Like we have to take a 12 step program to de-program ourselves from what we were taught or I...
So what does it feel like to be hit by a sledge hammer?
I've joined a summer book club at church. The book we are reading is "Blue like Jazz" by Donald Miller. I was reading Chapters 5-10. It was like God was hitting me over the head with a sledgehammer. I have to admit, he does have to do that now and again...
What is your calling?
I was listening to Greg Laurie on my way to work. He was talking about what God is calling us to do. What are our gifts? Do we have the courage to try and fail, as a process of elimination to finding our gifts? He said he would rather try and fail than to regret not trying...
How do you escape the heat?
We decided to see a movie at 4pm today. The house was getting hot and the thought of a dark room with air conditioning sounded really good. So we went to the Priates movie. (More)
Happy Independence Day!
This morning I was speaking with my son over the phone and wished him a Happy 4th of July. He corrected me and said, "Mom, it's Independence Day! Why doesn't anyone say that anymore?" This is coming from my son who has served as a Marine for 4+ years. I...
July already?
What happened to the first half of this year? (More)
Who am I?
Hi, I'm Deb and a recovering Catholic who gave up on religion, but was searching for something. I also thought I had given up on God, only to realize I hadn't and that He had not given up on me! What Good News that is! I live in Northern Nevada, married, have 3 married children (2 daughters and 1 son) and 5 grandchildren. Nope, they all live in different areas, which makes seeing them difficult. Thank you God for pictures!
I work on the North Shore of Lake Tahoe and am thankful for the drive I make everyday.
