3:195 – How Do You See the World? #faithbites #faithjourney world Setting This morning, after taking my dog for a walk, I let him hang out on the deck. He sat there motionless just staring at the world. I wondered what he was looking at. Was it the birds in the trees or the bunnies running around? Maybe he was […]
3:194 – I Don’t Want To Adult Today #faithbites #faithjourney adult Last night was a rough night: bad storm, kid in my bed, kid in the hallway at 3:00 am waking up dog, and dog up at 5. Needless to say, I’m exhausted. It’s one of those days when you just don’t want to adult. I don’t want to cook, […]
3:192 – People Are Dumb #faithbites #faithjourney dumb I’m sitting poolside listening to the kids ages 6,9,10,11. They were talking about behaving and then it got to wearing masks. My daughter said people are dumb when they aren’t wearing masks and they don’t know how to wear them. While I don’t necessarily agree with that statement, as a species we […]
3:189 – Pretending Is Exhausting #faithbites #faithjourney pretending Yesterday, we talked about how people may be sick or in pain but “look ok“. We also discussed how like sickness and pain, we are all commit sins that aren’t visible. Part of that invisibility is the nature of pain, sickness, and sin. It’s below the skin and you can’t see what’s […]
3:188 – You Don’t Look Sick #faithbites #faithjourney sick Setting I was walking the dog this morning and had a good conversation with my neighbor. When I walked away, I realized that she probably had no idea how much pain I was in from my back. That got me thinking about so many people, including my nieces, who are sick […]
3:187 – It Gets Better At The End #faithbites #faithjourney end Have you ever started a show or a movie and wanted to turn it off because it was bad only to hear a friend say it will get better at the end? How about going through detox from medications? Knowing how terrible it is but if you make it […]
3:185 – And I Screwed Up Again #faithbites #faithjourney screwed So this #faithbites was going to be about something else and then I screwed up again. Yelled again twice when I shouldn’t have. I apologize am forgiven and then it happens again. I’m not asking for absolution, just frustrated at myself. How many times have I don’t this, said I […]
3:180 – Me Time or We Time #faithbites #faithjourney time Quarantine life is kinda weird. We have so much more time to be with family than we normally do. (I know not everyone is able to have this time, so my heart’s full of thanks for essential workers). The weird thing about it, is the limited me time is gone […]
3:178 – Fri-Yay or Cry-Day? #faithbites #faithjourney fri-yay Setting At our house, we call Friday, Fri-Yay. It’s a day for fewer chores, more fun, and sometimes eating out. We take time to celebrate the work of the week and reward ourselves. Today, my best friend came up with Cry-Day. Meaning we can make a choice, it is going to be […]
I wasn’t Taught This Or Was I? #Racism #WakingUp #Mindbites This is the first in a series of being open about growing up, understanding privledge, and making mistakes. Keep in mind, I am blessed to have grown beyond this thinking. Life in the late 80s / early 90s, was different than now or at least I wasn’t as aware of […]
