2:39 – We Can Overcome Trauma #faithbites #faithjourney trauma A smell, a sound, a phrase, or even a subject can bring long forgotten or seldom talked about traumatic events to the surface. Things that happened decades ago are as real as it was then. People may say get over it. You may have thought you were over it, but it’s […]
2:15 – I Made Myself Angry #faithbites #faithjourney Angry This #faithbite is going to the pot calling the kettle black or an example where I should practice what I preach, but here goes nothing. The past couple of days I have been angry. I receive bad news from someone and I get mad. Someone doesn’t do something that I thought […]
364 – I resolve to…. Be There for Someone #faithbites #faithjourney someone Before church this morning, I walked into the washroom to take care of business before service began. Two older gentlemen were in the bathroom and one said to the other so and so wouldn’t have made it this far if it wasn’t for you. They continued talking about […]

I loved that song back then, but even more than the song was the debates and drama about the title. Should the song title be Ironic or Coincidental? The […]
237 – Blood Boiling Anger #faithbites #faithjourney boiling There are those days when you get mad then you get over it. Then there are days when it takes you a bit longer to get over the anger. But once in a while, you have a day when your blood feels like it is boiling. Your anger is seeping through ever […]
215 – You Really Matter #faithbites #faithjourney matter Today was a mixed bag of a day for me. My knee was driving me crazy, I ticked off someone by trying to help, and another person gave me feedback on someone else questioning what I was doing. That on top if not sleeping well, getting ready for vacation, and having a […]
#144of365 #FaithBites #FaithJourney Life Finds A Way Every year, my daughters and I plant a garden. Most of it is vegetables and then we add some flowers to give the yard a bit of color. This year was started out no different. In February we went with the great-grandparents to find the seeds we going to plant. We laid the […]
