We Have So Much In Common With Nature

As I Approached my home, and turned into my driveway, I counted 14 deer grazing on our property. They may have looked up, but not one moved. They are used to us, and we are used to them. Like actors doing their routine on a stage, they seem to know how to move with their stage-the Earth, and it’s energy. They are peaceful, and gracious in their own way. I have watched as first a doe would come around, then... (posted by Susan 23 hours 16 minutes ago.)

Keep Your Compulsions To Yourself

I’m sure we all have things we do that are regimented, and important to our frame of mind. I think life is supposed to be like that, and we are meant to learn as we go along.

How Do You Relax With A Mind That Won’t Quit

Sometimes, I just have to laugh to myself, as I smile and I acknowledge God’s Divine intervention. I felt the need to write today but didn’t have a clue what to write about, and then, there was Bruce! And with a topic I chase everyday, and have for years. I have been trying my entire life to find books, documentaries, therapists, anti depressants, hot tea, sitting by... (posted by Susan 17 days 17 hours ago.)

Nothing Goes Unnoticed By God

Yes, God sees you take a swig off the milk container, and put it back. Sly smile as you approach the family faced towards the TV, but God knows. Not a mortal sin, but signs of your character. God sees us at 14, sipping everyone’s drink at the family picnic. Everyone is so toasty, they don’t notice, but God sees. When we lean over just enough to see the smartest kid in the classes...
