fear – Let's Have Another Piece of Pie

Freedom

I have posted this quote before. I decided to “bleed” a little today. It’s been a while. I have felt a bit dry, much like the summer heat in The Middle. My dryness comes more from fear rather than the weather. I have an irrational fear of failing. Failing at what? How can pouring myContinue reading “Freedom”

Out With The Old…….

Here we are already five days into the New Year. I decided to take down the Christmas tree and all the decorations that go with that wonderful time of the year. Sigh. I hesitated. If you read my post O Christmas Tree then you know that we cut down a fresh tree. A VERY freshContinue reading “Out With The Old…….”

And The Beat Goes On……….(my personal musical)

Fear. Sadly, I know it all too well. I have come a long way, but I am always trying to be aware of the unwelcome fear creeping in. I have learned that most of the fears I entertain are irrational, for me. Fear of worms, caterpillars and Dentist visits. Fear of rejection is a bit bigger in my mind. FearContinue reading “And The Beat Goes On……….(my personal musical)”

My Goals – Score!

I was faced, recently, with the question: What are my goals for my blogging adventure? Ugh. Goals, to me, belong in soccer or football. I’m just kidding, but, making a list of goals has always been difficult for me. Let me tell you why. I am the type of person who runs from goals, mostContinue reading “My Goals – Score!”

Where the Wind Comes Sweeping Down the Plain

I am side tracking from my mini-series of summer time memories – even though I have only posted one post on summer – I will continue later today or tomorrow. But a new thing has popped up in my life. Please know that I am in no way mocking or taking phobias lightly . NotContinue reading “Where the Wind Comes Sweeping Down the Plain”

Doggie Parks

This is day #20 in the NaBloPoMo thirty day blog challenge. Almost there. I have a hard time following the prompts they suggest, but some are pretty good. But today I am doing my own thing, again. The subject of Dog Parks popped into my head. I have never taken my dogs to a dogContinue reading “Doggie Parks”

It’s That Time Again

Today is Halloween in my part of the world. It happens every year on the 31st of October. I have mixed feelings on this day. Some even call it a holiday now although I’ve always had to work at regular wages and we never got that day off. But that’s OK, we all have thingsContinue reading “It’s That Time Again”

Fear: Thief of Dreams

this just about sums it up……. AND, “Where God’s love is, there is no fear, because God’s perfect love drives out fear…..” I John 4:18 New Century Version cate b.

The Bruises of Life

Another tragedy for America – The Boston Marathon Bombings. With each disaster that hits our nation comes a twinge of pain, as in an old wound that acts up from time to time. When we experienced first hand a great loss in our family (see Prisoner of Hope series on this blog) it brought aContinue reading “The Bruises of Life”

No Fear

Several years ago while enjoying Six Flags Great Adventure Amusement Park in NJ I saw a teenage boy with one of those “No Fear” brand t-shirts on. It attracted my attention because on the front it said, “FEAR…..”, and on the back it said, “Thief of Dreams”. I was taken back about how true thatContinue reading “No Fear”
