Consider these three situations from the last 5 days. What would you do? What would Jesus do? What should I do? (And hopefully the “names” I’m giving people […]

Thanks to those of you who ventured replies to my last post. Here are the “right” answers. 🙂 The lady from church was very upset and mad at someone else, and the friend was telling her to calm down. Think of our expression, “boiling mad.” If you were boiling mad and someone poured cold water […]

I’ve had two birthday celebrations lately. Yesterday was the pastor’s birthday, and since I basically live in the pastor’s front yard (my house is in their courtyard), I get to be part of lots of family things. So yesterday the kids of the pastor and I made a cake (which is so much easier with […]

Sometimes I feel like I’m between a rock and a hard place. Well, it’s more like between dust and heat. You see, I’m north of the equator, so December/January is the “cold” time here. That meant that it felt great to leave my windows open a lot. Most days it was in the 80s, getting […]
