God’s View

Yesterday was the second anniversary of Katrina and there were several television shows commemorating the event.  Each story seemed to focus on illness, high crime, depression, homelessness, and the slow rebuilding of homes.  There was also a story featuring the children of the storm and how they have been progressing in the past 2 years.  […]

TBD

How many times in our lives have we gotten information that made us feel like the world was ending, or at least made us want it to? Malignant medical diagnosis, divorce, financial problems and death are all very scary, dreaded and unwanted experiences. Throughout my life I’ve experienced my share of tragic events, […]

The Waiting Game

Divine discontent
I’m sitting in front of the computer wondering what I will write.  Is there any particular inspiration I’d like to share?  Is there something I’m moving through that may benefit someone in our My Goodness family?  I sit and wait, and nothing inspirational or uplifting comes easily.  I’ve been in this mood for a […]

Letter to My Boys

There are new beginnings unfolding for you.  New school year.  New football season.    New opportunities.  New friends to make.  New chances to take.  New possibilities.
There will also be new temptations.  New challenges.  New disappointments.  New heartbreaks.  New struggles.  New hurdles to overcome.  New pitfalls to traverse.

Let Freedom Ring

With butterflies in my stomach, this weekend marked the first time I “officially” led worship at my new job. (That feels weird to say because when I’m choosing the songs to sing, gathering vocalists to sing with, and leading worship it doesn’t feel like “work” . . . course, it’s early yet . . […]

Handling “It” . . . Whatever It Is

I’ve been watching Diddy’s Making the Band 4 on MTV.  I really enjoy watching people go for their dreams – the commitment, the persistence, the confidence and the humility . . . it’s all very inspiring to me.  Last night there was a story that really caught my attention.  Carlos, one of the young men […]

Living Life, Hands Down

I’m taking a class called Jesus the Master, and for the first time hearing things about Christ in a new way.  One of the missions of the class is to inspire its students to become Disciples of Christ in the same way the disciples of Jesus’ time did.  Our home work includes reading scripture about […]

What if Jesus said, “no”

What is it you believe you were born to do, the purpose only you came here to fulfill?  Yesterday as I contemplated Jesus, his courage, his passion, his willingness to make meaning out of his life,  I began thinking what would have been different if he let fear get the best of him or decided […]

Turn Over the Tables

Yesterday my husband and I had a dinner and movie date.  Since the birth of our first son these are huge events that happen only occasionally.  My husband insisted that we see Michael Moore’s Sicko.  Some what curious, I agreed.  I had no idea what I was in store for.  Having seen Michael Moore doing […]
