Each and every poster, at some point, takes a break from here and they are always welcomed back. Why? Because we are a family, a family that has shared and been there for each other.

We are always here for you.


Yes, Job, I truly know this, and have experienced it, thank you! I don't think these ideas come from me, rather I think God wants me to rely on Him alone -- and to release me from various slaveries. I don't think God is judging me but rather inviting me to experience fully that kind of trust and surrender. I don't know for sure if I will be able to do that, but that's my goal. I have started practicing it in small ways but am waiting for Lent to hold myself to it. I know you will welcome me anytime, and I really really appreciate it.


I believe I will see the bounty of the Lord in the land of the living.
Wait for the Lord with courage.
Be stouthearted, and wait for the Lord.
