Laura, over at Song Dog Journal, is living the life I dreamed of having, but I'm not jealous at all. My health never would have made it possible, so I'm so happy she's living such a beautiful life and so grateful she shares it in her articles and posts, assuring me it is possible and not just silly daydreaming. God bless her and all who touch her life.

Favorite Book Friday

I Know What I Love You Means (The Love series Book 1) by Staci Stallings Christian romance. Rereading in preparation for the newest series, Perspective. Not a hardship. 

Moving Mountains (The Love series Book 2) by Staci Stallings Christian romance. This series is actually one story broken into two books. The first is more the hero's journey and the second the heroine's journey. Once again, digging into my own past and learning better ways of coping and overcoming.

AI isn't really Artificial Intelligence; it's Access to All Available Information, without morality or the ability or desire to differentiate between truth and lies. AI shamelessly steals from everyone. Should you choose to use it, use it wisely.

Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.

Sunday Scripture

Isaiah 43:1 But now thus saith the LORD that created thee, O Jacob, and he that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine.

Favorite Book Friday

Disconnect (Saint Squad book 13 officially) by Traci Hunter Abramson Suspense romance. Rereading in preparation for the release of the 14th and final book in the series. A cliffhanger. 

Reconnect (Saint Squad book 14 officially) by Traci Hunter Abramson Suspense romance. A satisfying finish to the series, with the assurance that beloved friends will appear in other stories. Doesn't get much better than that.

Christmas is fun, a birthday, joyous, but only the beginning. Easter is the end for which the first was made. Easter captures the full range of evil and good with the clear victor being good. Perhaps the reason we don't celebrate Easter like we do Christmas is because of the ultimate sadness involved. We only want the happy parts of the story. However, it's the sad parts that make the happy possible, not just for now but for always. At Christmas, Jesus is the gift. He teaches us how to live our best life, to become our best self. At Easter, He gives us the greatest gift possible: Deliverance by conquering death and hell; He saves us body and soul. Everyone will be resurrected, everyone! No exceptions. Everyone is given the opportunity to accept Jesus as their Redeemer, Savior, Lord, and King to live with Him forever. Some will not choose Him, but they are given the right to choose. Those who choose Him will know unimaginable joy. Easter is the annual reminder of the choices we have before us. Which path will you choose?

Monday Quote

God cannot give us a happiness and peace 

apart from Himself 

because it is not there. 

There is no such thing. 

~ C. S. Lewis

 

Happy Resurrection Sunday!

"I have overcome the world." ~ Jesus

 Jesus the Christ, my Lord and Savior, Master and King, is Risen. He lives, now and forever.

 

It's Saturday...

The darkness of the soul is suffocating.

Uncertainty runs rampant. 

Hope is lost.

But Sunday is coming.
