Maria's blog: August 2012

Thursday, August 02, 2012. My heart is heavy today. This week is the Chik-Fil-A controversy. The COO, Dan Cathy stated:. I think we are inviting God's judgment on our nation when we shake our fist at Him and say, 'We know better than you as to what constitutes a marriage,'" Cathy said. "I pray God's mercy on our generation that has such a prideful, arrogant attitude to think that we have the audacity to define what marriage is about.". And certainly I'm not fearing the Lord at that moment because I'm bel...

Maria's blog: August 2009
http://mariahope.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html
Monday, August 24, 2009. With that in mind, I think I'll let this blog morph into what it will. Idealistically it will become a hot spot and people will be encouraged and uplifted by reading the words on the screen but more realistically, there will just be empty words unless the Lord chooses to do something with these seemingly meaningless thoughts. So read on if you will. A commentary by Matthew Henry suggests:. I began to wonder about my own life. What objects in my life have I made into idols? Return...

Wednesday, July 25, 2012. I've heard it said, "Experience is the best teacher.". I've been thinking long and hard about even posting this because it threatens my insecurities. I hate to really open up to anyone because I hate to look weak. I fear being "found out." I have a lot of pride and I see that this is something that desperately needs to change in me. But mercy is best described as "not getting something we do deserve.". We all are affected by that misery and sin, aren't we? Isn't what God is want...

Maria's blog: April 2009
http://mariahope.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html
Thursday, April 09, 2009. My neighbor's name is Ben. Today is his birthday. He turns 88. He is a widower. He lost his beloved Josephine 15 months ago. He's lived in the same house since he was a boy. He raised his own family in the house he was raised in. He recounts stories of how he has seen our small town expand and change with the decades. He's grown old with his wife there. I hope someday Ben can grasp how fully he is loved by his Father. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile.

rantings of a thirty-something: October 2007
http://rantingsofathirtysomething.blogspot.com/2007_10_01_archive.html
Rantings of a thirty-something. Tuesday, October 30, 2007. Strong and Bitter Words Indicate a Weak Cause.". If there's one thing I've learned by doing what I do for a living it's this: Bitterness is a marriage killer. Last week while typing my 600th divorce transcript, listening intently on the words of a woman scorned, it was yet again confirmed to me that our. My job is a constant reminder to me to keep myself in check. Too often I find myself harboring bitterness towards my dear husband. I get...But b...

Wednesday, July 08, 2009. The following is a dump of photos that document a few of the things we did as a family this past spring. The weather was really nice this spring and we had a lot of opportunities to be outside. After dinner one evening we found ourselves at a nearby park and went on a hike. It was fun to explore a new place, and one so close to home. I found after grocery shopping I could go hiking if I wanted to. :). We had opportunities to travel too. We took a few day trips, one to Kitter...

Saturday, January 23, 2010. Don't try to explain it. Http:/ www.dispatch.com/live/content/faith values/stories/2010/01/22/fv nathan.ART ART 01-22-10 B4 H1GCGLB.html? Wednesday, January 20, 2010. How can I not be moved? I don't have anything that can compare. So I can't know or judge what is going on. I've not been given that role. Oh Jesus, come, bring Your compassion, your healing, your freedom to these people. Their greatest needs are things I take for granted each day. Change me. Give me y...Of course...

Rantings of a thirty-something. Wednesday, January 9, 2008. What'd i ever do to you? I met with my personal trainer this morning. We exchanged pleasantries,. And then she tried to kill me. Out of shape old ladies. Monday, January 7, 2008. And now for a random theological question. . . When you pray, who do you pray to? What I mean is, are your prayers to God or to Jesus? When you bow your head to pray, who do you address said prayer to? In your mind's eye, who are you looking at? Saturday, January 5, 2008.

Rantings of a thirty-something. Monday, December 15, 2008. You say goodbye, but I say hello. . . Wow Where to begin? I guess by saying "Hello". It seems that's the direction my life has taken right now. But in order to have gotten to the "Hello" part, I've had to say A LOT of goodbyes of late. Let's review:. Another BIG "Goodbye" has been our decision to leave our "church home". We've attended this particular church for about four, (five? Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). This Puppet Will Dance.
