At times, I get exhausted chasing all of my writing ideas and plans. And I’m tempted to panic when I look at my “to do” list.
So, after examining the lessons I learned rearranging furniture last week, I realized I needed to rearrange a few things in my writing life, too.
I learned a few important tips last week helping my daughter Tara reorganize some of the rooms in her home.

I plan to implement some of the following insights that I discovered while helping Tara with a few household projects.
I never imagined that this activity would help me solve some of the problems in my life with prioritizing, resolving conflicts, planning, and improving relationships. I think you might find them helpful, too. (more…)
As I prepared to celebrate Easter, I received another invitation from Ron Benson to join The Lazarus Experiment on Facebook.

… Jesus called in a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out!” (John 11:33 NIV)
Everyone needs a do-over.Resurrection is the ultimate do-over.
But Jesus didn’t need to reset his moral compass. He didn’t resolve to do better the second time around–the first time was perfect in every way. Resurrection for Jesus didn’t mean a do-over. (more…)
“He comes alongside us when we go through hard times, and before you know it, he brings us alongside someone else who is going through hard times so that we can be there for that person just as God was there for us . . .” (2 Cor. 1:4 MSG).
Have you ever been pulled into someone else’s painful narrative? You’ve suffered the pain of losing a loved one. Or you know what it’s like to be left behind. You might be sitting in a waiting room right now. (more…)
“Take chances, make mistakes, get messy!” (Ms. Frizzle, The Magic School Bus)
I still struggle as a blogger, even though I’ve been blogging since 2008.
Why? Because I still don’t like others to see my shoddy first, second, or third drafts. And that’s usually what you see on my blog posts. Ugh! (more…)
“Look at the birds, free and unfettered, not tied down to a job description, careless in the care of God. And you count far more to him than birds” (Matt. 6:26 MSG).
What a great reminder for us all, as we face the mirror and our work today!
I captured this shot at DeGray Lake this past week. I don’t claim to be a great photographer, but I LOVE this shot!
Speaking of the mirror and my work, I don’t really have the freedom to spend too much time on blogging today. [You’ll understand why if you read my post from last week.]
But I DO have the freedom to share my photo and this promise from God’s Word with you.
I pray it encourages you today!
