              I have truly missed you all. I sort of pulled myself out of life for about six months. Depression. But thanks be to God, I'm starting to pull myself out!  *** The weather in my neck of the woods***   Can we talk about how much I can't stand the weather this winter? We have been in the upper 30s to 50 (yesterday, almost 60) and not a flake of snow. It rained all day today.  It's really quite depressing.        *** Things that make me happy *** Family. Writing. Reading. Relaxing after work. A cup of hot tea. Ollie Bear. Planning.      *** Book I'm reading ***   In the Bible, I am reading through Revelation and went back to an online class I started a long while ago.  I am also reading:  Finishing up The Court of Mist and Fury  Just starting: Wherever the Winter Runs by Kelly Minter Up next: The View from Rainshadow Bay by Colleen Coble  Bible Study:  In January ...

I'm not sure that I have ever been consistent with much throughout my life. This blog - and blogging in general - are a testament to that. I started a website last year and that lasted all of a few months before I realized it wasn't the right fit. I may try again later this year, but I'll be keeping this blog as well. This has been a very hard year for me. I know it has been for so many others too.  Without getting into specifics, the world is on fire. That weighs very heavily on my heart! I allowed it to keep me in a deep depression for several months.   My fiance has been gone for the past three months and won't be home until about mid-February. He is taking care of his older brother through some health issues. He's having a hip replaced on January 13th, so any prayers you can send his way will be appreciated!   I lost my beloved cat very quickly to cancer in June. My heart is still broken. I loved that little scamp! He was just about to turn 10. He s...
