Dear Friends seeking recovery in and through here-and-now application of the Savior’s offer of Atonement, . . .
The following post is the journal record of this morning’s dialogue with the Lord. In all humility I share it here. I have no intent or desire except to encourage and invite you to embrace the truth that [...]

Receiving the Gift My Father Has Offered Me

July 9, 2009 at 8:40 am

July 9, 2009
3:49 a.m.  I don’t know why I’m staying up at this time of morning, except that it feels like Christmas, and I am filled with love for God and from God.  A “Power greater than myself” is waiting for me every morning that I choose to forgive and dismiss the first impulse that [...]

The Only Thing that Saved Me . . .

June 7, 2009 at 11:29 am

There have been some posts of late addressing all the external, arm-of-flesh things a wife might try to do to “help” her husband and protect herself from having to put up with any more of his unrighteous choices, but I have never found any of them to be of any lasting effect. In fact, like [...]

April 1, 2009
I have another hour to go to cooperate with the Lord in His purpose that I give Him the first “tithe” of my day–or in other words the first 2 ½ hours.  I am not being coerced.  I am not faking it.  I have been persuaded, I will admit, by the deficit of [...]

January 27, 2009 at 6:45 pm

It came into my heart, this afternoon, to share this testimony on the Heart t’ Heart forums, and I felt to also post it here.
January 27, 2009
3:40 p.m. I’ve been writing in a green steno pad this afternoon. I don’t know what I do that for when I could just as easily type my thoughts [...]

PERSONAL: continuation of response to exercise #2 (p. 13) in HDDMFB
January 10, 2009(2nd draft transcribed and revised on January 21, 2009)
What is it that I believe that is negative–that leads to thinking in negative ways and that, then, leads to me acting out in negative ways–usually in the form of unhealthy eating behaviors?

Not Abandoning the Journey

Someone recently challenged me concerning something I shared at a HtH meeting. They [...]

THE TESTIMONY OF (FROM) CHRIST: A CONTINUOUS SONG OF HIS REDEEMING LOVE FOR ME (US ALL)

November 14, 2008 at 9:47 am

I can hardly pick up the Holy Scriptures without having single sentences, phrases and sometimes just one single word open my mind and heart to His mind and heart—and through the Holy Spirit [...]
