Why Do We Struggle to Find the Bright Side?

Posted on May 29, 2015May 8, 2020 by Cheerful Soul

Continuation of #mystory “How Do We Handle Suffering?“ It was a hot, summer day in August with the heat beating down. That time in summer when you just can’t seem to take it anymore. You’re tired of entertaining kids from months on end. You’re cranky beyond P.M.S…no reason, really…just because. You’re wishing you had more… Continue reading

If Jesus had a #, What Would it Be?

Posted on April 6, 2015May 8, 2020 by Cheerful Soul

If I had to guess…and it truly is only a guess…I would venture to say that a lot of people would give Jesus the #LOVE. Like if you and I were playing Family Feud, it would end up in the top 5 “People Said” categories. From the time we were young’uns, we have had it… Continue reading

God is Able

Posted on January 13, 2015May 8, 2020 by Cheerful Soul

“The heavens declare the glory of God. The skies proclaim the work of his hands. Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they display knowledge. There is no speech or language where their voice is not heard.” Psalm 19:1-3 I’ve come up with a theory as I’ve grown older: the more I… Continue reading

Seriously, why praise God?

Posted on November 19, 2014May 8, 2020 by Cheerful Soul

With #Thanksgiving just around the corner, I have been pondering these words: gratefulness, thankfulness, goodness and blessings. Living in America, we have so much to be thankful for. We have such incredible material blessings. However, we often spend more time perusing turkey recipes, than sitting down to think about things that really matter. We will spend more… Continue reading

A Bit of a Surprise

Posted on September 30, 2014May 8, 2020 by Cheerful Soul

I sat down to enjoy a cup of #mojo at one of my favorite spots, Mozart’s on the Lake. It is one of the few incredibly peaceful places where you can actually be surrounded by UT students hectically studying for exams and yet, get caught up in the serenity of the water. Peaceful, indeed. I… Continue reading

Sticky Fingers

Posted on June 30, 2014May 8, 2020 by Cheerful Soul

Let’s be honest, we like the security of control.  We may enjoy getting on the roller coaster for a spin but oh boy, we sure want to know that it’s going to end!  We fail to surrender all because we have no idea what is coming up ahead.  We have no idea what will be… Continue reading
