Stumbling Blocks to Joy

We choose our joys and sorrows long before we experience them. - Kahlil Gibran Experiencing JOY everyday. . . Is it really possible?

Yes, the joke is on me! HA! The last time you saw me here, I was joyfully writing about spring fever. Of course, at the time I wrote the article we were enjoying a taste of spring. Briefly. By the time the article was published, we were experiencing a snow storm with a bunch of snow piled on the ground! This past week as I was...

Now this was ok mind you, but then she moved out of State, and I was very alone. She left in 1997/98, I cant remember the exact year. Not...

I have been meditating on some things in which the Lord has been...
