Building Bridges Across the Divide
Tasos Katopodis/Getty Images
The Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse in Baltimore has been on my mind a lot. I also hear the song, London Bridges Falling Down, going around in my head. However, the Baltimore Bridge didn’t fall down because of foundational issues. It was hit by a big, heavy barge that knocked it over. I’ve also had a lot of the division and lack of connection in our country…

The Tied Up-Knots of Nots
I love the knot prayer for one reason and one reason alone. It reminds me of what I do “not” do that gets me all tied up in knots in the first place.
“Lord, won’t you kindly untie my knots for me?” I pray.
“Ah…no,” I hear the response in my head. “You tied them up good this time, but as I’ve told you before, if you want to set yourself free, you must untie the knots yourself.”
“But the knots…

Breaking Down The Barriers
Love is like a free-flowing river that fills every nock, crevice, and cranny of my very being.
Sometimes, of late, though, I have become like the busy beaver mindlessly collecting sticks of frustration, unease, and bewilderment, plugging the holes with the stones of anger it creates in me—I then solidify my embankment with the muddy muck of outside influence. After a few days of floating on the…

Let Go And Ride With The Flow
I have filled the pages of last year’s journal, and now I’m ready to begin 2024 with my new, beautiful journal. Like the first day of the new year, I start my entrees with a clean slate. I have no new resolutions to share, only a motto I came up with that goes…Let go and ride with the flow of life. I believe in looking for the synchronicities in life that help confirm if we are indeed going in…

Letting Go of The Hold

Letting Go of The Hold
The holidays are designed to create joyful memories that hopefully last a lifetime. I recently attended a party where we went around the table and shared one of our fondest memories of Christmas growing up. With all the recovery I’ve had over the years dealing with my difficult upbringing, I’m happy to say I’ve been better able to reconnect with some of…

Day 365: The Values of God
Day 365: The Values of God
I think the most profound value I have come to understand is what it means to be made in the image likeness of God. It means I have the same ability to love as God has loved me and express that God has given love to others. CFR
How appropriate it feels to end the last post of my, One A Day Values, honoring God. The values I have shared, after all, have come from my personal questions as a human…

Day 364: The Value of New Year Resolutions
Day 364: The Value of New Year Resolutions
A resolution is a firm decision to do or not to do something.Webster dictionary
I like the feeling that new beginnings conger up, setting new goals, and researching all that goes into the changes I want to make. Notice I say, want, to make, and not, should make. I’m taking a different approach this year. Rather than denying myself the things I enjoy, I will work on a more mindful practice of the…

Day 353: The Value of Our Instincts
Day 353: The Value of Our Instincts
Instinct comes from the body’s reaction to life, and intuition comes from our souls’ experience. Bring them together, and how can you go wrong. CFR
It’s interesting to note that there is a difference between instinct and intuition; they tend to be interchangeable. I see it, especially when looking at quotes.
“Instinct comes from the word instincts, or “impulse,” meaning it’s a biological…

Day 362: The Value of Aspirations
Day 362: The Value of Aspirations
There is no value in dreams if you can’t visualize them coming true. Our dreams come true through the stirring and value of our aspirations.CFR
An aspiration is hope or ambition of achieving something. I can’t think of a better time than the end of the year to stop and reflect on our hopes, dreams, and aspirations. I’m not talking about setting goals here, although that’s a part of achieving our…

Day 361: The Value of Good News
Day 361: The Value of Good News
Everyone has inside him a piece of good news. The good news is that you don’t know how great you can be! How much you can love! What you can accomplish! And what your potential is!~Ann Frank
I was looking through the newspaper this morning, and we have an Opinion section every Monday called Good Things. It’s a day that Lancaster Newspaper takes a few moments to highlight good news. It is…

Day 360: The Value of The Day After Christmas
Day 360: The Value of The Day After Christmas
‘Twas the day after Christmas
‘Twas the day after Christmas when all thro’ our house,Not a person was stirring Not even Ollie Dog.The stockings hung empty At the fireplace side,And visions of wrappings All tossed aside.A reminder of grandkids Full of wonder and cheer.Our house was full of family,An answer to prayer.As I lay beside Ollie I whispered in his ear,“I can’t believe it’s over…in the…

Day 359: The Value of Jesus’s Humanity
Day 359: The Value of Jesus’s Humanity
May the peace and blessings of the Christmas spirit be with you.
My neighbor came by the other day to wish us a Merry Christmas. She had one of her little boys with her, and he was curious to see all the decorations we had and wanted me to turn on the lights so he could see everything lit up. As I turned the manger light on, it looks like the star of David shining into the stable. My little…

Day 358: The Value of Receiving
“When we give cheerfully and accept gratefully, everyone is blessed.” ~Maya Angelou
We talk a lot about how important it is to give to others, and to give without expecting anything in return is even better. The Bible teaches that “It’s better to give than receive.”Acts:20:35. I’m not here to argue with the word of God. I think we all understand the Bible is referring to those who selfishly…
