Why are you so angry?

So many people are so angry these days. Such urgency about Earthly concerns, and no effort towards Heavenly pursuits. Creating their own drama so they can feel righteous. As for me, I’m quiet, still, and confident as I know where my house has been built. Is that arrogant or boastful? No, because I am nothing. I am a terrible sinner. My righteousness is ONLY built into my obedience to Jesus Christ. Having said that, I’m very thankful I don’t have to worry or obsess about politics or be manipulated by those profiting from the current discord in our great country. Guard your hearts and minds from the enemy. Don’t believe the hype. The devil is lying to you, and you’re buying it. How can I tell it’s the devil? Because God doesn’t create hopelessness and helplessness. God doesn’t make people feel inferior. Jesus taught us how to regard the government, and we’d do well to heed His advice. Focus on God, Jesus, the Holy Spirit. This is not your home. The battle has already been won!

“Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock. And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.” – Matthew‬ ‭7:24-27‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Welcome to my online home since 2004. I blog a bit about my life as it happens, my work as I am permitted, and occasional throwback entries. When I'm not writing new posts, I actively curate this blog, improving the wording or adding new media to old posts, and finally finishing old drafts I've left sitting for years. It is not my intention to be a source of news or content. I don’t have anything to sell, and I’m not trying to get likes/shares/follows. This site is an autobiographical effort - imperfections and all. My life, remembered in my words, my way.

When known, I include credit for photos in the captions. Contact me for photo credit or removal. *Side note: If you make one of my Mother's recipes, I'd be happy to post a photo of the finished product in the corresponding post, and give you full photo credit.

If you have comments or questions, feel free to visit the Contact page and fill out the form. I'll be happy to respond. Thanks for stopping by!
