Untangle our Mess!
I woke early before daylight. This morning my head is full of prayers for my loved ones. I talk to God about each of them. I know my concerns are no surprise at all to Him, and that He is probably already actively working in our lives, weaving our lives into something that makes so much more sense from His point of view, which is so far above mine. (A beautiful full moon shines from out of the western sky with a huge golden circle around it to illuminate these thoughts in my heart.)

True Love. Top Story - February 2024.
My best friend is not of this world. But he makes himself available to me at all times. He has heard all my stories, been with me through the good, bad, ugly, and has dried my tears. He has been my comfort when everyone else has left me.

New Baby Love
What is love? Even before a child is born, a mother begins to have a connection with someone she really doesn't know. Love begins in her mind, her imaginations, her hopes, her dreams. She forms a picture of what love will look like, who love will look like, how love will act towards her.

Divine or Divination
She knew better to have gone to that woman's place. She had been warned. But curiosity had compelled her. Now, all that she could think about is how terrible a choice it had been. So, now she would be living out the consequences of her foolishness. She was sure of that, by all that was right and holy. Even if it had been with the best of intentions.
