The Lights One thing I love during the fall and winter is seeing lights. Some are very bright and some are rather dim, low lights and some are candles. Either way, they are beautiful! I’ve been thinking of this as it pertains to our life, especially during the holidays. Some years have been bright and cheerful. Some years have been darker, harder to see … Read More In Bright or Dim Lights – Let’s See Him!

When I Don’t Understand
by rduncanheart
Last week, a young successful author passed away. She left a husband , very young children and a kind, godly family. She has been the subject of many posts lately.

Describing Life With Epilepsy
by rduncanheart
I think of three words to describe living with epilepsy. These three words are: Loneliness, Hurt and Fear. Mostly epilepsy is known as having a seizure disorder. This is true, but epilepsy has many other symptoms and side effects; and even the medicines can have serious side effects. Even when we go through a period of being ” seizure free”, we still have daily … Read More Describing Life With Epilepsy

When a servant saw him sitting in the firelight, and looked closely at him, she said, “This man was with Him too.”But he denied it: “Woman, I don’t … Read More No Way, Man!

Expect or Hope
by rduncanheart
” What do you expect?” This question often comes up in our relationships day to day! We get irritated when our kids, our spouse, our co-workers, our friends or just anyone we run across, disappoint and fail to meet our expectations. Are these expectations too high or too low, are they completely unrealistic? We even fail to meet our own expectations, don’t we? The … Read More Expect or Hope
