THE BRAVE CHANGE – SALVATION STORY #29

OCTOBER 1, 2012 begins the testing period for the Mobile Phone Apps I’ve been working on to bring Therapy to the IPhone; to bring what is not seen (true reality – that require faith to see there’s more than meets the eye; an opportunity to look at incredibly private and personal issues like body image […]

GETTING OUT OF THE WAY — SALVATION STORY #28

I have a new friend — a new partner in the way Richard Rohr describes heaven-made partners: “Suffering people can love and trust a suffering God, Only a suffering God can save suffering people, those who have passed across this chasm can and will save one another.” Terry called me recently to tell me he’d […]

TAKING A BREATH – SALVATION STORY #27

It’s been almost three months since I last posted a Salvation Story.  Time does truly fly sometimes, doesn’t it?  There isn’t a tragic or wonderful reason I haven’t written.  I’ve been busy.  My clients have been more burdened, more needy, more desperate . . . and I’ve been more privileged than usual to be a […]

WHAT IF GOD WERE ONE OF US? SALVATION STORY #26

I haven’t written for several weeks, because I have been involved in a new project — creating phone apps!  As my son said, “Who would have thought you would be working in technology?!”  The truth is, it has been a lot of fun and a great outlet for renewed creative juices.  The mobile phone/tablet apps are […]

CHURCH FOR FOOLS — SALVATION STORY #22

We’re all born to broken people on their most honest day of living and since that first breath. . . We’ll need grace that that we’ve never given I’ve been haunted by standard red devils and white ghosts and it’s not only when these eyes are closed these lies are ropes that I tie down […]

AWAKE MY SOUL — SALVATION STORY #21

Today is my daughter’s fourth birthday! I awakened to this text message from her: “Today I am grateful for 4 years of sobriety, that I am not defined by who I used to be but I am a stronger person because of it, for a huge God who loves me even when I don’t love […]

TOILET PAPER & FLEXIBILITY – SALVATION STORY #18

I haven’t written for a while because the trip to Asia took a lot out of me!  But the stories I have to tell! Before I left I prayed for God to put some words on my heart, and the first word that came quickly to mind was flexibility.  I already knew that long flights […]

A REALLY TRUE CHRISTMAS MIRACLE — SALVATION STORY #16, The Edited Version”

This is the edited version of the blog I sent out last night.  Apparently, the tears that were still in my eyes blinded me to all the typos or I simply forgot to use the miracle of spellcheck. I went to a movie with my parents tonight — that seems to be a new American […]

A REALLY, TRULY, FOR REAL MIRACLE FOR ME EVERY DAY – SALVATION STORY #16

I went to a movie with my parents tonight — that seems to be a new American Christmas tradition, doesn’t it?  My dad picked it out — War Horse.  All of the Internet posts used words like “beloved”, “hopeful” and “inspirational that are translatable to our own lives as well when times are tough.”  Who could […]

IS GRACE ENOUGH? – SALVATION STORY #8

“My story is a rosary, the beads of which are the people and experiences that have made me what I am.  I have tried to move from one bead to the next, but my fingers are feeble and my eyes are tired.  So please forgive me; you will experience gaps and breaks in time and […]
