Enjoyed an outstanding weekend retreat in Mesa, AZ this past weekend.
Many women received healing from past hurts/traumas.
Have you experienced inner healing?

See www.Sevenly.org  for a different T-shirt each week that supports a good cause. Company donates $7 from each sale toward that charity.

Sorry: the site I mentioned doesn't come up--BUT if you delete www.    and simply google Community.compuserve.com   and then see the bar on the left--go to Board Folders and click on any of the ones that interest you, you will be directed to it.

My thanks to Peg who brought the malfunction to my attention!  :-)

Friday, May 4th at 5 PM through Sunday morning, May 6th, a women's retreat will take place in Mesa, AZ at the Country Inn & Suites by Carlson. Renee Marazon, from OH, is a welll-known speaker and author who has led many healing retreats for over 20 years. The cost is $65 for the three days, and will be more than well-worth it. Call Jerianne at 623-544-1787 or Marge at 480-201-6691.

The two topics are not directly related, but if you stretch your imagination, they are...

Holy Week leads up to Easter, Christ's Resurrection which gave us soul freedom.

The Constitution is about political freedom.

Here's a neat site if you want to learn more about our Constitution:
www.hillsdale.com It offers a free on-line course.

Have a blessed and happy Easter!

www.Pinterest.com  pictures of all sorts--great source for ideas, or simply to enjoy viewing.

I discovered an interesting website for writers:  www.community.compuserve.com
The site is not Christian oriented, but good writing tips are good tips, regardless of the source.

   There are countless blogs for any imaginable topic, I suppose. Since I enjoy writing, I might as well occasionally mention sites I like, etc.  "Funds for Writers" by Hope Clark is one site I subscribe to.  (Never mind the poor grammar here--I don't want to be formal in this blog).
   You can't afford to spend much time reading blogs, e-mails, FB, Twitter, etc.--so what's your secret for setting limits on that stuff? It's so easy to get caught up in it!
   My personal way of curtailing my time on blogs, etc. is to just not go on them every day! And when I do, I don't spend more than 30 minutes--often less.

  If we consider the "State of the Union" from a Christian perspective, our nation seems to be in dire need of a blood transfusion--specifically with the blood of Christ to awaken us to our condition (which, unfortunately, many people do not see as a problem, beyond our economic instability).
   Psalm 91 includes provision for our financial needs--with of course, the understanding that we truly abide in and trust the Lord.
   Those who receive my bi-monthly Whispers & Hammers have been given a heads-up about Psalm 91. I hope you have looked into it. Like anything that is worthwhile, it takes a certain amount of commitment to pray that psalm aloud for ninety days...one day at a time.

I've neglected this blog completely--almost buried it.  :-(
   Been busy writing, reading, various volunteer stuff. God willing, I'll keep up with this blog from now on!  BTW, regarding the Constitution Party--I decided to remain in the "mainstream" since I think it's unlikely that a new party (which is not yet officially recognized) will defeat encumbents. But I still heartily agree with the Constitution Party's values.
   I've come to the conclusion that prayer, if frequent and persistent, is capable of "allowing" God to do more than mere humans can. More to the point, God wants us to pray so that He can partner with us in changing our world, nation, state, city, community, families....you get the picture. But prayer is not sufficient--it needs to be followed with action.  
  Too busy? Freedom doesn't come cheap.
