How God can really surprise us with the unexpected
Have you ever felt you were at the starting gate, the flag was lowered, and you didn’t move? That’s where I’ve been way too often. I’ve finally taken a move.
Hi, from The unbelievable Ark Encounter.
We are in Kentucky. God is surprising me once again. This. happens all the time. I expected to enjoy it. I expected to learn a lot. I expected to be blown-away by the ark itself. What I didn’t expect was for it to be a spiritual experience. But […]
What I like to do on a car trip.
My husband surprised me with a trip for Mother’s Day. We are headed to the Ark Encounter and the Creation Museum in Kentucky. I like to take pictures when we travel and especially of barns. I really like this first one as it looks like the buildings are […]

Follow up to “When depression can no longer be your excuse.”
Depression is a hard subject to discuss. Depending on one’s mood when one reads anything, what is written can feel hurtful. That is never my intention.
But at the same time, the truth cannot be ignored. Depression IS treatable. It can be overcome.
It doesn’t matter how we got into the pit, we can get out. But that almost always means we face some truths about ourselves. That’s true with almost any endeavor I can think of.
I don’t post anything about depression unless I’m sure I’m in agreement with what the “professionals” say. At the same time, my own experience and those of countless others suggest that there are individual components that are always present, meaning people have unique ways of getting better that worked for them and could help others. This is called anecdotal evidence and it has a legitimate place in the discussion.
No one needs to feel guilty they are depressed. No one would choose depression. It doesn’t matter how we got into the pit. It only matters we get out.
