After a long absence from blogging, I’ve decided to start back up. There were a couple of things that affected my decision to hold off for a bit.

1. I was struggling with my concepts of faith in my precious Lord Jesus Christ, and the topic matter in which I was writing at the time. I felt I needed time to reset.
2. I was having excruciating hip pain. At first I had no idea as to why. It hurt to sit. I could not sit for prolonged periods of time. From a scale of 1–10 with 10 being the most pain, I was at a 7 or 8. So sitting to blog exacerbated the pain.I didn’t want to take pain medication, so I did my best to deal with it. My hip is now getting better. I’ve corrected the issue by my confessions of faith in Christ as my healer, exercise, stretching, and I purchased an ergonomic desk chair. I also make sure I get up frequently and move around.

I’m sad to report that in my little town of Athol 4 young adults have recently passed away from heroin overdose. I knew the family of one of the young men who overdosed. This opiate epidemic seems to have this area in some kind of strangle hold.

Other than prayer and supporting my daughter who is in recovery. I feel I’m limited in what I can do regarding the opiate issue. My daughter is doing well by the way. I continue to remain hopeful in the Lord for her life.

Changing gears! In a time of prayer I felt inspired to begin reading Dr. Caroline Leaf’s book “Switch on Your Brain: The Key to Peak Happiness, Thinking, and Health.” I’ve been meditating on some of the concepts in her book. I will blog on this shortly.

Be Blessed!
