What does “Small d democracy?” look like?

everfaith

I had a feeling the story about Obama’s ties to the Chicago New Party which was formed by Democrat Socialists for America and leaders of the Communist Party USA would break in the mainstream media. Today this article appeared as a link on the FoxNews website. It also mentioned a quote from Obama that made me scratch my head in confusion. There is much America does not know about Obama. Take a look at this statement he made after he and two other New Party members were victorious in 1996: these victories prove that small ‘d’ democracy can work.” I … Continue reading What does “Small d democracy?” look like?

Ask The Father Directly

everfaith

Don’t let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God, and trust also in me.” -Jesus, in John 14 Didn’t I say it was so? A cold front blew through yesterday. In a matter of minutes, the temperature went from a balmy 79 degrees to a very cool 52 degrees. This front was all bluster and not much brawn…very little rainfall and not even a hint of thunder. But the sunset it left behind was spectacular, and I rested a moment in the sheer majesty of the Master’s paintbrush. Soaking in moments such as these is like applying balm to my … Continue reading Ask The Father Directly

Shooting snapshots for my heart

everfaith

I just realized that the calendar on my wall is still turned to September. In a blink of an eye, everything changes, doesn’t it? Blink. I was ten years old and couldn’t wait to grow up. Blink. I was twenty years old and couldn’t wait to get married. Blink. I was thirty years old and couldn’t wait for my four-year-old to be able to tie her own shoes. Blink. Six years later, I watch and listen as my own nearly-ten-year-old child professes her desire to be all grown up. Today I find myself wandering around in a depressing funk. I … Continue reading Shooting snapshots for my heart

Heavy Duty

everfaith

My washing machine has more features than my car!  I can do a second rinse, a soak, and a prewash.  I can do laundry for light, medium, or heavy soil levels, and I can wash it cold/cold, cold/warm, warm/warm, and hot/cold.  There’s a button on there that gives the clothes an extended spin.  I can select Normal, Delicate, Handwash, Jeans, or Heavy Duty. Trouble is, I pretty much use one setting, all the time.  I always like our clothes washed in HOT water because I like the illusion of all the little germy germs getting washed away (although I know … Continue reading Heavy Duty
