I had a standard "About Me" that disappeared with one of the gremlins a few months ago. Since then I have been "undefined."
I've been on Shoutlife for almost two years now, and it has been a lifeline for me. Being somewhat handicapped (though, thankfully, I can still get around some), the computer has become my main way to keep in touch with the world. Shoutlife has been more than the world for me--it has been a spiritual family that God has used in many wonderful ways.
I used to teach French, Spanish, English, and English as a Second Language until I had to leave on disability. I won't go into all that now, but the disabilities have really made me learn to appreciate every little thing so much more than I ever did before. And they have taught me a lot about God's providence. He never fails.
Now I have started reviewing book on a blog as well as here, and I do copy editing. God gave me some incredible connections that started right here at Shoutlife.
Okay. This has been weighing on my mind for quite some time now, and I just can't take it any more! Hardly anyone reads my blogs, I know, but I've got to let it out even if no one else sees it or benefits from it. What is this? The murder of the En...

Veterans' Day Memorial: My Personal Veteran Hero
11/11/2009 - 1:03 AM
I have a soft place in my heart for one special veteran of the US Armed Forces, an old soldier from World War II, one Sergeant George Thomas King. You won't find him in a history book or listed for heroic deeds above and beyond the call of duty. Yet ...

A major theme in Talking to the Dead by Bonnie Grove is how people deal with grief. The fact is, in spite of the steps of grieving outlined by psychologists, the individual reactions and timelines for this process are as varied an...

Hi Cathi,
Thanks for the add, I appreciate it! I hope that your week is going great and that Friday will be kind to you! Thanks for helping to make this site such a cool place to be a part of, it's been a real blessing to me in the short time that I have been here.
I'm just inviting people over to visit, check out my page and take a listen to some new tunes, if you feel like leavin me a note I'd appreciate that too.
I hope that you have a good evening, God bless and stay strong in Him!
I'm giving away the entire WOR bundle today. Check out my blog for details. It includes the 6th book which hasn't yet released. But if you'd like a copy as an influencer, e-mail me.
Thx. It seems we may be able to stay. Apparently they were doing some type of repairs to the auditorium. I'm not even sure of what happened. I'm getting this from a prayer chain. I'll find out in church next Sunday.
But we'll be able to use the auditorium next week. Hope we can stay after that. Keep us in prayer please.
Hi Cathi,
Just stopped by to say hello... Hope you're doing well...
Have a great weekend....
May He Who Created All Things richly bless you in all you do....
My church is called Journey Church Brooklyn. We meet in a public school. We've just lost our location. The pastor has another school as an emergency location for this Sunday, but that school isn't in such good repair. He's asking for prayer to find a suitable location that will be available every Sunday. Pls pray.
Cathy, this was sent through the ACFW Loop, regarding a young woman named Maggie...please pray...
My daughter Maggie is a freshman at Gannon University in Erie. We got a call from the hospital at 2:00 am that she had a seizure and was admitted. They did a cat scan and found a 4 cm lesion on the top of her brain. Kathy and I drove to Erie this morning and made arrangements to have Maggie transported by ambulance to Allegheny General in Pittsburgh. The neurosurgeon in Pgh said he "thinks" the lump looks benign but he will not be certain until they do an MRI.
They are putting her on the surgical schedule for tomorrow to have it removed. We're waiting to hear back on what time.
Kathy and I have been up since 2:00 am, driven several hundred miles and been through two hospitals today. We are exhausted
Thank you, Cathi. Everyone here has been very nice and welcoming so far. Enjoy the book (autographed copies can be purchased directly from my Web site).
Thanks for the Rickman pic. 8D
Sorry I've not skyped you yet. Still settlig into the new (limited) personal space. Lost about 700 sq. feet, and our bathrooms are tiny, which means hangig baskets. Still have books to unpack.
Hi there! Hope your day is glowing with the Sonshine of God's promises. May God's intentions be realized in your life today and every day here after.
God has made clear His purpose and goal for your life. Because He wants each of His children to understand and accept that His plan is to bring them into the full likeness of Jesus. He wants them to comprehend that He forgives their sins and wraps them in rich robes of righteousness. He wants them to practice being holy as He is holy. Holiness is not a thing beyond your reach it is a commitment to live exclusively for God, His glory, and His kingdom just as Jesus did. Depending not on your intellect, earthly clout, and charismatic charm; But upon God's promises and His Holy Spirit to accomplish the things God has called you to do. He wants you to practice being as Jesus is. He knows you will stumble and maybe often. But He knows above all your stumbling that He intends to bring His people into the fullness of all His promises. Courageously step into the river of God's Spirit, drinking deeply as you go; allowing rivers of living water to flow out of your heart. See John 7:38 So that the world around you is touch, lives changed and multitudes swept into the Kingdom of our God. This was not unique to the early church and the Apostles. This is YOUR assignment. God intends to bring you into the abundant life that He has always promised to His people. And at the same time use you as the vessel through which He changes the lives of others.
Sending love and big encouraging hugs your way!

Thanks Cathi, so far I have been able to open your letter and also a reply from someone that I requested friendship with.
My problem has been not being able to open up when someone requests ME to be THEIR friendship. Will keep trying. Hope you are enjoyong your Sunday afternoon. I was on the bike trail yesterday for 9 miles, went to a bible study Sat. morning and also a garage sale. I'm ready for a nap!
