The New Year has arrived, and, as always, it prompts me to glance at the goals I made for the previous year, evaluate how they went, and make new goes that I hope to meet, though I likely will fall short (again). Without further ado, let’s examine the goals of the year gone by. Start … Continue reading Reviewing 2025 Goals + Goals for 2026

The Greatest Gift
Photo by Jessica Lewis ud83eudd8b thepaintedsquare on Pexels.com Christmas is here again. It's supposed to 75 degrees, with a cloudless sky, and no chance of snow. It is different from the midwestern Christmases that I grew up with. However, Christmas is not about snow, not about unwrapping gifts, or stuffing ourselves with a big festive … Continue reading The Greatest Gift

Reflections on First John (part two)
Photo by Tara Winstead on Pexels.com Welcome back to Daughter of the Light. Today I’m sharing more of my (scattered) reflections on 1st John.

Reflections on 1st John (part one)
Photo by John-Mark Smith on Pexels.com I started memorizing 1st John last spring.

I thought that I would share some reflections I’ve had over … Continue reading Reflections on 1st John (part one)
We Found Our Forever Home?!
It’s been a while since I’ve written a general life update post. As I glance through the recent blog posts, I am struck by two things. 1st – wow, I haven’t posted much in the past couple years, and most of what I have written has been about books. 2nd – last time I did … Continue reading We Found Our Forever Home?!

How’d I Do? Reviewing 2023 Goals & Making New Resolutions
2022 was a good year. I was very productive and I did a lot of things that I was scared I'd never find the strength to do. 2023 was the oposite.

What Do We Do With Fear
I don’t like sickness. Period and complete stop. I have lived most of my life in a terrible fear of germs, disease and illness. I used to wash my hands so much that they would crack and bleed. I would get the water as hot as I could stand it and would submerge my hands … Continue reading What Do We Do With Fear
