You know how challenging it is to live with diabetes. Those days when it seems nothing is going right. You can't control your blood sugars, then you get a bleeder when changing an infusion set and your meter runs out of batteries at the worst possible time. The countless times when the possibility of complications weigh heavily on our hearts. The frustrations of not being able to eat something without first having to do some ...

By Paulo Coelho Bruno Ferrero tells a story that one day, a countryman knocked hard on a monastery door. When the monk tending the gates opened up, he was given a magnificent bunch of grapes. - Brother, these are the finest my vineyard has produced. I’ve come to bear them as a gift. - Thank you! I will take them to the Abbot immediately, he’ll be delighted with this offering. - No! I brought them ...

Photo courtesy of Libby What do you think of this phrase: “The Joy of Apathy”? It sounds like such a clashing contradiction: how can joy, which is associated with happiness and passion, be found in the opposite stoicism of apathy? While joy and apathy certainly aren’t the same, they often work together and are complementary, as we’ll see. Every one of us has a capacity to care and be happy. That’s good, and is a ...

Father Cantalamessa, published by Zenit:However, the parable does not say "a man sold everything he had and started to look for a hidden treasure." We know how such stories end: One loses what one had and finds no treasure. These are stories of dreamers, of visionaries.No, man found a treasure and, because of this, sold all he had to buy it. In a word, it is necessary to have found the treasure to have the ...

I found this today, and it's something that I'm sure we've all witnessed or been through personally. So many times people let anger or hurt feelings steal moments away from us that otherwise should be cherished. Two friends were walking through the desert.During some point of the journey,they had an arguement, and one friend slappedthe other one in the face.The one who got slapped was hurt,but without saying anything, wrote in the sand:"Today my best ...

I found this earlier today and really wanted to share it with everyone...I Asked God...I asked God to take away my pride. God said "No. It is not for me to take away, but for you to give it up."I asked God to make my handicapped child whole. God said. "No. Her spirit is whole, her body is only temporary."I asked God to grant me patience. God said "No. Patience is a byproduct of tribulations; ...

wiseacre photo posted a photo: ts never easy to hope. There's such great risk. Such potential of hurt. Love and hope are dangerous things -- because they make us feel. And feelings make us human, but humans fail, and things fall apart; without rhyme or reason or explanation. But we dust off and get up and find the reins of hope yet again. Perhaps foolish and foolhardy, selfish or blind, but there's a story to ...

So, I can't imagine my life without Dr. Horrible. I'm dimly aware of doing things prior to watching it. I wrote a book, learned to walk, lost my virginity, etc etc. Silly things. Trivial things.Joss Whedon. I don't think there's even a word for what I feel for him.There's awe, that's a given, plus a vasty respect. Then those two emotions are tangled up with an odd, primal terror. I know that sounds odd, but ...

I'm still reflecting on the whole "angry with God" thing I mentioned a couple of posts ago, and I can't get over how profound it was for me. I tend to be such a "God is awesome!" person, all smiles when it comes to Jesus. Had I not gone through that, I would've missed out on something crucial to the development of my relationship with Him.In that time, I saw what it was like to ...

I recently received this good letter, and I'm going to respond to it in this blog.I am a missionary in Africa, and I wanted to thank Randy for his book on Heaven. It was a blessing to read and provided much food for thought. I found it freeing as well. I felt the freedom to go out and plant some flowers in our hard-packed dirt yard to add some beauty. In my mind it was ...
