‘When I am weak then I am strong’ popped into my head during my morning devotions and I looked it up. It is found in 2 Corinthians 12:9-11. Well it actually says “When I am weak, He is strong”, My Bible Tells Me So. The idea here is that we…

A Day in the life of an Author?
Yep, that’s me, holding my precious, still new, devotional book. I have sold around 70 now and it is encouraging. But this is only the beginning. According to the experts, readers like to know what it is like to be an author. So I’ll give you a little peak. I…

Who Cares for the Caregivers?
This is me and my husband Cliff. Why do I need a caregiver? I have a mental illness, that’s why. More specifically, I have bipolar depression. My moods change frequently (although thanks to medication, not drastically), which means I change my mind about things, sometime I cancel plans at the…

“Jump to the Recipe!”
‘Baby Boomer’ was a favourite movie for me. It’s old, but so am I. I can identify with the main character in so many ways. One way is that she is a ‘bottom-line’ kind of gal. She wants her information, short and to the point. In the story, a fancy,…

Christmas
Small Baby, Big God
What would your nativity look like? Mine would look like the East General Hospital in Toronto, Ontario. Babies in the 50s in Toronto would have been born in hospitals and attended by nurses and doctors in a nice clean sterile operating room. Each of our births is something to be…

HOPE FOR HELP. HELP FOR HOPE.
HOPE often comes in the form of HELP. After all, HOPE is HELPFUL, do you agree? Sometimes help comes without our seeking it. But more often it comes when we do seek it. And the dear people I was speaking to last week at the Havelock Centre, indicated their desire…

Christmas is Coming – Hooray? or Yikes?
Beware! Christmas is coming! Unlike the words in the song, Christmas is not ‘The Most Wonderful Time of the Year’ for many, especially those of us who live with the challenge of depression. And for me the challenge of depression, which is often worse at this time of year. But it is apparently,…
