Beverly's Moody Musings

Being the Sister of a Drunk 8-24-09 Who is this stranger? Surely not my brother. Not the sibling I always claimed as my soul-mate, the one I could tell anything to, the one who helped me stand the wild-child sister who shared my room and made it reek of smoke. Not the sibling who always patiently... Sign in to see full entry.

Tuesday night’s LifeGroup was awesome. All of them have been, so far. Tonight, G.C. preached on the communion. He said that the passage about self-reflection often caused people to focus on their sin and made them to feel unworthy. However, he said, we should be reflecting on our identities as God’s...

Did Jesus ever get sick? Was His stomach ever upset?... I had been thinking about the pain He suffered on the cross, naturally being the day that it is, and then I wondered about this. Jesus left Heaven to become man so that He would experience life on our terms. We can’t really imagine that, can... Sign in to see full entry.

Tonight when I went to feed my dogs, Ashley was doing the dance that led me to another of her victims. Last time it was a young snake, and it was too late. This time, it was a bullfrog, and I’m not sure if it was too late, but it led me to some odd thoughts. Moody musings, perhaps. Anyway, the fat... Sign in to see full entry.

Please pray for Justi and George. They are traveling on Friday to have an intervention for George's son, an alcoholic. In so doing, they must face the ex-wife and estranged daughter.

He Stalks by Beverly Russell 8-5-08 Complacently, we forget he’s there, Go on our way without a care. Yet the Enemy is busy indeed, Working with diligence and speed. He has many targets, I know. One, my brother, we will not let go. We intercede with much prayer; Tell Satan, “Don’t go there!” We fall... Sign in to see full entry.

The Enemy Within by Beverly Russell 8-5-08 I pray to You in all sincerity, Asking for faith and for piety. Yet deep inside, something holds back. Something resists; there is a lack. Why can’t I submit and yield all? What cancer within me resists Your call? What won’t let go and break through? Take... Sign in to see full entry.

That Girl by Beverly Russell 1-13-06 She slides into her desk and hunkers down. It’s not in her to be the class clown, So she hides to escape notice from anyone, Hoping to get home unscathed when the day is done. Does her teacher know her at all? Who is she, really? Or is the teacher just glad she... Sign in to see full entry.
