Many many years ago, I learned that an author who I greatly admired and whose books helped me immensely in the early years of my healing from some past traumas, fell from grace, to put it mildly. I had a decision to make back then. I could discount all the healing and insight I received […]
Welcoming in the New Year 2020
The following questionnaire was shared with me a few years back by a fellow writer who wished to be anonymous but who gave me full permission to share it with others. It’s a good thing they wanted to be anonymous as I honestly forget which of my fellow writers permitted me to use this! If […]
It’s Your Joy, Do All You Can to Keep It!
A few years ago, it definitely was not beginning to look like Christmas in my city in mid-December. At least, not on the surface. With temperatures well above freezing and no snow on the ground, I still found myself singing “Jingle Bells” as I darted around my neighbourhood in my power-chair, a rare luxury in […]
Procrastination Will Bite
Procrastination. It’s making you wait. Yes, that’s a shameless rip-off of “Anticipation”, a Carly Simon classic from the late 60s or early 70s. I know procrastination will bite me if I am not careful. And yet, I still procrastinate. A considerable project lies before me. It’s going to be unbelievably tedious; it’s going to take […]
What’s Up With Katherine?

The Training Field Of The Mundane
“If God doesn’t rule your mundane, then he doesn’t rule you. Because that’s where you live.” ~ Paul Tripp An extraordinarily high percentage of the victims of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute massacre, which took place on April 16, 2007, were active and involved Christians. Raised in loving homes and involved in their local churches, the […]
The Princess Who Wouldn’t Be
But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvellous light. 1 Peter 2:9 (ESV) Disclaimer: This video was not created to specifically target children as it’s sole intended […]
Get Out of my Way! My Destiny Awaits
“Don’t waste your valuable time with people that are not adding to your growth. Your destiny is too important.” I have read similar quotes from various authors and speakers so I won’t bother identifying the source beyond assuring you I’ve heard such comments from so-called motivational speakers or life coaches who claim to be Christ-followers.
