Having spent most of the last 9 years unable to work due to migraines, I have had a lot of time to sit and think. Came up with many thoughts, most of which my cold church hated. Then when I started my theololgy studies a 1.5 years ago, I was pleasantly shocked to find out others have had these same thoughts they just get the credit of having thought of them first cuz they were big name theologians of the past and present. That was a huge morale booster! My 'original' thought matched the thoughts of the big boys [and girls].
Great minds think alike, right?!
It's not too fun to have people dismiss our ideas and thoughts simply because they are ours! UGH!!!
Hello everyone! The sun is shining today...yay!! Went through many, many days in Oct with no sun. It really got to me...along with some really bad spiritual stuff.
Praying that things will get straightened out soon.
I'm starting to do a few things to perhaps help me help myself...or in other words, make things happen.

We don’t see any American dream; we’ve experienced only the American nightmare. We haven’t benefited from America’s democracy; we’ve only suffered from America’s hypocrisy.
