I have written about being a misunderstood Christian multiple times before. Alas, the problem has only gotten worse lately, and quite frankly it’s mostly because the only Christians many non-Christians see are the “Evangelicals”, This term used to simply mean someone who was a member of one of the more conservative church bodies, but lately has become synonymous with homophobia,… Read more »
I admit it. I’m a hypocrite. Last week I wrote about the importance of NOT constantly arguing online and logging off when you need to. If you missed it (I was having publishing issues) you can read it here: http://beckypalmer.thecomputerguy.bz/2017/01/give-peace-a-chance-online/ Excellent advise, right? Too bad I didn’t follow it. In spite of my best intentions I did indeed insert myself… Read more »
If you are anything like me you are sick to death of anything and everything political. Seems like you can’t log in to any social media site without witnessing- if not actually getting into- an all out brawl. Even the simplest, most innocent observation can turn ugly in the blink of an eye. Why are we doing this to ourselves?… Read more »
My intent for today’s post was to write about the women’s marches that took place last weekend and the bizarre backlash against them from women. And I’m not referring to the backlash against hate speech, vandalism or littering – those are all valid points. I’m referring to women who genuinely don’t see why anybody was marching at all because they… Read more »
Normally I spend a lot of time trying to come up with a clever/ punny/ funny title for my Monday posts. But I’ve decided that this topic too important to get cute. So, without further ado: #1 PP isn’t the only place that performs abortions, so defunding it to stop abortions is a false pretense right out of the gate…. Read more »
Don’t worry, this isn’t going to be a post about that Disney movie that took over the entire planet! Quite the opposite. This is about a conversation I had with my therapist right before Christmas. Yes, I’m currently seeing a therapist. That, along with a medication chance, it what’s helping me improve my mental health, which I’m happy to report… Read more »
3 years ago I wrote that the “War on Christmas” was a load of crap. Guess what? I was right then and I’m right now. And here’s why: Christmas is everywhere. There used to be 3 TV specials for Christmas- Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer, Frosty the Snowman, and Charlie Brown Christmas. I lost count how many there were right… Read more »
I’ve been seeing and reading a lot of misinformation lately on two medical conditions that are near and dear to me. These conditions are Diabetes and Depression. Since I have been diagnosed with both of these a decade or longer ago I have had plenty of time to educate myself on how to manage them and so I want to… Read more »
I’ve written several times before about my own personal struggles with depression and anxiety and tried to shed insight into some of the myths about these diseases that are still alive and kicking. One of the worst offenders, in my opinion, is the “Just change your situation/ get rid of whatever’s upsetting you and you’ll be just fine”. In many… Read more »
