 Margaret Atwood said in her Master Class…..”to become a better writer, you must write more.”  Another quote attributed to this great Canadian author is   “Nobody knows where ideas come from, but let us say, if you immerse yourself in something, whether it be music, painting, or writing…you are going to get ideas about it. But you have to do the immersing first. You're not just sitting there, waiting for lightning to strike.” I have one of those school year memory books with the pockets for each grade, to keep your memorabilia in.  It has the typical questions for school aged kids, who are your best friends… what is your favourite subject… and of course, what do you want to be when you grow up? In the grade school section of this book, there’s a variety of tick boxes with the typical teacher, doctor, policeman, artist, writer among many others… and in my typical grade school mindset I selected an awful lot of these boxes     Writer Vet Singer “Writer” begin...

Organized Christianity is not God’s intention…A quote from Russel Brand: “Institutionalized religion is a sort of panacea to prevent us from becoming the radical revolutionists our Lord wants us to be” I heard this recently and it was so succinctly stated that I had to write it down and ponder on it a bit. Lets consider just the subservient role many religious institutions place on women For this case, I’ll use one single verse that seemingly makes women of lesser value. “Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience, as also saith the law.” (1Co 14:34) Translation plays such a major role in the perception of God’s Word… Strongs lists “women” in this verse as  G1135    ( Strong ) γυνή gunē goo-nay' Probably from the base of G1096 ; a woman ; specifically a wife: - wife, woman. This definition will cause me to check the root word, and see if there is a possibility that the i...

How does one START a blog…… literally. What should be the very first inaugural post?  That can be a very intimidating question, considered first impressions are important.   Some would say, an introduction to the author. Others may say a sort of synopsis on what the content will be. lol if you can’t tell yet, I’m a bit of an over-thinker.  I’m a very literal person… and I have to remind myself to not get stuck in the details , which is exactly what I’ve done over the last three weeks   since I decided to listen to what GOD is telling me, and……. DO THE BLOG, LISA    Yes, Lord. I will. Thank YOU for having patience with me while I worked through the fleshly concerns… the worry, the anxiety…  So, putting aside the flesh to rest fully in the Spirit… what does GOD want…. “But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added to you.” ( Mat 6:33 ) When I go in seek of the kingdom of GOD, I’m grateful HE gave me eyes to ...
