A 16-Step Religious Guide To Sabotaging Your Life ~ by Jim Palmer

~ Alexa Myers ~ Leave a comment

I read this tonight on FaceBook and thought I would repost it, since I like the way Jim Palmer succinctly stated how religion screws up people’s lives. I can relate to every one of these, but am glad that I don’t live under any of them any more, thanks to God’s grace and peace to All mankind.

Enjoy!  Alexa

A 16-Step Religious Guide To Sabotaging Your Life:

1. Begin with the premise that there is something hopelessly and incurably wrong with you.
2. Believe that your humanity is your problem, an obstacle to overcome, and an evil to repress or eradicate.
3. Pin your hopes on the afterlife, and don’t get too attached to the herelife. Continue reading →

A List of Obama’s Constitutional Violations

~ Alexa Myers ~ Leave a comment

I am ashamed to call this man President of America. We must all band together and fight his unconstitutional “laws” at the state level, insisting that our states follow their state constitutions. America is the land of the Free, not the land of any dictator/communist regime.

Hell ~ Real or Imagined?

~ Alexa Myers ~ 5 Comments

I just finished reading a book by Jon Sweeney called “Inventing Hell”. It’s a great book on the history of how the modern idea of hell was started. I like that he states the Scriptures (Torah) in the Bible are the history of the Jewish people, not all people. It’s important to remember that people then were just like people today – nothing is new and they weren’t somehow different from us.

For centuries before and after Jesus, hell has been this imagined place of justice. For the pagans – which is everyone not a Hebrew (Jew) – hell grew out of their mythologies (which I think came from their ancestors – Noah’s kids and grandkids – living for several centuries, outliving their grandkids!). To me, hell is a very human concept – not God-like in any way. It also negates what Jesus said He would do -and did- for All humans: take their judgement, make peace with God, redeem them and make a place for them at the right hand of God. If hell was so important and true, why didn’t God tell Adam and Eve or anyone else about it? For Jews, after death, their bodies and souls just went to Sheol, the grave. To them they were just there, waiting for the prophecies of resurrection to be fulfilled. There was no place of torment, torture, or brimstone and fire. Continue reading →

Lady Elizabeth: Everything Will Change Book One, by P.O. Dixon – A Review

I have always enjoyed Jane Austen’s books and more recently the spin-offs too. I look forward to reading this one!

Lady Elizabeth by PO Dixon x 200From the desk of Kimberly Denny-Ryder:

What would you do if you realized your entire childhood was a farce? Of course we occasionally hear of stories of children who are mistakenly switched at birth, or whose families raise them in oppressive cults or religions that distort their very realities. It would be quite a lot to take in once the truth was uncovered, and that is precisely the focal point of P.O. Dixon’s latest offering, Lady Elizabeth: Everything Will Change, the first of two works.

Over a decade ago, the Duke of Dunsmore experienced a great tragedy in his life: his only son and granddaughter died in a horrific carriage accident, with only his daughter-in-law and his grandson surviving. Wrecked with guilt, he is desperate to bring happiness back into his family’s life. While visiting Lambton he notices a young and pretty girl, kidnaps her and raises her as…

Welcome to my new, and first, blog!

Who am I?

That’s a pretty loaded question, but I mean it more in a let’s get to know each other way. I’ve been keeping a private journal since I was around eleven or so, back when computers were huge cumbersome mysterious things that the adults used. So I’ve always written on paper. Privately. I’m a little nervous about posting my thoughts out in the wide world for anyone to read, but am willing to brave it with the hope that even just one thing I say might be helpful or useful to you. I have a wonderful devoted husband of twenty-one years, who takes fabulous care of me and our four fantastic kids.  He diligently works so I can stay home with our kids, home educating them and providing a nourishing atmosphere for them to explore who God made them to be. He has also been encouraging me for awhile to try my hand at blogging, so here I am.

My intention is to share my thoughts and findings on various topics. Like relationships, raising kids, personal growth, religion, books I enjoy, money, maybe even some political views. I will strive to be thoughtful, considerate and encouraging in my writings, since we all need that. I’m sure there will be times when you disagree with me – expect to! – but maybe what I say will cause you to ask questions, think or research for yourself, and expand your point of view. I believe that we all have the Divine in us, that we’re perfect beings, here to enjoy what life/God has to offer. There is no angry god, only love through grace and peace given freely because of God’s sacrifice for all. See, you may already be disagreeing with me! That’s okay! Hopefully you’ll keep checking back here and reading my crazy writings. 🙂

Thanks for your time so far! On my end of it, it’s taken me roughly an hour to just write this, what with three of my kids intermittently sitting down beside me to show me something on Pinterest or talk about what’s on their mind. Life! It’s a journey made of moments, right?!
