Faith...* Understanding it
* Developing it
* Exercising it
* Cultivating it in others
When it comes to faith, this is one of the best books I’ve ever read and if there’s anything the vast population of Christendom should invest in, increasing faith is right up there in the top tier of options. 
Author, Dr. John Hobson & BanditThe Oxford English Dictionary defines "faith" as strong belief or trust in someone or something, often without needing proof. It can also refer t...

Glossolalia: Impossibly occurring?

 

What is glossolalia?In my own words, glossolalia is both a spiritual and physical event in which a person begins to speak in a language they don’t know or speak on their own. Those who hear them, may or may not understand the language they’re speaking in. The event can occur any time but often it happens during praise and worship of God, and from those who have been spiritually baptized in the Holy Ghost, meaning when the Spirit of the Lord has entered their body and begins speaking through the...

FarmaCOPEia: Black castor oil for hair loss recovery

Key word: BLACKCold pressed castor oil has been a regularly, relied upon organic preventative medicine for ages, among my own circles. But, black castor oil caught my attention much more recently, specifically when the Rona hit the ground running, and the vaxes chasing it close behind. 
Among the many after-effects was hair loss. Folks I knew personally experienced this, and many within their circles of kith and kin were reporting it as well. Sometimes it develo...

Journaling? Why bother?

 

Image via AS PhillipsWay back when...

It started with a diary, in elementary school, gifted to me on either my birthday, or Christmas. I used it almost daily, at least for a while, then my entries became less frequent. Part of that is because, when I was a kid, our household could be quite turbulent. In Daddy’s defense, he was a U.S. Marine, deployed during a good bit of my early years, to combat zones. 
When he finished his last deployment, he spent six months behind a desk, doing mundane, decom...

Update: Nine months of Ryze Coffee

Before you jump to a conclusionNope, I haven’t given up the daily consumption of one of my two fav beverages, cofffffeeeee! Mmmmm! The other is ginger ale/ginger beer. It's a rare thing for me to go a day without both. Once upon a time I incorporated chaga-java into my coffee habit, and enjoyed it a lot, for reasons I can't remember, I gravitated back to regular coffee and eventually stopped ordering the chaga.

However, after trying Ryze for six weeks, I've decided it's a ke...

Six Weeks of Ryze Coffee

Before you jump to a conclusionNope, I haven’t given up the daily consumption of one of my most favorite beverages, regular leaded coffee. I’m just mixing it with ½ teaspoon of Ryze mushroom coffee and it’s impressed enough to continue with it. 
What interested me in Ryze?After my cancer challenge, I wanted to increase my overall health, especially, my gut-health, as organically as possible. Due to a colon resection with a permanent colostomy, gradually, my digestion ability...

Happily wrapping up another healthy quarter!One check-up left to go, but the quarterly test results are in. Still cancer free,  for one year, six months and holding.
Woohoo! I’m thankful and celebrating!
Reasons for the quarterly scheduleAbout six months after finishing chemotherapy and radiation, a CT scan showed new masses had developed. One on my intestinal wall, the other in my lung. 
I was already getting scanned quarterly to keep an eye on two previously existing masses–one m...

OstomyLife: Calamine lotion--an ostomate essential!

OstomyLife and skin irritation

It’s one of those distressing aspects of ostomy life. Some ostomates never have an issue with it, but lots of us have to deal with it at least occasionally, or far more often than any of us would like.
I’ve been an ostomate for about a year and a half. A long time ago I developed a sensitivity to medical adhesives. Since our stoma pouching systems are kept in place with adhesive, I began experiencing acute skin reaction with breakdown and bleedi...

No shirt, no shoes, no service

You know the scenario... Such and such business refused service to such and such individual, group or organization. The business gets slammed with bad press, slandered on social media and often sued, because they choose to not provide a request for a service that violates their ethics or spiritual standards.
I’ll always love a constitutional republic because it constitutionally guarantees that my rights stop where your rights start, and vice versa.

Personal perspective
This edition of By the Way is a personal one and parts of it fall into two categories on the site, ShoutOuts and a new one, VillageVibe.

I’ve got a fresh cuppa java and I’m writing this at my desk, on the first day of 2024.  First event of the morning was well before dawn. I got Touching Fire’s alfalfa cubes soaking, so her breakfast would be ready by 0800. She’s over 40 and has a specialized diet and feeding schedule to keep her lookin’ like a 20-year-old...
