Who Are These Christians Anyway?

On May 10, 2022May 10, 2022 By Sandy B.In God, grace, miscellaneous1 Comment

How would you go about making a Christian? If I were God I would look for the best people I could find. They would be the top of their class, the best speakers, the most artistic. They would be kind, courageous, well-respected, and beautiful. They would be good, compassionate, and loving. Words like altruistic and …

I’m Okay, I’m Not Okay

On February 24, 2017 By Sandy B.In God, graceLeave a comment

Back in the day a popular concept was recognizing we were just who we were and that was okay. We were all about being real. The problem with that thinking, at least for me, is that I don't feel okay, in fact most of the time I feel not okay. I am my toughest critic, …

I spent hundreds of dollars and countless hours a few years back, trying to follow the trend of becoming a professional blogger (read - getting paid.) I attempted a couple of classes and found a blog hosting company and opened my blog In Awe of Him as well as a second blog Sandra F. Blackburn. …

Tripped Up

On September 15, 2014 By Sandy B.In God, grace, love, poem1 Comment

I get tripped up rushing forward, Or curled up in hesitation. I want to flow upon the waters Or spread my wings in exhilaration! Yet whether I walk, run or fall, Whether I excel or have nothing to show, God never turns away, or scoffs at me, No, He is right here helping me to …

Gracious Love

Being a Firework

On March 12, 2014March 12, 2014 By Sandy B.In challenges, God, grace, miscellaneousLeave a comment

Photo Courtesy of PDPhoto.org I was thinking I needed to get back to writing my blog, with more emphasis on something good or helpful. Taking one of my ideas and running with it. That's when I realized, like the song, I am a firework. I have times when I am excited and I have these …

G is for…

On January 9, 2014January 9, 2014 By Sandy B.In God, grace3 Comments

G – Grace, Good friends, Grass-fed, Ghee, Giving up Grains, Generosity Let’s go backwards. Generosity is a change I’m trying to make friends with. With having our large family, I have been so used to having to pinch pennies, cut coupons, and shop at Goodwill, that I forget sometimes to be generous. Generosity is not …

Hold On – Let the Controversy Begin

On August 1, 2013 By Sandy B.In God, grace, life, loveLeave a comment

In my desire to become a better writer, I am actively seeking out advice from veteran bloggers, and  one suggestion was to purposely write something that will stir-up-trouble, so to speak. With the intent of learning to write without seeking approval, but writing from my passion. So here is my warning: These are my true …

Tattooed for Life

On September 1, 2011 By Sandy B.In graceLeave a comment

On my recent trip to Hawaii to see my daughter get married, my family took a little side trip to get tattoo's. As I watched three of my children subject themselves to the painful pen of the tattoo artist, I contemplated again what I might want permanently etched on my skin. I had thought many times about …
