GrittyGod

At GrittyGod.com, I write to the older woman who is adjusting to the unique changes and challenges old age has brought to her. (Altered health, caregiving of spouse or parents, widowhood or late in life divorce–to name a few.)


I help her become aware of the hope she finds in Christ,
as she places her confident assurance in the person and promises of God,
realizing this isn’t the final chapter of her story.

**Although the blog is up, not all of it is fully connected. All the posts from 2025 and earlier are not connected to links or categories. Once they are, they will have new dates on them.
I have one series re-done that will come out weekly. I have some other posts that I will tuck in here and there. I also have a new series I hope to start soon. Probably won’t get it started until after my vacation in August.

    A DAY OF WAITING I’m writing this on Tuesday evening after Ron’s prostate surgery (7/13/10).  I am weary.  I don’t mean I’m tired, I mean I am weary to the bone.   Pretty amazing since I have been sitting and waiting most of the day!  This is the culmination of our summer.  In a way,… Read more

  • HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY DAD II…

    ·

    All in all, my dad’s death was a huge blow to me.  It didn’t help that I lived in Jamaica.  Well, in some ways it did help.  We returned after the funeral and my extended stay in the US (10 days), in time for Christmas. It almost seemed like all that had happened shortly after Thanksgiving… Read more
