Really, God? I have to love not-so-nice people?

June 28, 2020 by Kelly Irvin 8 Comments

Jonah 1:17

Sometimes life lessons take time to learn.  We often have to learn them the hard way. My favorite oncology medical assistant for the past five years had to leave because her husband is in the military and he’s been transferred. She was a sweet, extraordinarily kind, knowledgeable health care professional who jumped through hoops to…  Read More

Reconciliation requires stubbornness–I mean perseverance

December 9, 2018 by Kelly Irvin 6 Comments

As the year winds down, it’s naturally a time of retrospection. At the beginning of the year I chose as “my” word reconciliation. I vowed to reconcile myself to my limited mobility and the changes in my body caused by chronic illness. With only a few weeks left in 2018, I decided to see how…  Read More

Reconciliation is what the world needs now

February 22, 2018 by Kelly Irvin 6 Comments

Marigolds & Reconciliation definition

I’ve never been one to choose a word for the year. I love words so picking one would be a huge chore. Recently, however, I had an epiphany during a Sunday school class discussion of the word “reconciliation.” This is my word. Not only for 2018 but for my life. I need reconciliation. I need…  Read More

Mandisa’s new single ‘Unfinished’ touches deep chord

April 28, 2017 by Kelly Irvin 11 Comments

Proverbs 3:5

Earlier this week, I broke my ironclad rule of no TV (other than news) during the day in order to watch Christian artist Mandisa be interviewed by Robin Roberts on Good Morning America. Mandisa’s song “Overcomer” served as an anthem for me after I received my diagnosis of ovarian cancer in January 2016. The song’s…  Read More
