Unwrap the present

Lisa Buffaloe Posted on May 21, 2025 by Lisa BuffaloeMay 21, 2025

Anyone else have a hard time living in the present? Is it just me? Good grief, the past keeps trying to creep into today and future concerns try to keep me wrapped up in the worries of tomorrow. The past and future squeezes me out of today which keeps me … Continue reading →

Mind wash

Lisa Buffaloe Posted on August 21, 2023 by Lisa BuffaloeAugust 21, 2023

The memory pounced, blindsided, and left me reeling. I stood, trying to regain my thoughts. Painful memories can’t be changed, I can’t alter what happened, and at times they leave me heartbroken and heart-sick. Oh, I need a mind wash. I need to forget that terrible thing that happened, that … Continue reading →

Air Rights

Lisa Buffaloe Posted on January 26, 2023 by Lisa BuffaloeJanuary 26, 2023

In urban areas where ground space is limited, air rights are often given as the right to use and develop the space above the earth’s surface. The concept comes from the Latin phrase, Cuius est solum, eius est usque ad coelum et ad inferos meaning “Whoever owns the soil, it … Continue reading →

Flying free

Lisa Buffaloe Posted on July 27, 2020 by Lisa BuffaloeJuly 27, 2020

I don’t know about you, but I’ve found there is a constant gravitational pull to the things of this earth. I catch myself worrying about what’s happening, so I’ll jump online to check social media or grab a few minutes of the news. Unfortunately, the more I am distracted by … Continue reading →

Tracking Thoughts

Lisa Buffaloe Posted on February 23, 2020 by Lisa BuffaloeFebruary 15, 2020

God is teaching me again the beauty of taking every thought captive. Far too long I’ve had the tendency to analyze, wonder, and try to figure out when I hear something or see something and “go there” in my mind. However, I’ve found I don’t have to ponder every story, … Continue reading →

Self Stewing

Lisa Buffaloe Posted on August 3, 2019 by Lisa BuffaloeOctober 18, 2023

I’m pondering how often we refuse to move forward. We get rutted and trapped in the past, clinging to the thing that destroyed the life we wanted or imagined.
There is a time to mourn and weep, but we’ve turned it into a lifestyle, and “poor me” has become an idol. Self is exalted over God. We aren’t hearing His voice nor hearing His call because we are too busy listening to our own complaints and whines. I’ve been there, done that–sat and stewed and mourned. And the longer I stewed in my stew, the stinkier my stew (and me) became. Ugh.

Cut the chains

Lisa Buffaloe Posted on July 1, 2019 by Lisa BuffaloeApril 6, 2021

Out of left field a thought came and blindsided my emotions. Words said by someone in the past replayed in my mind entangling me in a web of anger and hurt. Fortunately, I realized I have a choice. I could think about, whine about, and get mad about what they … Continue reading →
