During this time of uncertainty, it is easy to let our fear rule our decisions. We fear losing our jobs, running out of food, getting sick, and boredom. Valid fears. I’ll admit that every cough makes me nervous.  I am worried I will run out of food to feed my family and since my hours … Continue reading Fear & Faith

I keep harping on mercy and forgiveness; I am struggling with these myself. Day after day, I face let down of people not meeting my expectations. Perhaps I set the bar too high. LORD, help me to not be as Jonah, not understanding why we all can see YOUR mercy regardless of what wrongs we … Continue reading Mercy and Forgiveness

Who am I kidding? We only want good for us. We don't want anything bad. For me on my own part, when I examine myself, I only see bad. How, then, do I justify only wanting good?

Some rocks develop holes in them over time. These holes form because of weak spots in the rocks. The water finds these areas and relentlessly beats against … Continue reading Rocks

So, I was talking to my friend the other day and she said to be careful going home. I rolled my eyes. She called me "Dorothy"... I don't know about you, but when I hear "Dorothy", I think "Golden Girls" so I'm like "say what??"  She's like "you know from the movie 'The Wizard of … Continue reading Another POV…

Today I am struggling...for no reason.  I woke up fine, got my daily motivation, and just want to cry.  Every day is not a good day. I am doing the best I can to just get through this day. I am putting everything I have into my work and my self, trying to pick up … Continue reading Struggle

Shakespeare said "What is in a name?..." and with that he poses a rather deep philosophical question but he just skimmed the surface.  (As I will do here.) When we name our children, we often put much thought into the feelings evoked by the name, the meaning of the name, possible nicknames and associations, etc.  … Continue reading Name?
