Worry
None of us are immune to stress or worry. We all suffer, maybe in different ways, and we all feel the effects of external forces.

Apples and Doors
“Eat the damn apple” Technically, it wasn’t said exactly that way, but the tone…wow! I heard words that weren’t intended…or said. But it got my attention… Isn’t that what we all need sometimes?

Somewhere out there, someone is searching for you; you have the message they need to hear. Your light helps guide them… You feed each other … Continue reading Be
Endure
Light weight in quick repetition increases endurance. Maybe that’s why the Children of Grace are subject to opposition… Usually it’s the little happenings that chip away at their resolve. Not the big things. When something monumental happens, we are surrounded by people who love and care for us. We have a support system that builds … Continue reading Endure
Just Listen
I had a friend send me a video to watch and listen and then relate my thoughts and feelings about it. I started on a blank page to compose my reply… The page remains blank to this day.
