This morning, I was doing some thinking. I was thinking about something my mom would say to me when I was sick. She would ask me if I would rather go to work and do what I could and get paid for being there, or sit at home, feeling bad, worrying about work and not … Continue reading Take Time

8:17
It’s the time of day I most often see And a day I will never forget When the digital says eight seventeen I pause to catch my breath At the setting of the sun back then Oh, so many long years ago My mother’s life came to an end How I hated to watch her … Continue reading 8:17
Passive
I’m often described as a passive person. I don’t tend to react to things like many people do. I seem to let things just roll off of me and I keep on going. But people who really know me, know that everything has an effect on me. They start to notice the little changes…how I … Continue reading Passive
Possible
What is impossible? Someone sent me a message the other day about how where the impossible begins, that’s where God starts working… I get it. I understand what the person was saying. Whatever we face, God is in control and He makes the impossible possible. The challenges we face mean nothing when God is with … Continue reading Possible
Targets and Mercy
I might be the only person who feels like this, but I feel like I have a target on my back. I feel like people stare daggers through me. But why should they? Really, so much of the time I feel invisible: like I really don’t matter anyway; so why would someone waste their time … Continue reading Targets and Mercy

And that’s the problem: we sit here and put things like the beach, the mountains, the sunrise…all this … Continue reading The Sun

Farther
Farther along…but just how much farther do we have? Every journey has a destination…some trips last longer than others. Some roads are bumpy. Some are smooth. Some roads stretch on straight out before us as far as we can see, while others have hairpin curves, twists and turns leaving us holding on for dear life. … Continue reading Farther
How Often…
How often do we lie to ourselves? When we look into the mirror, do we see ourselves as we are, or do we see our reflection distorted by our imagination? Do we show ourselves any grace? How often do we tell ourselves we’re not good enough? How often do we put ourselves down? How often … Continue reading How Often…
Butterflies
Sometimes I just need to draw a butterfly… When I start to panic and think about drawing some lines, I try to think “butterfly.” Let's try to be positive and spread some cheer instead of hurt and pain. What if we change, not just how we look, but how we see? You know the caterpillar … Continue reading Butterflies
