When we lay aside the things we think and focus on the things that the Lord says, we can find comfort. Daily we face trials and temptations and we often think we are alone in all this. But we are not. Even if you don’t know my struggle and I don’t know your story, the … Continue reading Surety

Blinking Cursors
Do you ever want to type a message to someone but you sit there and stare at the blinking cursor, not knowing what to say? Like you have something on your mind, but you can’t get it to meet your fingers or you can’t even form the words? You just sit there and stare, willing … Continue reading Blinking Cursors
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
Just Thoughts
Rarely do we ever have it easy… especially on multiple fronts… usually, life hits us from several sides at once. All the negativity-all we do is complain to each other and about each other. I mean sometimes, we need to vent, you know, let out a little steam. Sometimes we need to share a little … Continue reading Just Thoughts

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
Strings
My feet planted firmly on the ground Slip and slide beneath meAs my arms stretched out wideTwisted and pulled violently Eyes dart back and forth Taking stock of everything Hearing voices sounding wordsBut not fully comprehending Rooted in place, still as can beTrying to go unnoticed But here I am on display The puppet center, … Continue reading Strings
Thought for the Day
Every now and then, I have a “thought for the day” that I write and share with a few close friends. Today the thought was from Colossians. I want to share what I wrote for today, but first tell a little story. Like other parents out there, I try so hard to keep up with … Continue reading Thought for the Day
