Do you remember the last time you felt like your heart was splitting? There is such a paralyzing heaviness you almost feel like you can’t breathe, and if you somehow manage to draw a breath, it is saturated with your tears. It feels like you’re drowning. How do you get out of that? Do youContinue reading “Water Of Life”

WHAT A PAIN IN THE BACK!

I Noticed…
Parents are resilient people. Most of us like to think we did a decent job of raising our children, but for those not quite sure about that, we crave a little confirmation now and then. I’ve heard many stories from parents who were surprised at how badly they misread their children’s earlier signals that wereContinue reading “I Noticed…”
What If…
A friend asked if all the frills of Christmas, including the gifts, decorations, trees, and food, were taken away, would we still be celebrating? I love giving and receiving gifts and all the glitter of the season, but I also love the SPIRIT of Christmas that prevails during December. No matter what words someone greetsContinue reading “What If…”

October 14, 2020 Today we finally closed on our new house! I’ve waited until this day to write about the last three months progress because I wanted the deal to be sealed with no chance of unforeseen problems.

MORNING PRAYER
Lately I’ve been having trouble sleeping. For the last two weeks I’ve been waking up around 3:30 AM and having to get out of bed to go to the restroom. I try not to because I know I’ll not go back to sleep, especially since the alarm is set for 4:05 anyway. So I’d lieContinue reading “MORNING PRAYER”
IT HURTS
We should always take our pain to the Lord. Have you ever seen a person who had so much pain in their heart that they were grasping for whatever help they could find and they said some things they shouldn’t have? They just wanted the pain to stop. More than likely, the people whoContinue reading “IT HURTS”
