#DoItForJack
I recently was given three rocks. They were painted and had the hashtag #doitforJack. My friend told me a little of his story. She found a rock while in New Hampshire. She now has relocated it to Alabama and painted three (that I know of) rocks that I now have. Jack was twelve years old…
Panic Attack
Years ago, I had an event happen that left me scared, both emotionally and physically. The event severed friendships and bruised my relationship with my spouse. It also left me without a safe feeling at church. I had a community within my church, but when relationships within the group soured, I was left with deep…
Mother’s Day
Mother’s Day It is that time again, the time to honor our Mothers. It is a challenging day for some of us. It is a reminder that our Mothers are not with us. It is a deeply sad day. I have never really enjoyed Mother’s Day. I love the idea of celebrating mothers; however, at…
Apology
I am thinking about apologies today. I have been wondering why apologize. Because our parents forced us to say we were sorry even though we were not? We were taught to apologize when were caught doing something our parental unit decided was wrong. I googled apology. I found an interesting list of things pertaining to…

Too Focused on My Pain
I wake up with pain in my hips and back. I have tried not to complain but have failed miserably. I have iced, rubbed stinky heating gel on, and taken over the counter meds. I cannot walk because of the issue with my knee. There is so much more that I could write, but I…
Good Friday
When you look at all the events of Good Friday, how can you say it was good? It was horrible for one, but good for many. I never really thought much about Good Friday growing up or all the events that lead to the cross. By now, as a child, I would have had my…
Throw Back Memory
Ever have a memory pop up in your head that you just could not stop thinking about? I did this morning and it was strange. I had a song that I tried to write in my teenage years. I had a few lines, but just could not finish it. I gave up writing because of…
Praying Through The Fear
Lord, I seek your guidance during this time of uncertainty. Calm the fears that we may feel. Protect us from this devasting virus. Teach us to pray Abba Father. Teach us to seek you. Teach us to change our new norm into something that would bring you to others… As I sit in my robe…
