I’ve been a bit short with my hubby lately. I haven’t been as tender. My last chick is leaving and I’ve been a little “stretched.” That’s no excuse, I’ve got to pull it together. We were on a plane flight toward what would be our son’s new home…away…far away, at college. My thoughts raced back […]
Mommy, please slow down. My little legs can’t keep up with you. I know I’m little now, but one day I will be a grown man with my own family. Please don’t drag me around at your pace. One day I too will be leading my family, and if I am being dragged around by […]
Fear had its clutches on me. I tried to deny it. I tried to ignore it. I tried to twist it, reshape it, negotiate with it…but it wasn’t working. I was captured by fear.

What are you certain of in life? What do you know for sure? I suppose we would all have differing answers to those questions. How I wish I could sit down with you and hear what you think. My message is short today. And it may be just what you need to hear. You are […]
A picture tells a thousand words…the above is a picture of the bathroom my kids used while growing up. It also doubled as my guest bathroom. It has clearly suffered its wear and tear. The chip in the tank lid was from my youngest son. When he was a kid, he would hold his breath […]
