When I was a kid, I remember lying to my mom about something. I hated when I did something wrong. So, I went back and told her the truth. I felt so guilty. I am still that way today even though I do wrong stuff all the time. When I know I’ve done something wrong,… Continue reading Quenched
Friends
How many friends do you have? I mean true friends? Friends you can call at a moment’s notice? Friends that you know will always be there even at 2 am? I can think of less that 5 people who fit that category for me. Oh, some say they’re my friends. Perhaps they are in their… Continue reading Friends
Scary
It is said fear is a learned behavior and can be overcome. I think most of the time we don’t remember how or why we became fearful of something. It’s the time of year we see more scary things in stores. But one thing I see all year long is a skeleton head. What is… Continue reading Scary
I’m Worn
It’s amazing how being physically sick can make you feel emotionally and sometimes spiritually sick. I haven’t felt well these last couple of days, and sometimes I tend to get down when my body gets out of wack. This song came on the radio yesterday as I was out running an errand. I had never… Continue reading I’m Worn

Not only washing off the germs all the kids give teachers but also washing away the day’s troubles. The… Continue reading Washed
Hill or Valley?
I love the mountains! To be up so high you feel closer to God! But we always have to come back down. There are times when we are on top of the hill, but most of the time we are in the valley. We cannot stay on the mountain. They are only moments. The valley… Continue reading Hill or Valley?
Cope
Alcohol? Drugs? Sex? Mindlessness? Gossip? Food? Shopping? Cleaning? Exercise? Work? How do YOU cope? God?
Desire
What do you think of when you hear the word desire? Most people probably think of it sexually, and it can be used that way. Webster defines it as ‘to long or hope for.’ We long for a lot of things. Money, fame, good health, better friends, a bigger house, etc. We also hope for… Continue reading Desire
Moments
Yesterday, I got to spend a few hours with my great niece who is 9 years old. We were shopping at a marketplace event, and she was intrigued with all the people to see and things to buy. There were a couple of times when she saw something like shell necklaces or velvet scrunchies she… Continue reading Moments
Dust
Change. We all go through it. Bad or good, it can be very hard. Sometimes, I think about what it must have been like in the Eden for Adam and Eve. Before sin entered the world. Everything perfect. No weeds. No stink bugs. No looking down to see you are bleeding. No new bruise found.… Continue reading Dust
