Continue reading →: The saying I shall practice
I wasn’t trying to be defiant or difficult. I knew the answer and I believe the answer, I just, I don’t know, the cracking dam that wasn’t holding back my tears very well this morning was going to totally give way any moment and I had to answer the way…

I’ll take sprinting any day over long distance running. If I’m running fast and hard I can make myself finish 200 meters. But if I know I have a mile or two or more (that’s long to me), my legs feel like lead from the first stride. Hopefully writing this…

It’s too late and I’m too tired, but after tomorrow I probably will be using all my writing time doing this NaNoWriMo challenge, so I better post now. I listened to this song over and over and over again on the way to work. I blared it loudly and sang…

I’ve been thinking about this today. Do all things without complaining and disputing, that you may become blameless and harmless, children of God without fault in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world… – Philippians 2:14-15 What if I went…

Proud man says, “Where is God? What God? There is no God!“ Humble man says, “What is man that You, O God, are mindful of him? And the children of men that you visit them?“ We are so proud. We think we’re so big and smart and the center of…

It’s been a full four days. Thursday morning started in AZ at 3am and ended in OR at 11pm. Friday I decorated a reception hall with friends of my mom’s for her wedding reception and drove with my sister and her family to visit my dad an hour away. By…

I decided to post in the middle of the day today since I’ll be gone this evening and beginning tomorrow morning I’ll be out of town for the weekend. Back to work on Monday morning. It’s part of the story. It’s where He has me. It’s part of my stewardship.…

I was at a county courthouse today. Not a place I usually spend any time. In fact, except for filing for a legal separation almost exactly two years ago today, I’m never there. Today I was there to file a motion to vacate the order of legal separation. In that…
