Amongst the Trees
Tonight there is much on my mind. And I am trying to silence all the worries and "what if's". I am finding my mind to be cluttered. Like a garage that has seen too many good years and too few yard sales. I am trying to focus on an image I have midst the mess. [...]
Today, Tomorrow and the Next Day
My family's circumstance caved in a little more today. Our stability shook a bit again. But God is good. Still good. Today, tomorrow and every day thereafter. I do not have an entire blog to write about this, but I have the burning need to profess God's provision midst the depths of need. Tragedy, trauma [...]
Title
Today I am tired and I am in pain, but I am determined to write. I am determined to create something good. I am determined to be the king of my mood. So here is my first attempt at poetry in years: I am crushed, but I am not dust I am tossed aside but [...]

I’m Just a Dreamer
My life lesson speed has been set to overdrive for the last seven months. I have had more self-revelations than an infant who just discovered that they have hands. Have you seen a baby figure out that they have hands, and that hands grab things and that a whole new level of shenanigans has been [...]
I missed the boat
If my goal was to get as many likes, views and followers as possible, then I really missed the boat this past weekend. In my head I planned to write a post for Good Friday about letting things go that are hurting you and holding you back, then on Easter I planned to share a [...]
No Words
I have no profound thoughts today. I guess it is a bit pretentious to assume I ever have "profound" thoughts, but I am sitting in front of my laptop frustrated that nothing worthwhile is coming to life on my screen. I am searching for inspiration everywhere around me to get a tiny spark for something [...]
