Photo from Jayson Hinrichson @Unsplash Standing in remembrance of you today, A woman of such great strength and worth. You lifted the veil of shame and showed me your scars. Now, I know that I can survive anywhere on this Earth. You taught me outer beauty shouldn't be my goal, But making my opinions known... Continue Reading →
I didn't attend my 50th high school reunion! My oldest daughter is upset and ashamed that I chose not to go, even after she offered to drive me and attend it with me. I couldn't get her to understand that it just wasn't important to me to be in the middle of a group of... Continue Reading →

I am married to a great lady and we own a house and have a plan to retire with enough money, having mostly recovered from a devastating... Continue Reading →
I came home to find my wife curled up, having done nothing all day. Instead of giving in to anger, I asked. (It is so hard for one like me to hear that a healthy looking person has a physical problem.) She had another massive headache. We had been to the doctors, with each specialty... Continue Reading →
The church was spiraling downhill. It was agonizing to watch at business meetings. People would come reliably every Sunday but there were other people that they hadn’t spoken to in 20 years also attending faithfully. There was a lady who had served as senior minister and started some healing, but they would not hire her... Continue Reading →
