It’s Here! Finally, after years of writing and revision, it’s here. For those of you who don’t know, I was hit by a drunk driver five years ago. The brain injury I sustained left me unable to work, but I’ve explained all that throughout this blog. During my recovery, I began writing a book about... Continue Reading →
Good Morning I woke up out of my sleep with a pounding headache. And, as I sometimes do, I waited. The hope is always that it goes away, despite that never, ever happening. Finally, resigning myself to the inevitable, I got up, let the dog out, fed him and the cats, put on a large... Continue Reading →

Train Up A Child I was very sick yesterday, so I apologize for missing the day. I'm back now - a little worse for the wear, but ok. When I was 16 years old, I went on a mission trip to Jamaica with a team of teenagers and four adults. We stayed at a college... Continue Reading →

Breath Of Life Yesterday almost all the trees looked dead - just naked branches. A few had the faintest blush of green tips on them - fewer still had the signature spring green color of mature buds.

Whether it is a rejection from someone we care about, a failure at something we wish we had succeeded with, or some devastating occurrence, we know what it is to be crushed. Mom did too. One of the things she often said about the Lord was that... Continue Reading →
