We all need God
He didn’t judge me for not knowing. He sat beside me so I would learn. Each step explaining to me, so I would understand. It is always a unique bonding experience when my husband and I work on our vehicles together. Although I’m not sure that I will ever be able to do the work…

Just as we are
Her name was Katie. She had down syndrome and she was a dear friend of mine in early elementary. We always played together at the park at recess. We’d swing on the swing set together. However, one day she just wasn’t there. From my understanding, she was taken to a different school to better accommodate…

Entitlement
We live in an entitled world. Recently at work we had a client that came in frustrated at us, because he wasn’t given a coupon. Though coupons are nice, we aren’t owed them. They are a blessing when we get them. There are also many people in our society who don’t want to work as…

Be like Christ
Must we be so quick to judge So quick to assume and hold a grudge Why do we think we are better When we know not the things they weather Why do we criticize and be unkind Or choose to give a piece of our mind Why do we categorize what people matter more When…

Perspective
Recently, as many of you have probably heard, there was a flash flood in Texas where many people passed away and others are still missing. What makes it worse, is that most are children. I can’t even fathom what their loved ones are going through, nor do I want to. I send my condolences for…

His loving arms
I watched a viral video of a father lovingly stopping in his tracks while leaving for work, as his adoring children cried out that they just wanted one more hug. The father bent down joyfully, embracing his two small children in his arms. It was a sweet video to watch and it got me thinking.…
