Hard Pressed But Not Forsaken; Frayed But Not Forgotten
Some days my soul feels it can’t stand seeing any more suffering. Sickness. Sadness. Sorrow. Selfishness. Sleepless nights. Suspicions. Surmising. My prayer list is full right now of friends and dear people carrying burdens caused by hurts from this list. That’s a lot of words beginning with s. BUT there’s another word. SOMEDAY. Someday soon.

Shine Light
I gaze upon the manger, I gaze upon the tree, I gaze upon the twinkle lights, they sparkle shine at me, I notice the sweet shadow of the star upon the wall, The light and glitter fuse and gleam and make the stardust fall, Clear glass bulbs reflect and glow and beauty they proclaim, Gold […]

BECAUSE, Haiti
Last week, one evening I was hurting and aching and I wanted to accomplish several more things and it SIMPLY was not going to happen.
