Here’s a word for today: Grace. Don’t think the world gets it. Do we? There’s a three year old in my life. His world, today’s world, moves so fast. Expected to know so much only three years into this craziness called life. And I… Continue Reading “I’m With Him…”

I really just want a quick fix. Snap of the fingers back to normal. You know…how it was just a month or so ago. We Americans can now see just how dear freedom is. For this small taste of restraint, of lack, of uncertainty… Continue Reading “These Times…”
