Constantly Pleasant
Saturday, April 14, 2012
“Constantly Pleasant.” That’s how she was described. Not a person attending the memorial service would have disagreed.

When starting over seems impossible
Friday, February 3, 2012
Occasionally, I find the need to start over. More accurately, I have to start over almost every day. Things I wanted to change yesterday slipped a bit. And I feel like I’m back at yesterday again. Starting over. And feeling a little frustrated with that. As I walk through life, I’m learning that God gives [...]
