Playing catch up
Will someone remind me never to sign up for a 30 day meme again? It makes me feel completely inadequate when I miss a day and have to play catch-up. Maybe it’s good for the recovering perfectionist in me. Day 9: Something that makes my life easier There are many things but I want to…
Being sick is not fun but I choose joy
I am a positive person. I believe that everything in life happens for a reason and that I can do all things through Him who gives me strength {Romans 8:28, Philippians 4:13}. But, I have to admit there are days and times that being chronically ill brings me down, way down. It probably doesn’t help…

Marriage has been burnt alive by porn addiction and selfish husbands. Marriage has been destroyed by unforgiving wives and a blatant unwillingness by both parties…

My two oldest sons did something not so smart over the weekend. I was disappointed in their behavior.

After making sure everyone was safe,…
