My heart has been broken,My heart has been filled with joy. My heart has been played with,As if it were a toy. My life has been shaken by grief and strained,My feelings discarded as if they were spare change. I’ve lain my head in sorrow,I’ve lain my head in pain. I’ve felt like I wasContinue reading “Tears”

Fighting for Us
The past two weeks, I’ve had to watch my children walk through a very familiar place. They have been in situations where they’ve had to choose their responses and choose their battles. Have you been there? I have many times. Each time, I’ve learned something new about myself and have had to decide whether toContinue reading “Fighting for Us”

Our oldest son is taking classes and has been training our youngest along with a few of his friendsContinue reading “Count Up the Cost”

Love is God, Love is free, Love is all He hopes for us to be. Love is patient, Love is kind, Love is yours and it is mine. Love is flawed, But it won’t fail, If it is rooted where the Spirit dwells. Love can hurt, Because it makes us feel, Yet, in the midstContinue reading “Love is…”

Greatness is defined as being above the norm or average, extraordinary, exceptional, significant. The world has its view of greatness. It usually correlates with worldly gain, status, or success.
