Shouldn’t have opened my mouth. Shouldn’t have said a word. Should have kept it bottled inside the way I always do. I didn’t want a lecture. I didn’t want a speech. I wanted someone to listen to me. Someone to vent to. Someone to let the pressure out to. Someone to just listen to me.Continue reading “Stop the Clatter”

Your Disability
This was written almost a month apart. Our prayer group does Thankful Thursday’s; this was 2 of mine. “Your Disability” I’ve never considered myself disabled. Yeah, those doctor reports come. But I do. And keep on doing. It must be done. About 10 years ago or so, I was diagnosed with tinnitus (ringing in theContinue reading “Your Disability”
You’re Fired
August 25th, 2015; where were you? This isn’t as thought provoking as asking ‘where we’re you when the Challenger exploded? Or where we you when JFK was shot?

Manipulation. There is a built in need in every child to have a relationship or bond with our birth parents. This need is deepContinue reading “Excommunicated”

An Emotion
For ever little teddy bear lovable, cuddly, and soft. There is an evil force hard, cold, and deadly. Deadlier than the greatest plague for it becomes a plague. More powerful than a volcano, for it will erupt. Prisoner of the dark, bound by fire, loathing in ashes, black as coal. No force on earth canContinue reading “An Emotion”
90, 30
Fall is an amazing time. The world is slowing from its summer grind. Leaves are changing color. We are driven inside. The heat from the sun is duller. I have this memory. Is it true? There used to be a transition between seasons. Who knew? Saturday, it rained. But was 85 in the shade. MondayContinue reading “90, 30”
