I’m thankful for so much. I thought I’d try putting it into verse. From the birth of Jesus, my lord and savior. To the heater at my feet, giving me its favor. Coffee in my cup, tasty and warm. The sun shinning outside my window, nature it will adorn. Though it doesn’t have a lotContinue reading “Thankful”

The Gift of Hope
Our pray group does “Monday School” lessons instead of Sunday School. When I was asked to write these, I had to do a tall lot of praying. 1. Because I’m still young in the faith. My knowledge base isn’t very deep. 2. I don’t want to say the wrong things to actually kill someone curiosityContinue reading “The Gift of Hope”
I won’t. You want.
I want to beat you about the face and eyes. But, I won’t. I want to pound you until my arms ache. But, I won’t. That greasy spot on the pavement; that was you. But, I won’t. I want you to feel and know the pain you cause. But, you won’t. You are so wrappedContinue reading “I won’t. You want.”

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? Where were you when the World Trade Center was hit?’ 8-25-2015 was a life changing day for me. I got fired. First time ever. It hurt myContinue reading “You’re Fired”
Excommunicated
Excommunication! Manipulation. Silence. How dare you! You will need me. Silence. I can. You can. Manipulation. Do as I say. Not as I do. Manipulation. Moan. Complain. Be silent! Abandon. Need. 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”
Holy Walls
Must we meet each Sunday? In front of others , we should pray. The man to my left, from our lambs voice is deaf. The woman to my right, has lost her holy sight. They summon him on the Sabbath; but curse him when they bathe in lives sins. Where they never win. I haveContinue reading “Holy Walls”
Honor thy parents
Being a Christian isn’t easy. Trying to find that right balance of honoring God with your life but at the same time not pushing others away from being curious about God or Christianity is delicate. I have no desire to tell you your life is a mess when mine is a different mess. I wouldContinue reading “Honor thy parents”
Churched
My mom and I did go to church with my grandparents. When I was 9; something catastrophic happened in my spiritual life. Out of all the things my selective memory decided to hide from me; I remember that day. The pastor of our church was walking across our porch. “Odd,” I thought for him toContinue reading “Churched”
