Have you ever had a heart broken? That pain is ours to process individually. Brute force ripped my heart out , clogged danced on it in the mud, then gave back. My baptism was fresh. My zeal for God was on fire. I weaponized the Bible. It became saturated with blood and sweat. My feebleContinue reading “Broken Hearted”

Temporary Freedom
100 words One pleasant fall evening, I decided to build a spice rack. After gathering my supplies, I hooked up my dog then got busy. Unbeknownst to me, a humanless dog went strolling by. With the strength of a Shetland Pony, my 10 pound chihuahua broke his lead. Fat girl; armed with a cellphone flashContinue reading “Temporary Freedom”
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”
Flying Objects 100 words
Do you have a “side hustle”? I’m painting a 60’ X 12’ deck. My surroundings are tranquil. Once this scene was interrupted when a mixed herd ran down the hill toward a pond. I’m on a ladder; paint brush and can in either hand. Imagine my horror as thoughts of these critters racing through myContinue reading “Flying Objects 100 words”
Broken Little Light
The last time I got my tires changed, I think the garage broke one of my tire sensors. It worked before. Not after. Now when your tire is flat, that little light goes insane. Right? None stop flashing? No worries. The last little bit I’ve noticed when I put my foot on the break, myContinue reading “Broken Little Light”
The Legend of Dan Gut
The Legend of Dan Gut My dad and I went to the family cemetery one Saturday afternoon to look around and just remember. Dad was always talking about the good ole days. About the way things used to be. He told me stories about walking from Elkcorn to Hyden and back. Hoeing in the gardenContinue reading “The Legend of Dan Gut”
Getting to know
Dating is difficult at any age. It is especially difficult for me because I’m an introvert. The older we get, we know a potential partner comes with baggage: children, debt, ex’s, for starters. We hold our breath with anxious dread waiting for the crazy to drop. I let someone get in my head and convinceContinue reading “Getting to know”
NO PETS
As I’m sitting waiting to go into the dentist, I notice a sign on the door that I’ve not seen before. In big black letters it reads NO PETS. That got me to wondering; with as much drama as is going on in our world, how long before my dentist gets in trouble for hisContinue reading “NO PETS”
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”
