Estimated read time:  25 minutes Shattered Part 1 “Well, you could just go to one of those runaway shelters for teens,” she offers neutrally, as if just making a simple weather observation on a beautiful day. “What!?” I practically scream. “Another shelter? Mom, are you serious!? What the hell’s wrong with you?” I can’t calm […]

Do you think there is any such thing as, “the greater the loss, the greater the blessing?” Sounds kind of crazy, right? Yet, the older I get and the more life I live, the more I think it could be true. Like many, I have lost much in this life… and many times over, at […]

While re-reading some of the poems I’ve posted and working on new pieces, something unsettling occurred to me that I’ve been praying about. As writers, we write what we know. I have a journalistic style and am best with facts and truth. I love to read ‘creative writing’ and fictional pieces, but find it very […]

It never ceases to amaze me how sin will make itself known the instant we are in need. After all, isn’t that when we are at our weakest? Satan will try to tempt us by offering opportunities to comfort our emotional, physical and sexual needs outside of God. If we have provisional needs he may try to provide […]

So, I began to write about this in a journal, but decided to share it with the world instead (I am so laughing and shaking my head right now.) I help others realize their ability to overcome their fears and how to “feel the fear and do it anyway” yet, here I sit confronted with […]

The topic of faith has come up to me so many times this past week, I feel it deserves a few words. Most often I am asked, or the thoughts pondered around are, “How could you still have faith after all you’ve been through?” Let me tell you, there was a time when I was […]
