Three different people.

Three different hopes and dreams.

What’s the common thread in every Family?

Praying we figure it out. Every last one of us.

Patience and creativity are spiritual gifts

Steve Jobs unveiling iPhone in 2007
There are multiple breakthroughs in a first-time parent’s journey. Photo: screen capture of Steve Jobs unveiling the first iPhone in 2007.

 

Dear Lord, thank you for patience and creativity.

It sometimes takes several hours to get things back on track when our peaceful center has been turned upside down.

There is an art to parenting.

I’m in art school, and it feels like freshman year. Awkward sometimes.

Praying nothing bad happens in America today

Track Shack 2015 Watermelon 5k
There will be 3,000 patriotic participants plus spectators.

 

Praying nothing bad happens in America today.

Would be lying if i said the thought of someone doing something harmful at this morning’s Watermelon 5k isn’t in the back of my mind.

This is exactly what the terrorist hope for – fear.

i am a wretch

Nature trail
From a Florida Zoo, mercy and kindness extended to a tree.

 

i am a wretch.

Even though i thought i was ‘good’.

So on April Fool’s Day 2009 i began the day on my knees, saying three special prayers.

  1. The Lord’s Prayer
  2. Hail Mary
  3. A special prayer i created as an extension of “saying Grace”

This is, coincidently, the same day i began the 100-day writer’s bootcamp.

Same result too.

Haven’t missed a single day.

Ever.

This train of thought continues with “i felt i deserved a raise at work” at the next Blog
