Thoughts on a 2020 Independence Day, Part 2
On July 1, I posted my thoughts about the state of things as we were about to go into this year’s Fourth of July weekend. Now, a week after the Fourth, I thought I would take time reflect back on our Independence Day. In a sense, there really isn’t much to reflect back on. Afterall, […]

God’s credit card
It’s something we’ve all done at least once––get into credit card trouble. We rack up our limit either on odds or ends, perhaps necessities, and then we wonder how in the world we’re going to pay it off. The time comes, and we finally do pay it off––perhaps we’re able to pay it off with […]

Letting go
My mind was numb Constant rejection made me succumb To a distraction that disturbed my emotions I didn’t have any wrong intentions I know you can hold on strong Even though we don’t talk for long You give melody to my heart’s song This warm feeling, I want to prolong Tantalizing pains, my reward For […]
