Unexpected Storms
I’m laying across the bed with my phone connected to a portable battery charger, looking out the window into pure darkness. It has now been 30 hours since a thunderstorm came raging through the state. Some of the cities in the state didn’t experience a drop of rain, while others were left in the dark […]

Hey Dad
Today is Father’s Day 2021 and man do I miss you. You’ve been gone 10 years now and sometimes it doesn’t seem real. I think maybe a couple of years ago I finally changed the caller ID in my phone from your name. I would get excited sometime when I saw your name pop up […]

Be Bold!!
I was watching this YouTube video and the message was “be specific in your prayer request to God.” We have to say exactly what we want him to do. We can’t be all timid and tip -toeing. You know how to be bold, you know how to say exactly what you mean. Like when those […]

Who is They?
Two weeks have gone by since I hit the publish button on my first blog post. When I say I was nervous, that is an understatement! It was early morning like 1 or 2 am and I was going back and forth with myself on should I hit publish or just keep procrastinating. The things […]

Mother’s Day 2021
Here we are another Mother’s Day. In two days the world will be celebrating how much they love their mom and sending flowers, candy, dinners and gifts, while I will be dreading the day because 14 years ago I lost mine. It’s not that I don’t appreciate people celebrating their mom’s but I really wouldn’t […]

Motivation!!
Do you have a person or thing in your life that encourages or pushes you when you get down on yourself? My person was my cousin Lucy. When I tell you I felt like she could keep my mom off my back, I wanted her to be around all the time. It wasn’t just her […]

Chi-Chi
When we first met I had been away in the military for some years. To know your dad named you after me was shocking to say the least. I didn’t really know how I felt about that especially since he hadn’t even asked me first. Then we met, face to face and I was in […]
