The father coaxed her a little more, gently pressing. “Just say what you’ve heard Mommy say.” “DearContinue reading “MASK ON MY HEART”

After putting her children to bed, a mother changed into sweats and a droopy T-shirt, took off her makeup, and proceeded to wash her hair. As she heard the children getting more and more rambunctious, her patience grew thin. At last she threw a towel around her head and stormed into their room, putting themContinue reading “WHO AM I??”

One morning, about 3 am, I got up to let our pup out. I didn’t want to wake anyone, so I didn’t turn on a single light. I hit my toe on the corner of the couch when I rounded the corner into the living room. Later that morning I had a visit with Dr.Continue reading “THIS LITTLE LIGHT OF MINE”

**He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say to the LORD, “My refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.” Psalm 91:1-2 “Uh, hi.

At the post office in Littlefield yesterday, there were lines on the floor where people were to stand to make sure they didn’t get too close to each other.
