Dear Lord, I know that what I am about to ask isn’t written in red. You haven’t given specific instructions on this one, I know. But you do tell me to ask what ever I want in your name. So like a little girl, tugging at her Daddy’s shirt tail, today I stand at Your … Continue reading

Where Am I Plugged In?
I am in knots today. From the moment my feet hit the floor, all the way down to the coffee pot, and even now as I sit at my little spot at the end of the kitchen table, I am a wad of nerves and knots. And why? Well, I can’t quite put my finger … Continue reading
