Time
The news of the weekend is a certain cancer diagnosis from the British Monarchy. There have been some headlines I have noticed briefly while in checkout about a lack of the Princess of Wales.

Pain… Wanting to Cry Pain!

March of 2020 is ingrained in my mind. The days of missing her feeling off because no one could visit the Nursing Home. March 10th was the last day I got to see Grandma Rosemary alive. There were a couple of days where my mom and uncles saw her at least one other time before…

Standing Up
It’s difficult for me to stay out of politics anymore. I did when I knew I heard a still small voice in the back of my head and I thought no way I could do that. I was wrong, maybe dead wrong. We have to be diligent to listen to God’s voice when He urges…

Being Pro-Life isn’t about being better than those on the other side of the issue. It’s about purpose. God gave every one of His creations a unique purpose.
