Respect
Veterans Day. Respect for our Veterans should be given every day. It has been a month or longer now since this happened. Mom and I walk our local family Cemetery. It’s less than 5 minutes away from home and the best location for our daily walks. Mowing has been a fun hobby and part-time job…

A Glorious Day
By the grace of God, I was able to watch live and listen to the roll call vote held today. I cannot tell you how nearly goose-bump awesome it was when I realized the vote was on and they were already into the ‘B’s and I heard only Johnson from Republicans. For the first time…

Complicated
Why is love so complicated sometimes? Is it simply because we let insecurities, fears and doubts take over? Is there a way to un-complicate love?

Being An American
Maybe it’s true I have led a sheltered life in the loving arms of my Patriotic Christian Family. I was born here and taught the wonderful things that this Country has accomplished.

Defining An American Woman
I can define a woman, unlike the newest U.S. Supreme Court Justice. Supposedly she is a woman, but cannot define herself. God created a woman with the capabilities to bear her husband’s children: to love, support him and keep him in check when necessary and to lovingly guide their family with him. There are several…
