A Prayer For Life to Matter
Heavenly Father this week has been quite an emotional one. Having some playtime with just a few residual effects from the 20 shots and the green food from some very young supposed doctors. Among the children aspect of this week I did have an appointment with a neurologist. My allergies to smoke and dust have…

The 3rd Edition: The Hands of My Fathers
One never knows if they will have a grandparent in their lives or not or how long. After the loss of Grandpa Arla and Leo in a short span of time I made a personal decision. Time is precious so it became a mission of mine to spend time with my elders. I remember hearing…

What comes to your mind when you mow? Do you think about what you want to eat later? Maybe about a disagreement with someone? Your to-do list for the rest of the day or week? Mowing. This was a time to forget about problems. A time to just observe my surroundings and keep aware of…

A Deep Love… My Version of Events
February 4th, 2020 The week of 2020 when I originally wrote these articles was very quick. I literally wrote them late into the evening after going over them with as much as a fine-tooth comb as I could.

Finishing Thoughts: The Bishop’s Family
According to the research I have seen there are no records of Cyprianus Thascius being married. Although out of the many, there is one that says a little differently. A Catholic Encyclopedia, New Advent says specifically that Cyprian when Caecilianus knew he would die to take in his wife and family. Ms. Gentry of course,…

Bittersweet Trinkets
The world seems so different. Until I was literally around a month from my 14th birthday the light switch was turned on. Losing someone had a deeper meaning to me. Even at around the age of 10 I think when Great-Grandma Mary died, my Grandma Rosemary’s mother, death still seemed distant to me. Death is…
