Bruised Feet; A Full Heart
This weekend saying it’s busy has been an understatement. There has been some craziness around here so it has actually been a welcome distraction for me. Music is the passion and talent God gave me from birth. It’s the gift that continues to give. As of this moment I am literally tied emotionally to three…

Forgiveness
What does this word mean? The Merriam-Webster Dictionary says, “the act of forgiving.” In the Bible I know there is scripture talking about 70 times 7. It is in Matthew 18:21-22. Those words came to mind once again after this afternoon. All throughout time God has dealt with His people who cannot forgive and forget…

Sittin In… A Clinic
Friday was the day Mom had to reschedule an appointment from the day before. If Dad hadn’t have had an agenda of his own that day she would have made it Thursday afternoon, but she canceled it and was fortunately able to find an opening on that Friday morning. Sometimes I feel like I am…

Caesar and Christ
Lately pundits on the Republican and Conservative side keep repeating this statistic. Multiple times on different shows the number 40% of Christians do not vote. Even Trump had the line in his speech at least once if not every ‘Trump Rally’ that is really a shocking rate. Growing up voting in my family and church…

My Surprise
This morning I got a phone call from Mom. She was on our way to my Uncle’s appointment at the hospital, but she decided to make one phone call in between. It kind of caught me off guard even though I knew she was wanting to make this phone call for a while. So when…

This morning I heard where Kamala would be hiding today. I have known for a few days about Israel’s Prime Minister giving a Speech to Congress. Her whereabouts I didn’t know would take her halfway across the country to here in my state, Indiana. In a way it’s kind of insulting. She needed some place…
