What would blow your mind? I was thinking about that this afternoon because I had been reading a mother’s sharing of healing happening in her son who has autism. A member of my family has also been afflicted with this condition so we continue to hope for improvement month after month and now year after [...]

“A true soldier fights not out of hatred for those ahead of him, but out of love for those behind him.” C.K. Chesterton
It can be difficult to feel like you are the only one plowing a hard road but surely love keeps propelling me forward into a great unknown. I have the word [...]

Grrrooowwlll! Is that in the vocabulary? I suspect not but it certainly should be. Some days just are not all smiles and sunshine regardless of my trying to make it into something it’s not . This is when I can feel the irritations oozing into my face like some freak of nature. When I start [...]

I want my mouth to be loaded with an “auto-rewind” feature complete with a “memory erase” button for those I am talking to. In this age of techno-talk I would think it’s totally possible, don’t [...]
