I heard a co-worker talking today and she said, “where there’s a will, there’s a way”. Tonight I ask who’s “will” do we sway under. For so many years I followed my own will and have paid a high price for much of my wasted time and effort. When I had enough disappointments I [...]

I have listened to this song many times but I needed a physical reminder today to bring me back around to understanding how much was paid for my redemption!
Liquid  -  Lyrics by Jars Of Clay
Arms nailed down,
are you telling me something?
Eyes turned out,

Okay so I’ve been fighting a cold bug of some sort and if actions are any indication than I am on the winning side. I have remained ambulatory when I long ago would’ve expected to have taken to my bed. My only answer for why has to be expectation and joy. I spent a [...]
