Life Story
Life After Marriage: Identity
Recently I was asked about my wedding rings and at what point I removed them after things had fallen apart in my marriage. It was a subject that I hadn't talked about before and recounting the memories of that part of my life was painful. I had intended to wear my rings until the very … Continue reading Life After Marriage: Identity
Overwhelmed.
Life as a whole has been utterly overwhelming in many ways recently. It seems the storms keep coming and yet the rainbows are always there at the end to remind me of Gods love and faithfulness through it all.

You do the best you can to retain the information given and then you … Continue reading When your best just isn’t good enough.
“Living life for the Lord, one day at a time.”
Several years ago I changed the tag line on my personal Facebook page to read "Living life for the Lord, one day at a time.".

Keeping the Peace
