Against the Wind
A Conversation with God 7/29/16 Me: God, I’m confused. God: About what, my child? Me: Well, how can Christians, who are filled with the same Holy Spirit, perceive the world so differently?

Unstoppable Love
A Conversation with God 7/28/16 Me: God, I’m so tired. God: Come to me and rest. Me: It’s just this world is getting me down. I’m so tired of hateful, mean-spirited judgement.

Many times I’ve taken them off my nose and used my shirt to wipe away the haze; however, it only creates a greater murkiness in which to navigate the letters upon the page. This is frustrating.
