Love Letter

Hello Love, It’s been a while since I’ve written…forgive me. I’ve been so busy working, studying for school, and trying to keep it somewhat presentable around here in the unlikely event of unexpected visitors. That’s one thing about COVID it has cut back on the number of knocks at the door. Remember how crazy things…

Beyond the Cave

Sam opened her eyes to nothing The nothing was pitch black, without form, and it was void as was the earth predawn to creation.  Funny that she should think of the earth’s creation on the day of its destruction.  The irony did not escape her. Finally, her eyes began to acclimate to the darkness, and…

The Angry Bluebird

Good Morning Love… Drinking from a cup you gave me. An angry bluebird stares back. I think he’s pissed about the coffee Because I drink and he doth lack. A funny little fellow is he. All poofed up like Donald Duck. I can’t but help to slap my knee, and laugh at his poor luck.

Love letter 2

  Good morning love, You were the first thing on my mind this morning…as always. The weeks right after you passed, I would wake up wanting your arms around me, so I would turn to your side of the bed to cuddle, but your place was empty. In that moment, a cocktail of loneliness, desperation,…

Hold My Beer

We all at one point stand at a crossroad wondering which way to go. It’s not a comfortable place to be because we fear if we choose the wrong road our life will be in turmoil, and we will miss the blessings the other road had to offer. Since the death of my wife, I…

My Last Love Letter To You

Honey, I’m sitting here in the parking lot with my heart in my throat. I’m so worried about you, so much so it takes my breath away. It was so good to hear your voice over the phone. Your voice in my ear was an answer to prayer. I love you so much and I…

A Caregiver’s Heart 12/13/2020

As a caregiver, I get tired.  Tired as in “take a seat and rest a spell”…yes…but sometimes as in, “God, I want to give up, I just don’t see the good I’m doing.” I find that when I’m in that mode I personalize everything around me.  For instance, when the family members of my client…

Life is Like a Box of Cracker Jacks

Remember ripping into a box of Cracker Jacks searching for the prized toy hidden inside?  The caramel coated popcorn and peanuts were delicious, but as a kid the anticipation of finding my very own toy was by far the best part of my Cracker Jack experience.  I’d play with it 5 maybe 10 minutes then…

A COVID Thanksgiving

I grew up on a dead-end dirt road, running barefoot, with pig-tails, and a cap-gun strapped to each hip.  My imaginary world was wonderful, and I lived in it as much as possible, but by the end of the day it would dissipate and the reality of poverty and fear would take over.  My mom,…

God is My Refuge

Friends, my emotions have been tossed to and fro like leaf in the wind. The political scene in America has taken the peace that God promises I can have if I but put my trust in Him. But these questions ring heavy in my mind, “…but God, how can I trust when this man has…
