The mother and daughter sat across from each other in the small diner. Both adults but as with every child-parent relationship the child is still the child to the parent–no matter how old they get. The daughter took a sip of her latte and typed feverishly at her keyboard. She had brought her laptop so… Continue reading Writing, Family & Time

Christmas 2016
The year has flown by though some days seemed endless. I wonder how we got here often. How did we bustle through Thanksgiving and now Christmas is quickly approaching?

My Grandmother Prayed for Me
I realized driving home last night that the blessings in my life were a result of prayer. The traps set before me by the wicked one were expertly dodged not because of my own skill, but because of someone who prayed for me. I thought about the oh so close calls I came to settling… Continue reading My Grandmother Prayed for Me
