Shot of Optimism

I’ve mentioned before that stepping onto the board at my church has taken over my thoughts in many ways.  I’ve felt a bit disconnected from my writing in many ways and while I have not shut down it has been hard to fully engage as I had been doing in the months prior. It feels […]

Good News…

I began this post a week ago and have been having trouble finishing it, but I have stuck with it because I feel like it’s important – important for me certainly.  It’s got a lot of the things that have been bubbling up in my mind these days – things that I need to get […]

After Lent – Day 1

Lent Day 31 – 27 for me

I’m having a little difficulty settling on something to write about today.  I find myself thinking about Syria, but I don’t really want to write about that.  One of the byproducts of following the Trump administration is that I get caught up on a lot of other current events as they happen, and I saw […]
