Discouragement is for the birds, so let it fly the **** away.

12/02/2018 Leave a Comment

Discouraged. It’s what you feel when you’re stagnant in your career. It’s what you feel when you’re exercising five days a week, eating moderately healthy, and the scale just won’t budge. It’s what you feel when you and your spouse continue to argue over menial things, but you just can’t get and keep a hold…

This is a prayer request

10/28/2018 Leave a Comment

This is a prayer request. A prayer request for any husband who tonight, upon his return from work, asks his SAHM wife what she did all day. This is a prayer request. A prayer request for any wife who tonight, upon her husband’s return from work, forget to hide the eight Amazon packages that were…

The Way You Don’t Need Me

09/16/2018 1 Comment

Sometimes you walk in the door from work, kiss and hug the kiddies and you and I give each other a look; a glance of mutual acknowledgment that we have both respectively made it to 6:30 pm and that we both, as well as the children, are all in one piece. Sometimes we linger on…
