Breakfast at Tiffany’s: The unique agony of motherhood lost
He shall feed his flock like a shepherd: he shall gather the lambs with his arm, and carry them in his bosom, and shall gently lead those that are with young. Isaiah 40:11 Something I am learning in my walk with God is how specific He is when He speaks to us personally. What connects with one of His children may not always connect with another. Therefore, He will find ways to reach us based on our experiences, our culture, our gender and our deepest longings. That is exactl

Been thinking about: Fireworks and summer sweat

Old 1960s’ refrigerator, stocked with beer and leftovers, with a freezer desperately in need of defrosting hummed. It was July sometime in the early 1990s. I paused. Perhaps the twilight made this moment profound, though if some
