Road Trips, COVID, Dissent, OH MY!
Well, it’s been a while… again. I haven’t been able to write. Our country has gone crazy and I feel sad, afraid, and mad as all get out! But I haven’t wanted to write about it. I’ve also done some traveling. That’s been fun! I took DD on a road trip to Texas across... Continue Reading →

As often as you eat and drink…
It's Sunday again and y'all, I haven't been to worship in a church building in quite a while. Sometimes I watch online, sometimes I don't. We are struggling right now with the "church" and "religion." I still believe, my faith is strong, but things just have not been feeling "right" lately and so we struggle.... Continue Reading →
