Yesterday morning I said something stupid to my husband. Something I apologized for before he left for work. Yet I realize though an apology is accepted, the thought has been vocalized. Feelings have been exposed. Grace, she comes with a heavy load Memories, they can’t be erased Like a pill I swallow, he makes me … More said something stupid
Sundays today are very different than the Sundays of the past. When your husband is a pastor, as mine was for quite a few years of our marriage, Sundays are shared days. It’s an understood. For a pastor, Sunday is the biggest day of the week. For church members, Sunday is the day when they … More written on a Sunday
Happy Friday! I’m so glad this week is over. I’m so glad this week is over. I’m so glad this week is over……..

{HOPE} is my word of the year, 2013. So far, so good, I suppose, in that I haven’t lost all hope. I realize though, as we’ve now entered September, I have four months to continue {hoping}. Hopefully, that won’t be a huge chore. Today is the other January 1. The above was posted by Gretchen … More four more months of hope
TGIF and all that jazz. I am incredibly happy that this week is coming to a close. It’s been a long one. And my first born returns home tonight.
