Rally

A few years ago, I remember arriving at church and sitting down in our row. We sit in the same spot every week. Familiarity is comfortable, and we often sit by the same people every week. But that week, there was a new couple that sat a few seats away from me. I remember theContinue reading “Rally”

My List of Fears, Risks & Difficulties

If someone asks me to gamble or to take a risk, I will say no. I would be a boring contestant on Jeopardy. I would never risk more than I needed to on a Daily Double. Poker stresses me out. I have a growing list in my head that I add to subconsciously. It’s all theContinue reading “My List of Fears, Risks & Difficulties”

For years, I spent time in the Word, but never pushed myself more than I hadContinue reading “Constant Transformation”

Writing was my hobby. I was actually pretty good with babies, considering I hadContinue reading “What 26 Looks Like”
