Reflections: Mourning

This week has been a somber week for me.  Thursday, we remembered the victims of September 11, 2001.  Most of us remember who we were with, and where we were at the time of the attack.  For me, I’m always taken back “there”...

Lord, Grant Me Your Grace

LTML 35: The Reader

Our days are usually a grind.  We wake up, pray, wash up, brush our teeth, pray, eat our breakfast, clean up, and then start our lessons. We grind daily to the point that there are days when I cannot step back and enjoy the fruit of our labor. Until a few days...

The “S” Word

I wanted to start this post with talking about submission, but I found myself having difficulty in trying to explain it in detail.  I then realized that I cannot talk about submission unless I talk about love. The word submission is considered to be a nasty...

LTML33: Six To One

As my youngest is getting older, I sense that there is a shift going on with how I’m feeling and how I’m writing.  I know you noticed, but bear with me!  A lot of my humor and joy has been reserved for my kids.  That doesn’t mean...

The Problem With Envy

Tel me if you have ever been in this situation: You are struggling.  You are trying to have everything together all the time buy you are always falling short.  You look over at your friend (be it online or in real life) and it always seem like they have it...
