Sunday Prayer: Music

Dear Lord, For the past several weeks, I have noticed that my daughter has developed, musically. Aside from thinking she’s Alicia Keys when she’s singing Empire State of Mind, my daughter also sometimes thinks she Yo-Yo Ma with his cello, and Santana with...

Sunday Prayer: Free Will

Dear Lord, I don’t know where to begin with this one. I want to say thank you for common sense, but I wonder why you gave us free will first. For example Lord, I tell my daughter not to climb because she can fall–see, common sense that I’m sharing....

Forest of Family

When I was younger, I used to think of my family as a forest of trees. Always standing, always strong. It didn’t matter what happened, I knew I was protected by the vast numbers of my loved ones. But as I grew older, I noticed a shift, a change in my forest. No...
