When Life Turns Sour
Now when they came to Marah, they could not drink the waters of Marah, for they were bitter. Therefore the name of it was called Marah. And...
The Jagged Edges of the Heart
Everyone seems to be on edge now, and the smallest thing can stir up anger. Believe me, this message is as much for me as it is for anyone else. I need a buffer between the words I hear or read and the words I speak. Time to pause and get it right.
Guide Dog Tale: Safe at my Father’s Feet

Learning to Wait Without Wavering
