I have been thinking and it seems to me that the WR is a door. For the racers, it is a door to service and humbling themselves. To living life in adventurous pursuit of Christ and all the terrible and wonderful ways that expresses itself. But it is also a door for the parents, not … Continue reading 2nd Act

My Fashion Statement
This blog is entirely written tongue-in-cheek.... Boots are all the rage, and as the weather cools they come out in force. This year, I decided to get in on the fashion craze. My boot is made of warm and cozy fleece. It is midnight black with charcoal gray accents. There are no zippers, or buckles … Continue reading My Fashion Statement
I Am
I am. Two words. Two words which proclaim identity. I am a mother. I am a wife. I am a woman. I am a teacher. I am a friend. I am a sister. I am a daughter. I am a believer. All of these things define me. All proceeded by two words, which connect me … Continue reading I Am
Why Vote?
I’ve never liked politics. I was raised in a family where one grandfather was a staunch democrat, and the other was just as loyal of a republican.

They were having a Sorghum Soppin’ and when we arrived Sharon Mauney asked us to participate. I had never heard that term so I wasn’t … Continue reading Wish I Hadn’t
Blood Moon
The moonlight filters through the bathroom window spilling into the tub like liquid. As I shuffle through the room in the wee hours of the morning, I am tempted to climb in and bathe in the pure white light. The need to sleep overpowers the odd feeling that I should stay and soak it in. … Continue reading Blood Moon
My Artistic Adventure
Recently I had an adventure, and I know you will get a laugh out of it. It was late in the evening, after a long day. Turning to art to relieve some stress, had my wax on. The windows were open for ventilation, with music playing to create a soothing and calm mood to heighten … Continue reading My Artistic Adventure
Bravery Rises
It never ceases to amaze me how much courage cancer brings out in people. It is a fearful thing to have those words spoken over you, and the treatment regimen alone would make the strongest of people tremble. Yet, we do it. We put one foot in front of the other and walk the path … Continue reading Bravery Rises
