Created for a purpose

Whatever has come to be has already been named .... Ecc 6:10a ESV  Something about closing in on age fifty made me search my soul and ask myself, "How did I get here so fast?"  For 27 years, I had been a mom. Even though I had sometimes wished there was more...

God waste nothing

I kept telling myself over and over, “she’s just a dog.” I don’t know how many times I played it over and over in my head. I was hoping my heart would catch up to it so that it wouldn’t hurt so bad. For eight years, she was our shadow. She was there when my daughter...
