For words that save. Have you thought about the words you use the most? I think most of us just blah, blah, blah for the most part, not really giving it much thought. At least not until later. But, some words are lifting, while others are sinking, and whether alone or linked together, their meaning…

Often, they could be found at the kitchen table eating our Moms’ cooking or just hanging out. They were friends from school, church, and work, and they were always welcome. At times, I’d come home and…

Grateful for others’ joys. We all know how bad life can suck at times, and that none of us is exempt. Much of my daily prayers are said for friends and family who are going through a rough patch, be it health reasons or financial burdens, or workplace challenges, you name it. So when I…
