Unpack.
I remember everything. Every horrible word. Every terrible action. I thought I had gotten rid of them by moving forward, but I hadn’t dealt with how their comments made me feel. Who are they, you ask? Various people throughout my life, who I felt had done me wrong (in some way). Being made fun of…

manos que moldean (hands that mold)
I was praying today and I found myself thanking God for molding me into some kinda man. I say that because I can’t describe it any other way. I am amazed at who I am becoming. I react differently to different situations now. Freaking out is not my first reaction. My faith is deeper. My…

Birds of a feather….
There’s a strange occurrence in my life: I have friends. Before you think I’m going nuts, just hear me out. I had a complex for much of my life: I thought that no one could out-give me, out of my group of friends. Honestly, I felt like no one could love like I could, and…

I’ve learned that we shouldn’t be concerned with tomorrow because it…

Love Out Loud (Part deaux)!
So, as I explained in Love Out Loud Pt. 1, my family came to visit. One of our excursions lead us to Georgetown. While walking, they decided to get lunch. The barbecue spot was a quaint, open-air restaurant. I arrived about 15 minutes after they were seated, because I was completing errands previously. When I…

Love Out Loud (Part 1)!
Greetings everyone! I am writing you from the basement -no, really. I’m tending to laundry. As I reflect on the occurrences of the past weekend, I have realized that I am blessed (yet again). My Momma and sisters came up to visit. Dad had a speaking engagement, and couldn’t come. They spent a couple of…
