Saved Alone
This past week I have been discouraged. Tired of the constant barrage of "bad news" around the world from the pandemic to the protesters to the riots. Conflicting reports of what happens, who said what, predictions of both good and bad in the economy. It's been getting to me, along with some personal trials and … Continue reading Saved Alone
Anxiety

It's not a good place to be.Seems to be a part of the human existence. Inevitable. Someone said the only sure things in this life are death and taxes.Nope. Not … Continue reading Anxiety

Redeem the Time
There seems to be little civility left in society today and a lot of antagonistic behavior that has nothing to do with caring for others, and it usually inspires ridicule and then violence. The cares and concerns of others are of no consequence in this "me only" world. It's hard for some of us to … Continue reading Redeem the Time
