God Almighty
That phrase has been floating around in my brain and making me wonder about things. I went to church last Sunday and that wasn't even the preacher's sermon but he did mention something similar to that that got me to thinking about it. Do you really believe there is a God? If so what qualities do you...

raising children?
I have been thinking about that phrase lately. I wonder sometimes about my own parenting and things that I hear about today's generation. We seem to be hearing more and more about young people still living at home until they are in their late 20s and somehow that just doesn't sit right with me,...

Shameful moments
I've been really busy lately so I haven't had time to keep up with these blogs but I'll try to do better. One of the things I've been busy with is the short fiction class I'm taking. In our last class we were given an assignment to turn in for next week. We are supposed to write for at least twenty...

A day like no other (cont.)
A male voice at the other end of the line asked if she was Rene Conner and she said it was. He gave his name and said he was a state trooper and asked if she was related to Mary Conner, to which Rene answered, “Yes” and noticed that the deputy was trying to tell her something. The trooper on the...

A day like no other
Morning used to be her favorite time, and she had been looking forward to this one all week. After getting the kids through breakfast and morning chores, she was putting her hair up when she heard the car horn. “Jo-hn!” She called as she headed for the door. She said goodbye to the others and she...

Bloggers who think they're better
Do some bloggers just think they're better than the rest of us? If bloggers are anything like some of the people I've seen lately, they must. For instance, the other day I was going into the store and I noticed a guy getting out of his truck and walking in, smoothing his hair as he walked. Which was...

A terrible thing happened
It was unexpected and debilitating. I couldn't blog. Every time I sat down at the computer, even if I had an idea, nothing would come out. I have finally decided today that I was just going to try to do something, anything. I managed to get one out at lunch yesterday but I wasn't really satisfied...

Quiet times
For many years I lived with a lot of noise and commotion. As a child I lived in a bustling city and every day was filled with all sorts of noises, from lawn mowers to car horns to sirens to music and a host of other sounds. I used to really love it when I could spend a weekend at my Grandmother's...
