Moment to Moment

I am completely humbled by the outpouring of help from my community and beyond. We are practically having to gut our home in hopes to salvage. We are living in a borrowed camper and our needs our met. We have a long road ahead of us. As long as we are busy, my spirits are good. But by the end of a... Sign in to see full entry.

The SMALL stuff, part 4 (Final)

I didn’t stand at the front of the church some 15 years, two kids, a cat, two dogs and another woman ago and flippantly say, “I Do” to the love, cherish and honor through sickness and health questions. On the contrary, I listened to each word carefully, and confirmed my devotion with “I Do. I Do,”... Sign in to see full entry.

The SMALL stuff, part 3

My family was complete, until the other woman entered the picture. Although I didn’t consider her family, she was a factor in mine, nevertheless. After everything else, I could surely get through this. But I didn’t, well not completely anyway. I fell apart. I didn’t think I was going to make it. And... Sign in to see full entry.

The SMALL stuff, part 2

When my first child was three, I got pregnant with my daughter. Midway through the pregnancy we found out there were complications and that she was very sick. I prayed; I begged; I did everything I could to fight for her life, but God’s answer was “No.” Faith Elizabeth was born and died on May 25,... Sign in to see full entry.

The SMALL stuff, part 1

My difficulties are really no different than anyone else’s, so I think a lot of people can relate to my story. My husband and I dated for three years before getting married. We made sure of everything: We knew who each of us were, who our families were. We completed our education before getting... Sign in to see full entry.

Passage

Coulda, shoulda, woulda. But what kept me from it? Really, what kept any of us from it? Was it true love? Was it the baby who came too soon; a marriage rushed; divorce; responsibilities at home; a tragedy we never got over? Or was it simply youth? Life keeps us from it -- our lives that is, or the...

Fried Bologna Breakfast

Many couples have their moment of “Hmmm, what have I gotten myself into,” over differences in religion, irritating in-laws, finances, etc. Well our first flash of the “So this is how it is going to be,” came the first day I made breakfast, oh about the first day home from our honeymoon. Now, since... Sign in to see full entry.

What Part of ME Did You Not Get?

She sat in their living room in a place she once called home, and went back in time, as she studied the pictures on their wall. Looking at their wedding day photo, she stepped back into the shoes of a young, naïve girl, who put her hand in his, and promised her heart to only him; she buried her head...

Where Have All the Good Times Gone

As I sit here and ponder where my sex drive has gone, I reflect. I think back to a time of wild, passionate love-making and I see a much younger version of myself in the starring role. I wonder, what on earth has happened to me? Have I maxed out my sex life – hit my limit and now it is all over? Or... Sign in to see full entry.
