Marriage
Afterimage
Afterimage …suddenly you were gone. A month ago today, I lost you. After six weeks of pure hell. Of having lost communication with you, but believing you were coming home to me. To Mia. To Chase. You slipped through my fingers like water. I held your hand and left my other hand over your heart [&hellip
I left it here…
Tonight lying on the floor in the middle of the living room, it happened again… This time it wasn’t my childhood, it was my life with you. Cash turned on the iPad and Mat Kearney came on. I use to travel quite a bit… only a couple days away each time, but the frequency was [&hellip
I Can’t Compete
Last night, Brody and Cash had their bath and we had a good time like we usually do… A little water on the floor, a few screams, lots of laughs, and a ”daddy I’m done.” One by one I pick the boys up out of the bath… ”Daddy I’m cold.” ”I know buddy, let me [&hellip
Red Barchetta (Silver Camaro)
Fuel pump. 30 minute fix. Had the part for months. …since before Michele went into the Hospital. Took me until yesterday to do something about it. I had been dreading it. Scared about what memories would come rushing back if I got my hands dirty, my brow gritty and pick up that smell of working [&hellip
I remember you…
I’m teasing… Yeah, well you did this… No, I’m right… You couldn’t be more wrong… Trust me… These are words of prideful man. These are my words. I lived the good part of 29 years trying to argue points to friends, family, and co-workers, for reasons I didn’t quite recognize… until this past year. I [&hellip
Circumstances
Circumstances, which are often outside of our control, dictate our actions. I didn’t choose this. I didn’t ask for this. I didn’t want this. Why would someone, two people, a family have to face this set of circumstances? Why would we be asked to shoulder this load? Why would people who always put a huge [&hellip
Better Than I Know
How does He do it? How does He know? How my heart aches; how my heart bends; how my heart reacts; what my heart needs… He was there. He is here. He will be… My grandmother was one of those women that truly loved The Lord. In one conversation with her, you knew that the [&hellip
I’m a blind beggar too
As Jesus was leaving Jericho with his disciples and a sizable crowd, Bartimaeus, a blind man, the son of Timaeus, sat by the roadside begging. On hearing that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out and say, ”Jesus, son of David, have pity on me.” And many rebuked him, telling him to [&hellip
Turn the Page
As time rolls (extremely slowly) along, I feel as if I’m living in the pages of a book. …the kind of book that leaves you without a conclusion at the end with a pretty little bow wrapped around it. The kind of book that is the most powerful – a mix of emotions, tragedy, triumph, [&hellip
Resist
”I can learn to coexist with anything but pain.” …I understand, fully, that pain is a part of the process, and that even in the deepest and happiest moments of my future, the pain will still be with me – but feeling it daily, and feeling it in uncontrolled waves isn’t natural – it isn’t [&hellip
