My Heart Aches
What makes your heart ache? What makes you feel like you don’t do enough? There is a man who stands on the corner near the entrance to our neighborhood.

Through Ups and Downs
”… his heart is steadfast, trusting the Lord His heart is tranquil, without fear.” Psalm 112:7b – 8a I like to say that in the military, nothing is final until you get your orders… and even those can change. It seems that we are always waiting to know what our next job will be, when [&hellip

Mouse Blessings?
I live in Army housing. (for those of you who also live in Army housing, I’m sure this paragraph will not surprise you) It’s not glamorous, but it serves it’s purpose. It’s old, but it has ”charm”.
