There was once a girl named Sass. Life was good and the only evil she found came from her mouth. Her family took great vacations, and she continued to grow older. A brother came and rocked her world, but more was better than alone. She had no worldly cause for discontent. But…she sensed…there must be … Continue reading light

water
Today is March 13…trivial to most of the world and life-changing for me. This day still makes water leak out of my eyes, as I discovered earlier today. There are times in my life that I hate having a good memory. It’s more scarring that anything, because in an instant my memory can bring perfect … Continue reading water
find
Find. Not found. Find. That is important because found implies something that has already been located or been established. Find implies seeking something…an action on your part. Scary? It shouldn’t be. It should be invigorating. It should be enticing. Seeking brings new experiences. Seeking brings new friendships. Seeking means adventures. Seeking means discovering something new. … Continue reading find
hear
My eyes are closed and my soul is in conflict. So many things tackling my senses at once and my mind has trouble processing what my eyes have just seen. When I open my eyes…it’s still there so far below me. The trash. The dump. The ants scurrying over it…wait, no...those are people. There are … Continue reading hear

Arguments, confrontation and walls so thick that a wrecking ball wouldn’t be able to break it down...it drives me crazy when believers fight. I get that family members have fights, especially when we are passionate people. But what does that show non-believers if we can’t get along? Would you want to be a part of … Continue reading lift
vision
Everyone has dreams. Even those that are told they are not allowed to dream…secretly, they have dreams for themselves. What I love about a dream is the amount of passion that is behind it. Whether you are driven by love, soul or God…the passion that can ignite a dream to fulfillment is beautiful and sometimes … Continue reading vision
live
Breathe in. Breathe out. Breathe in. Breathe… Breath is life for our bodies. Without it…we are nothing. Life giving oxygen, but as much as our bodies might be living…the world is a dull grey with foggy outlines without the love of God filling our souls turning our world into vivid colors and sharpening our vision … Continue reading live
spirit
God. Jesus. Holy Spirit. The Trinity. I love God. Jesus is my friend. But honestly, Spirit is the one I feel closest to most of the time. How could you not? Jesus repeatedly said, hey ya’ll I’m leaving…but I’m leaving something behind for you. And it will be something that is so fluid, yet transparent … Continue reading spirit
evil
Evil. Easy to despise. Easy to be put yourself on the opposing side. Easy to speak out against. Easy to hate the villain. Also…easy to find yourself slipping into… How many times have I said something hateful? How many times have I done something mean? So often I find myself amidst the struggle of more … Continue reading evil
wonder
Wonder. Such a fabulous word. Curiosity...so similar. I am completely guilty of being enamored with snowflakes. I am absolutely giddy when I see perfect snowflakes. I love snow...and seeing absolute perfection in frozen form mesmerizes me as I inspect each of the pointed ends. Truly, I experience the same wonder with sunsets. So beautiful, and … Continue reading wonder
