Truth Will Not Hide
There are forces of nature that are set firm. The laws of physics are one example. Truth is a natural law. No matter what you do to hide it the truth will not stay hidden. You can lie and stretch it, or here’s a good one ignore it, however it will not stay hidden. It…

I decided to Trust My Husband
I know it seems that trust is supposed to be automatic. We see a new couple who appear happy and in love at the beginning of a marriage. They have a bright wide-open future in front of them. They say the words and we pray for them as they start a new life together. We…

You Do Not Have to Suffer

The Power of Stopping
Photo by Melissa Askew on Unsplash I kept thinking I had forgotten something. You know that nagging feeling that something important is not getting done. Check the oven. No, it’s off.

Save Time and Love Longer

Life is Not Always Nice
Photo by Ryan Franco on Unsplash I am so over the whining. Everywhere I go humans are complaining. Oh, poor me. Life isn’t fair.
