If Life was More Consistent I Think it Would be Easier

I still derive most of my income from driving trucks, eighteen-wheeler semi’s mostly. I’ve lost track of the number of times I’ve come up behind a vehicle traveling slower than me. My inclination is to pass them when it’s safe to do so. More times than not the other driver speeds up before I can… Continue reading If Life was More Consistent I Think it Would be Easier

I don’t know much about the future, but I do know this.

Holy “What day is it?” My life has gotten extremely crazy lately. Hence the Monday blog post on Wednesday. I don’t know when I’ll finally get another Friday post out. Prayers are appreciated.

THE LOST ARE FOUND

“What have I done to deserve any of this? First, you take me from my home. Then you drag me to a foreign land. Now you force your husband on me.
