Enough

Enough is enough. We are not going to have our liberties stolen from us. We are not going to be told what to do by people who do not follow these same rules themselves. We are not cancelling Thanksgiving. We are not cancelling Christmas. We are not allowing anyone to tell us who and howContinue reading “Enough”

Light

Patience is a virtue. I know personally that I struggle daily with this virtue. It is hard to wait. So very hard. We taught our children at a very young age that it was important to learn to wait, especially for those things that are important. We intentionally took them to restaurants to show themContinue reading “Light”

Simple

Today it is simple. It is a brief yet summarizing narrative. Here is what I have to say: I believe: Life begins at conception. We live in the greatest country in the world. Science IS real, but so is GOD. Prayer changes hearts. Freedom is not free. Good always trumps Evil. No exceptions. God hasContinue reading “Simple”

Unafraid

We are starting to find our purpose over here. It has been 8 weeks since he has donned his uniform and driven his beat. It has been a slow peeling back of the layers. Some good. Some not so good. The final i’s were dotted and t’s crossed this last week. No going back now.Continue reading “Unafraid”

Faith

The definition of faith is the conviction and belief in things not seen. Faith is what grounds me. Faith is what wars are rooted in. Faith is what is fundamental and woven in our American culture. Faith is under attack right before our eyes. I for one have taken my faith for granted multiple timesContinue reading “Faith”

Reply

Over the weekend there was a blatant attack on police. It was in broad daylight. It was deliberate. It was brazen. Dark and evil days are here. People who believe what they are told without question are among us and these attacks are going to become commonplace. Many have been calling for retribution. You cannotContinue reading “Reply”

Labor

Every flag that waves, and every hand-covered heart. Every deeply felt prayer asking God to bless America is a declaration of thanks and admiration to all those who have come before us and served. Today is not just a day off, it is a day to wave those flags, cover those hearts, remove those hatsContinue reading “Labor”

Walk Away

It started out as an ordinary Wednesday. It was the third day in his four day week. He was anxious, as he had been of late. He kissed me goodbye and went on his way. He called me early this night. He usually called to say goodnight. The call came at 6:00. He was breathlessContinue reading “Walk Away”

New Normal

I was driving last night and a commercial came on the radio between Minnesota and Wisconsin. It was for a radio station in Rochester, MN and the commercial started out by saying “we will never return to normal”. My heart skipped a beat. What in the actual hell is going on? Who gets to decideContinue reading “New Normal”

Calm

There has been a calm in the air lately. I have felt it and I must say it is welcome. I do not necessarily trust it, but I will take what I can get these days. I have had some difficult conversations and decisions that I have made over the last couple of weeks. ItContinue reading “Calm”
