Nails salons are not typically known for conversation. Unlike their distant cousin, the hair salon, there always seems to be very little communication between client and technician. I don't speak Vietnamese and they don't speak English so there's not much either of us can do. It's fine by me because I enjoy the quiet. At …
Someday
Someday I will heal Someday I will grow another heart And I'll start it over Someday I will find All the words I'm thinking all the time And I'll say them over Someday might take a little time Someday might never change your mind Maybe it's a dream Maybe all the blood I'll ever bleed …
‘Til The End Of The Age
I wrote this about three months ago, completely spur of the moment. I just starting writing and couldn't seem to be able to stop. That's rare, people. I'd like to turn it into a song. Someway. Somehow. But for now, I'll leave it here.... Every nation, every heart Every ear will hear the start Of …

Amateur hour, I know...but I loved every minute of it. So...ya, here it is. "The Majesty Of Jesus" "No eye has seen, No ear has heard, No mind …

I’m Working On My Backwards Walk.
Just a thought.... My mom was right. Life moves fast. One moment, everything is one way. The next moment, it's on to something else. It's hard to accept the things you can't change but we were never meant to stay bound to our past. I'm so grateful God has designed us for growth. Whether …
