The Goose Flies Again!

The Goose Flies Again!

i’m alive! oh, it feels good to be alive! for those of you who have been wondering…i did, actually, drop off the face of the planet for like a week and a half. i went to misery land. the land of viruses that turned into infections that stripped me of my voice, stuffed my head and nose, scratched my throat raw, and made me hack like i’ve never hacked before. a very sweet and kind friend of mine (you’ll never…

Hidden Dreams

Hidden Dreams

yeah, you have them. hidden dreams. dreams you’ve never mentioned. dreams you’ve maybe never even admitted to yourself. we all do it. why do we do it? why do we hide our dreams? hide our longings? well for one, we chalk up the “obvious” to logic. in doing so (and this brings me to my second reason) we limit God. our faith is weak. yeah, we have faith…but it’s quite possibly smaller then a mustard seed. “i know you’re huge,…

Bright Pink Rose

Bright Pink Rose

A bright pink rose sits in a small glass vase in the center of my oven. It’s a beautiful rose. Just like Holly. As is the rose- Holly was full of life, loved by so many people, gorgeous to look at, but just as gorgeous on the inside. Dear, sweet Holly never knew a stranger. She reached out to any person, and she loved every one she met. Holly loved God, and she loved people. The rose that sits on…
