Shattered Silence

Typical Single Christian White Girl Selfie   " I'm going to end up alone. With cats. Lots of cats. I don't even like cats?" " What is wrong with me? Do I smell or something? Well, not today at least... I checked" "# foreveralonejustkiddingsingler eadytomingle" " I get the amount of attention that a white crayon does. Yeah that one’s sure looking up." " Mom, is something wrong with me?" " I'm hopeless. I'm never going to find love." " If only.... Then I'd be in a relationship" " Jesus had the perfect relation..... Oh wait a minute...." Yeah let that one sink in a little. Jesus never had the perfect relationship. In fact, as far as I am aware he never dated anyone. He never married. He never felt that intimate connection that you and I have when you really think he or she is "the one".   Yet he never complained. Or ever said, “Mom, is something wrong w...

It all started when I just recently went to the nursing home, with my grandma, a friend and her mom to bring the joy of Christmas, like snow white snow. The afternoon was going very swell, and the patients were really enjoying their visitation dwells. Nap time was present and a few were awake, but the majority of patients were dreaming of sugar plums dancing in their heads and aches. The clock was a ticking and the time would soon come, but we still had a few days till the Christmas day would have begun. The old little man whose wife just died, who would've known he lived nearby.  Or the slowly crippling woman, as sweet as a peach, would be related to little old me.  And the smiling sisters that we see every time, who send a wave and say thank you before we go on our way. Each in their kindness, humility, and peace, all they ask for is a prayer please.  Their families, their children, their uncles and aunts, but rarely who? Themselves. So easy to listen and act like ...

50 random things you probably didn't need to know... Preferably not in any specific order 1) I am obsessed with cereal and granola.  Seriously. I eat like a box every 2 days. 2) Jesus is my main man.  He has my heart and my soul.  He is my life and the reason I do what I do. 3) I am a writer. If you are reading this and haven't figured it out yet.. Well I'm sorry 4) I tend to be a bit sarcastic, but only when I feel like it. ( Refer to number 3 if you are having difficulties) Me? Sarcastic? Never. 5) I am OCD with organization, school, life.. Yep that pretty much sums it up. Oh, did I use the correct punctuation with that? 6) Dancing has been a part of my life since I was 3. No, I am not the stereotypical ballerina you are envisioning. I have taken tap, jazz and lyrical. 7) Singing is a favorite past time of mine. No, I will not sing for you.. Unless you show up at my Church, or check out my YouTube channel. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC08W9UFyRg66huFl1...

I think I was born into the wrong decade.   The one where TV’s, Ipads, Ipods, Iphones, and MacBook Air’s didn’t exist. The society where it was more important to talk to the people sitting across from you, than the ones virtually appearing on your screens. I like to imagine that I too can make this disappearing decade come back to life.   To talk to people face-to-face, instead of having a device type my words for me.   To get away from the media of this world, that was meant to “plug us in”, but really only “pulled us out”. You might call me an “old fashioned soul”, Because I enjoy getting up bright and early just to see the sunrise as it dawns.   Or waiting till it is late and dark, to envision it setting up in the nights sky.   I try to appreciate the small things in life that we generally take for granted.   From the sun, and sky and moon and stars, to the beds we sleep on while we gaze at fireflies in jars. I take delight in long walks, dis...
