Throughout history people have questioned and theorized the essence of good vs. evil. These ideas are shown in many religions throughout the centuries and manifested in our moral compasses. We are all aware of the christian stance on good vs. evil; how God is perfect and good and Satan is cruel and evil. But in […]
What’s for Dinner?
Have you ever felt a craving for food, but you just could not figure out what you wanted? When I was pregnant with each of my four children, I had this predicament. It was always something different and it always seemed counterintuitive because it was often accompanied by nausea. I remember with my last child, […]
I’m Fine
I was talking to someone awhile back and they asked the old question, “Hey, how are you doing?” Without much though I gave my usual response “Oh I’m good”.

I have a very kind and amazing sister-in-law named Kimberly. She has been married to my brother, Clarence, for 37 plus years. Recently I heard a story about their early marriage. They had had a terrible argument (neither can remember what it was about now), but my brother decided to get Kimberly roses as a […]
When Being Good isn’t Good Enough
Growing up mostly in church and attending youth events in the early 2000’s, a common question that I’d hear was: “Do you know where you will spend eternity?” We were encouraged to ask others this question as well and the typical answer we would hear was “heaven of course.” However it was the answer to […]
