The room sweats with suffering. And faces are mute with agitation. Agitation of the worst kind. The kind like when watching a scary movie. And you can’t run. Can’t scream. Courtroom insisting. No one leaving. Glued to the bench. Staring. Though we all want to turn away. Evidence roars like thunder, as a lightening of evidence strikes […]
When the Day Makes Way for Grace.
Have you ever had one of those days? Like today. Call from my child’s school. Saying…..there has been a mistake. Hepatitis B. Not in records. Deleted from the computers at the clinic. Shots.

Christian’s Gone Mute: An Internet Epidemic
Where are they? I scan the internet for hours. Researching for a blog post…. But I do not find them. Squeaky Wheels only. Sharing their opinions….while all the Christian’s have gone silent. MIA.
