My last 30 days

I would...
I wouldn't work as much. However, knowing me and the way I am, I would want to get the household in order and 'cleaned out' so that my family wouldn't have to deal with it when I am gone. I would clear the clutter and junk so that my family would not have to face it all. I would have to write down...
In the moment
I know the 30 day feeling. I felt it in the form of a lump under my arm more than nine years ago. The Dr's at the time gave me a pretty grim prognosis and told me "Expect the best but plan for the worst". Somehow and for some reason God choose to heal me. Now my life is different! Yes, I am one...
30 Last Suppers
Guilty. I pull in my driveway & head into my house. I occasionally come out to mow & I give the friendly Christian wave. How many neighbors have I invited to our dinner table? Zip. Even IN our house, it's a struggle to keep dinner together a priority. When we do, there's laughter and some of...

Let it all go!
