It’s just how it is. It’s just how I am. ~ Emotional ~ Sometimes out of control That’s me, and I’ll never change. Those thoughts rounded the corner of my own 20 and 30-something mind more than once – far too often. Feeling “less than” became reality simply because I couldn’t seem to reel in the…
Do you see the batter? He’s at home base, his foot scraping across the dust-covered white plate. Bits of powdery white lime, the substance used to mark fair and foul, and airy, brownish-orange dust mingle up into the air. Tapping his cleats, two – maybe three – times on the base, he then bangs his left foot…
We’re quickly approaching March 18 – Trisomy 18 Awareness Day. Today’s #YourStory was written by Crystal Hopkins, a gal with an intimate, walking-through-the shadows understanding of Trisomy 18.

She is the author of a book I HIGHLY recommend. (See…
How do you read your Bible? Mind if I throw something practical onto the blogosphere today? It’s nothing profound, but the end result, its by-product, certainly could be. It could be life-changing.
