Mirror of Conflict

Leaving the courthouse, Dale walked down the steps behind Sue.  He wanted to say something to her, but he knew Sue did not want to talk to him, plus she was on the arm of another man. Once Dale got into his vehicle and started driving down the road, he felt lost in his hurt, anger, and thoughts.     What happened? Hadn’t he given her everything she had ever wanted?

Full Circle

Grace walked into her bedroom, then sat down on the stool in front of her antique dressing table.  She loved the dressing table with an attached mirror which had been her Grandma’s.

When Kitty Visits

When Kitty Visits You come to visit for just a little while,  and with each visit you make me smile. I do not know your name, but it does not matter. Your warmth and love make the Angels gather. As I rub your soft fur, you roll and purr at my feet. I am comforted by your affection which is beyond sweet. Soon you will prance across the grass to your home. I am truly blessed by your visit when you roam. Views: 114

The Soldier

                    The Soldier I am wet and cold, but I forge ahead. I am tired and hungry, but I am not dead. I am nervous and scared, but I fight for you.

My Writer Muses

My Writer Muses God has always played a significant role in my life, so when He gave me a purpose to write, He became my spiritual muse. It might seem strange to some writers to have God as your muse, but not for me, it felt completely natural. So, with God at the helm, I began my writing journey. When I was at a loss to find the words to express myself in my writing, God sent me the right words.  If unexpected everyday crises came up to pull me from writing on the computer, He quickly helped resolve those problems.  Sometimes, I was surprised by how swiftly He could move the mountains....
