oh, what time can do

We sit side by side, neither of us bothering to even glance at the other. No words are spoken between us. I pause in my reading to consider the stranger next to me. I can feel his presence there. His body heat warms the cushion of the couch we share. The scent of his cologne is pleasant. His breathing is loud, likely the result of nasal congestion. Occasionally he will clear his throat and the harsh sound breaking the silence startles me. Who is this man and how did he come to sit next to me here? It seems I knew him once. A long time ago perhaps. Surely there was a time when we were not such strangers. There is something familiar about his raspy breath. That pleasant cologne stirs distant memories. Yes, I am sure I knew him once. Tentatively I glance over and for a second I catch a glimpse not of the stranger he is today, but of the man I fell in love with so many years ago. I see my husband.

First I want to share what areas I struggle the most with when it comes to fighting the flesh. For me it is sloth and gluttony. I am lazy. I fully admit it; I am a lazy person.

THAT mom

Grab This Button You know that mom? The one that has all the neighborhood kids at her house all the time. Her door is always open. She greats each child that walks through the door by name, because she actually knows all their names. She has a kitchen full of snacks, sodas and juice boxes and she's always willing to pass them out to any kid that walks through the door. In fact she probably has a special pantry just for all the goodie she buys specially for the neighborhood. Her living room is full of loud, rowdy tween boys playing video games. She smiles and cheers them on as she passes through. From down the hall comes the giggle of teen girls along with thumping bass of their music that's being blasted on the stereo. She peeks in on them to offer them snacks and drinks because she knows they are just too busy texting or messing around on Facebook to actually walk to the kitchen themselves. Out in the backyard is a group of eight year olds bouncing on the trampoline or pl
