It was bound to happen that’s what they all said Bound to question the thoughts in my head Why in the world am I here? Yet again, facing another fear? I was comfortable where I was, content, cool Now I’m sitting here looking like a fool At least that’s how I feel Knowing those feelings…
Sleeping In? – Day 18
Clearly this didn’t upload properly from my phone last night… so here it is… Since when did 6:30 am become “sleeping in?” This coming from someone who would roll out of bed at 8:00 am and work started at 8:00 am. But tonight, I happily set my alarm for 6:30. Crazy! Am I really taking…
Journey of Discovery
Day 19 Spent this day chatting with my oldest son. Organic in nature, a whole day of just talking. About everything …from racism, to college, to filmmaking, and relationships. As a sit and admire his own journey of discovery, I am ignited to be on one of my own. Admiring his season, his grasp of…

I’ve Got This – Day 15
The Lord continues to give me those pockets of sunshine that I prayed for a few days ago. Whenever I start to feel overwhelmed, inadequate, insecure, or afraid (when you think about it, it’s all just rooted in fear anyway), He reminds me in some way that I’ve got this! Like this evening, after our…
The Second Ten
Day 15, Day 20 & 22 It was Panama City, FL and I can remember what the gate looked like. What the pool behind the gate looked like. I remember it was right next to the ocean. Part of the campground where we were camped for sabbatical summers. The sign excluded anyone under 11 without…
Be All Here – Day 14
Tomorrow begins my 6-day orientation for the MTR (Memphis Teacher Residency) program. Tonight was the welcome dinner for the class of 2019, my class. The director, David (who I swear is a pastor on his off days because of the way he speaks) gave us a few pointers or tips on how to be successful…
