Foster Sister
Growing up my parents took in a whole lot of kids. They came almost exclusively from deeply troubled homes. Some stayed with us for a day, or a month, and a few for several years. Of the forty or fifty foster siblings I have had in my life one stayed in regular contact with our…

Pharmacy after a Holiday
I worked pharmacy tonight. I really expected it to be worse than it actually was. The crew is good which always helps. I still feel like I’m half a tech but even the support I can give seems useful. But now I’m tired and hungry. I remind myself that I need this job because I…

Loving Her
It’s another late night that has turned into an early morning. I sit in the den as I do sometimes contemplating the combination of love and stress in my life.

Broke and Tired but Loved
I’m tired of being broke and wouldn’t be broke if I weren’t so tired. But I will keep working at life. I will take care of my family, I will go to Walgreens, I will make art, I will write, and I will spread as much peace, joy and love to all of you as…

Wrapped Carnations
My wife knows I love carnations. She bought me this bouquet last week. She warned me that if I didn’t take them out of the wrapping and put them into water that they wouldn’t last long. I left them in the wrapping and hung the whole arrangement on the wall of the den. She was…

Early Sunday
It’s too early to be awake and I’ve already been up for two hours. I’m still planning on going to church today, but it seems like such a long way off at this point. The house is quiet and my thoughts are spinning. They aren’t wildly out of control at the moment. They’re just at…
