Twin life

I am struggling with the twins. They are sick to death of sharing everything. I know it must be hard. They tend to be our most laid back of the crew. I have bragged for years that they are the easiest, that I would have a dozen just like them.  Today, I am taking it… Continue reading Twin life

This world owes me nothing.  I am not entitled to anything.  I don’t deserve anything.  God gives me His grace and mercy every single day!  Regardless of whether I deserve it or not. In todays world of instant gratification and self-entitlement, I am not going to lie, I get a bit frustrated.  Even with my… Continue reading Untitled
