It is

Even though some days I wished I didn't live to see

they are still good

Even if I wish I could start a few of them over

they are still good

Even though you are no longer walking with me

and I struggle to find the Sun

the day, is still good

It is the day that the Lord has made

I choose to rejoice in it

I push forward even though I don't want to

The day will move no faster

Even though I wish it would

But it doesn't change that it is still good

Just A Thought

Fall is so beautiful. It's almost as if we get permission to wonder at all of nature's glory that GOD created. The leaves are turning, delicious seasonal foods and beverages are being offered; it's the calm before the storm called the winter holidays. This year I have purposed to get closer to the meanings of the holidays by deleting some of our family traditions that don't add to the experience. By adding I mean creating lasting memories. For instance our kids, yours probably too, don't remember what they got last Christmas or the Christmas before that. They do, however, remember the tree and decorations, yummy food and new stuff.  And there it is! It comes down to stuff. All the time I spent in the store, carefully going over their lists and trying to match them to my budget. Substituting this for that, waiting for that to go on sale, following the ads to see who had the cheaper 'stuff'. REALLY??? Is that what Christ died for us to have? No - He said He ...

  Our youngest son, Nathan, had a set of health challenges recently. For those of you who are new to my blog...this is an ungoing thing. He was born in kidney failure and we were advised to abort him because he would be "deformed". SO WHAT; we would have been missed a beautiful journey that is far from over. Which is why I will never condone abortion! It robs, destroys and adds nothing but death and regret. I digress.  In this (the) latest chapter, Nate's stoma  https://www.columbiaurology.org/mitrofanoff  decided it had had enough. It would not yield any product no matter how much we tried. This lead to: 2 E.R. visits; one office visit and multiple phone calls. He was struggling to void and I knew this couldn't go on or other organs could get damaged.  A smaller catheter was placed and left in for 5 days. Needless to say he was not a happy camper. He didn't want to go anywhere because he was tethered to a drain bag. I completely understand. He is a teen an...

Taking A Moment to Say Thanks!

Happy 2014! I pray all is well with you and yours! I also expect that you have emerged from the 2013 Winter Holiday season a little more wiser, little more thankful and a little more determined to add beautiful things to someone else's life. With that said enjoy the first of many posts to come in 2014. -Souljourner Howard Have I told you thank you lately? I probably have not, so let me do so now.  Thank you for being such an awesome dad; that doesn't mean you are perfect it just means you never give up and through it all you are determined that your kids know you and your love for them.  Thank you for being a great husband who doesn't mind serving his wife when she is ill, down or just deserves some extra attention! It is hard for a man who didn't have a man to model from to understand 'servant love'. Our society, more specifically, our entertainment industry only focuses on the 'Eros' or erotic love and even then it is taken out of the structure...
