One clear and peaceful Autumn morning on my way to work I stopped at the final red light before turning into the parking lot. Tapping my fingers on the steering wheel I looked at the car beside me as my scattered thoughts swirled around in my head sorting out the velocity of life. Then out of the corner of my eye I catch the scene of falling leaves. I watched one by one as each leaf swirled to the ground as life happened in the backdrop. I tell you, I got caught up and lost in this scene…unplugging from the business of life for a moment.

I lost my mom back in 2008 and I continue to thank the Lord for her. I know that she is in an amazing place and I can’t even begin to imagine what her eyes are seeing right now….but yeah, “I miss my mom!” It’s not the same without her.
Here are some words I spoke of her during her funeral.
It’s So Hard To Say Goodbye!
Here is a poem I wrote about my kids during my divorce…
I see it every day and I say it’s only living

A light, a warmth I wish will shine upon your face.
