We often look for excuses when things don’t go our way, shifting the blame onto others instead of taking responsibility for our own choices. But excuses only grow stronger the more we feed them. This same pattern shows up when it comes to doing what’s right—we stay silent, waiting for someone else to step forward, rather than holding ourselves accountable. “What’s your excuse now?” is a challenge to stop hiding behind hesitation and a sense of true comfort in our own skin.

Happy Birthday, Dorothy!
I surprised a friend today after her 66th
birthday and more than 56 surgeries later! For some time now, she’s been through some serious adversities and challenges,
but you wouldn’t know it by her calm and peaceful demeanor. By the Grace of God, Dorothy is still standing! Her positive attitude proves that she is standing
in faith and trust that God will never leave her side. None of us knows the reasoning of God, but we
have to trust Him. His love for us is so
deep and wide that we will never understand how much He loves us. What I do know is that God loves so much that
He forgives us faster than we realize.
Dorothy looked and sounded great! We reminisced,
laughed and joked. She bragged about her grandchildren looks, talents and
intelligence. I was glad I stopped by. It was good to see her after a few
years. God bless!

Where Have I Been?
I have been slack. Events have passed and are coming up and I have been procrastinating. It's been a year since our surgery. It has been a minute or two since I took the time to tell Dorothy B and Harold N, two old school friends, that are dealing with their own personal issues, that they stay in my prayers. I have old co-workers that I will always remember but too lazy to call or even text. There are so many things happening in this nation and world that I have not even figured where to start from. I think I'm going through a slump. I'll keep you posted.
