Superheroes
The idea of a "superhero" is that they do things that most normal people cannot do. They have super strength, x-ray vision, speed, determination... My "Christian" is a superhero. As I write this he is lying asleep in his hospital room...a deep sleep...
It’s All Good…but today is Great!
Every time I am at church a member of our wonderful congregation will ask, "How is 'Christian' today?" Our congregation keeps my sweet boy lifted in prayer constantly knowing that from one day to the next his hemophilia may get the best of him. Last night at our...
And the tears came
Getting ready for church turns into a day in the emergency room. Another day of plans put aside….a party cancelled, some needed work put on hold again… A hand swollen, digits full of blood and a little boy who doesn't understand why. Passing the time watching...
Thank You
In high school I spent a lot of time at my best friend Cyndi's house. She lived around the corner and her house was great! Her mom bought Dr. Pepper, pizza rolls and they had MTV. I would go on the weekends to the lake with her family and we would often play a pick...

Overwhelmed
I've been pretty overwhelmed lately…..with my youngest son in the hospital just getting through a "normal" day and making sure my family is intact is a huge undertaking. Here I am, on the evening of about the 25th day (I've lost count) in the hospital as the evening...
When the Lights Go Out
Tonight my sweet "Christian" had some trouble with his infusion of factor and needed a dose of IV Benadryl. Unfortunately he developed a pretty serious headache and was in quite a bit of pain, so he took some Tylenol and we turned off all of the lights and...
Stuff
Some people feel as if they have to live a life as close to perfection as possible. Their children need to wear designer clothes, they need to drive the best cars, live in big homes, go on at least one family vacation a year to an exotic place…..they insist on...
