jolted // thoughts on eternity
On Saturday morning, I woke up discouraged. Depressed would probably be a more accurate word to use. For the past couple weeks, we’ve had a break from my husband’s school schedule. Plus, he’s had days off because of the holidays. Let’s just say I’ve enjoyed it. Immensely. Saturday was the last day off before the dreaded “normal” week…

Hi. I Need You.
“How are you?” Fine. “Really?” She kept looking at me. I think it was because I was on the verge of tears. I decided she cared. So I told her what I was burdened about. And she listened. The whole conversation took approximately 2 1/2 minutes. But it made me think. Jesus tells us to…
