"Good timber does not grow with ease,

The stronger wind, the stronger trees.

The further sky, the greater length....
The more the storm, the more the strength.
By sun and cold, by rain and snow,
In trees and men good timbers grow."
-Douglas Malloch

Suffer the Children

My plea...

Ye Shall Find Rest Unto Your Souls

Sometimes I have a picture in my mind of dragging myself across life's finish line, only to fall at Heavenly Father's feet and gasp, "...I'm here, I did it..."

By Small And Simple Things...

As my husband goes through this incredibly difficult process, I need to look for every tiny way to appreciate his efforts and his progress. 

The Valley of the Shadow of Death

Towards the end of last year, I sensed what might be coming for us this year and I warned my husband that we were entering a very rough time. I am telling him now that it's going to get worse before it gets better.
