2-Family Facet, Poetry: Original Works »
As short as life is, its lessons are long
We learn good from bad, and right from wrong
We take some things for granted; others, we prize
We say hello and sometimes too quickly, goodbye
We go through the motions, grind out the beat
We dance to life’s rhythm; we taste bitters and sweets
Life takes us on highs… and crashes to lows
But through all the trials, we’re eager for …

I feel so bad for Uncle Von right now. His son, Dariel, was murdered in New Orleans on Wednesday; they found his body this morning. I can’t say that I really knew him well. I saw him somewhat regularly when Barry and I started dating back in 97-98, but he was only about 10 or so then so of course I didn’t get to know …

We went to Bible study last night… between having Zoe 5 months ago and my second job, neither Barry or myself have either been able to go for quite a while but last week we sat down and made a plan and faithful church-and-Bible-study attendance/participation was part of the deal. So, we went.
Back up a bit.
The past few weeks have been pretty trying to say …

I had quite an evening… if I didn’t have such a good sense of humor, I’d probably be suicidal! LOL I finished up invoices and stuffed and stamped them here (at work) about a quarter til 5 and had to get it all to the Post Office by 5. I left the post office and went and paid 2 bills. I didn’t realize my gasoline …

This breaks my heart.
Burning of black church ruled arson
Authorities are investigating if it was a hate crime

At some point, as Christians, we all realized a time in our lives when our world was void of God… missing His purpose for us as well as his teachings and in turn missing His blessings! To go a step further, many of us have also realized that regardless of all the Bible studies and church sermons and “God things” we fill our lives with, …

Four students at George Fox University in Newberg, Ore., received disciplinary action after hanging a life-size cardboard cutout of Sen. Barack Obama from a tree on campus.
Two UT students have been disciplined for refusing to remove Obama signs from their dorm windows. They’ve been barred from registering for spring classes and face even further disciplinary action.
DAYTON — University of Dayton officials said Tuesday, Aug. 5, …

There were a lot of emotions last night running wild all over the U.S. First let me say I have never been a ‘political’ person. I don’t get into politics… I don’t follow politicians… I don’t debate over political issues… mainly because no candidate since I’ve been old enough to vote has impressed me to the point of being motivated to get involved. Yes, I …

A couple of weeks ago, apparently Tre had gotten in trouble at school. Barry was driving them to school and overheard Tre whispering to Briyana in the back, “Here’s my money – get me some gummy worms cause I’m gonna be in detention!” Well… at least he’s thinking ahead; that’s a step in the right direction, right? LOL
Last weekend when we were at my mom’s, …

I’m a fairly reflective type of person. I often sit and think about things I’ve experienced over the years… or just things I picked up on throughout the day. One thing that keeps becoming a somewhat important question in my life is, “Are things ever going to get any easier?” I really hate asking that question because I know things will continue to get easier, …

How many things do I have going on? Oh, I dunno… a zillion?
Working 50 hours a week for Eagle/Smith and this has a million projects of its own:
Daily management of employee labor tab – percentage of daily revenue
Daily management of company bank transactions – reconciliation, balancing, planning/budgeting
Weekly management of ordering inventory and supplies for the monument company, processing customer contracts, maintaining an up-to-the-minute summary of …

I don’t even know how to describe how I am feeling right now other than to say that I am just thoroughly disgusted. I don’t even feel like thinking about it long enough to go into any sort of detail, but I will just be really happy when some things start turning out like they should. I have a great life; it’s not that I …

I have an outer ear infection. I’ve gotten them several times over the years, but thankfully I haven’t had one since I was pregnant with Talia. Quite frankly, this SUCKS! It hurts so bad and my whole ear is swollen on the inside, creating an extremely uncomfortable pressure in addition to the PAIN. I called my doctor yesterday and got him to call me in …
