These cold mornings find me rising before the dawn of each day, a phrase escapes my lips each new Morn, “Thank you Father for the first conscious breathe of this day, might I look for ways to fight to be honorable in word and thought so that all Glory may rise as I rise…
Memories
The hot wind hit me in the face, dust from the earth swirled about in the distance I could see the thunder clouds gathering quickly closing in on our little valley, as the sky grew dark the winds turned bitter cold soon I couldn’t even feel my hand, numb and freezing we all look at…
Maps
There we were between patients in the Operating room, everything was ready the calm before the storm. Someone had a blanket for the patient taking a closer look, it was a map of North America.
