Sometimes in life there are no words. The expressions of the heart must rise above words to flower in more subtle, yet meaningful ways.This occurs when one is confronted with death. What is there to say, really. Death is the great unknown for all of us. We are all going to die, yet none of [...]
It's raining this morning and then it's supposed to turn cold. Of course, cold is a relative term here in the deep south. It's what the rest of United States might call cool with warm days. Be that as it may, it will be a nice change. It's been rather warm the past several days, [...]
