Something that I've struggled with for awhile is looking at our country voting on sound bites, and to me, character is really important.
The only way to defeat evil is by taking advantage of our freedoms.
The blessing is that my kids have a lot of strong men and strong marriages around them, so I feel like they are getting what they need as far as role modeling. So I don't feel the pressure for them.
I think that God prepared me for Chris's death in some ways, because I've seen other people lose their spouses. I've known for a long time that life isn't fair.
With a warm drink, in a rocking chair and family and friends around, I am working on finding peace and joy in the moments we have been given. It doesn't have to all make sense. I don't have all the answers.
I have been touched by extreme violence, and I have been robbed of the life I always wanted by someone who chose to do evil.
