Too Much Noise
There’s too much noise.Somewhere along the line everything got too loud.I try to focus but all the other thoughts echo over what is really important.The voices from tv.The words on social media.The people that think they know best.All the things on the to-do list that scream for attention.The kids.The job.The school.The church.The agendas and itineraries.The […]
I Get to do This
She’s only been here for 2 years, just 2 years living in this world. She doesn’t understand much about life or emotions.

Rodeos and JNCOs
