Called by Name: A.B.U.S.E. Questions
Single Parenting: It’s not too late if you haven’t ventured out for that over the top summer memory, the one your kids will surely write about, when their English teacher writes the assignment on the board.
Single Parenting: Communication. It’s highly unlikely that an abusive ex will stop abusing. You need to set up firm boundaries for what is and is not acceptable interaction.
Weary by Wednesday: Evil People. I don’t know about you, but evil people break my heart. I’m broken hearted for those they inflict their evil on, and how it affects so many.
Weary by Wednesday: Alone. Jesus sent the disciples ahead of him and dismissed the crowd. Jesus was tired, it’s the man side of him. He needed to get away. Talk to God without interruptions. Restore. Rejuvenate.
Single Parenting: How Will This Summer be Remembered? It’s a real. It’s here. And if you don’t make a plan, you may very well find yourself in September, kids back in school and wondering where did the time go.

Called by Name: The old adage about sticks and stones may break my bones, but words can never hurt me, is an out right lie.
Weary by Wednesday: Reflection. I soak this in, because naturally I am not calm. I spiral out over the littlest of problems. I worry. I fret.
Sounds of Abuse. There are the happy sounds described above and then there are the sounds inside an abusive home.
I know, this is a blog, I’m supposed to have something to say. But sometimes, there just aren’t words. There …

Worn Down: Single Parenting Stress Releivers. My eyelid twitching was at its worse during my years as a single parent. I probably got so used to it back then I stopped noticing it. Single parenting is stressful. And it can help a lot if you put a few stress busters in your daily routine.
