Wall of Hope

All I have right now of my children is a wall of photos. My son is Dana Point and he’s asked me to not call him anymore. When we speak he’s angry and lashes out at me for trying to help him with jobs and doctor appointments. Yesterday he told me that Glenn was giving […]

Vision of Love

I was reminded of my son’s vision. He was healed on a beach, had a woman who loved him on his couch at home and he worked construction. This isn’t my place to touch what’s on his heart. That’s God’s design and will at work. Likewise, I have one too – a dream. A vision […]

He’s Gone

It’s 12:37 a.m. in Philadelphia – home of the Eagles. Just two days ago I told Josh on the drive from LAX after we dropped his sister off at the airport and went to the parking lot to feel the jets landing above us my connection to the house of Philadelphia. It’s the 3-7 in […]

Job for Josh

God has been telling me for a while now to “Let go and let God” through a number of sources. He’s safe with a room and roof over his head here at Tamra’s. He needs a lot but the basic place to stay is for now secure. She’s loving and understanding of his circumstances and […]

Coming to LA

As soon as I completed my writing in the blog last night, I received a horrible phone call from Glenn. I asked him how my son was doing and asked him if I needed to get him a hotel room since he had given his room and bed to a visitor that showed up the […]

Sarah and Sam

Today I received a gift I wasn’t expecting. Roger texted asking for my Zelle and said he was selling my washer and dryer to a couple for $500. A few minutes later I received the alert that the money had been received and immediately I thought it odd that just yesterday I was scrambling for […]

Day of 17

Today has been a day of 17 – over and over again. It was the gate at every single flight I flew, the number on the jersey flashing over a screen of the Dodger Stadium going wild and even the room number I ended up with tonight; 917. As I watched the batter take the […]

LA to Texas

As I arrived in Spokane today after a night that was extremely difficult, I picked up the pen and started to write God a letter. I told him thank you for sending people in my life who are willing to help me and my son. Then my phone rang and distracted me into conversations with […]

Ball

I’m not the only one chasing a story. It’s the reason we’re drawn to chaos and bad news in the first place; we want to make sure we don’t miss the set-up scene before the hero enters the plot and saves the day. There’s no error in the pursuit, but in the Glory we fail […]

Security in Seat 37 A

I was called out today, leaving Dana Point on essentially no sleep at 1:30 a.m. wake up to report for standby at 4:30 in LA. Then immediately after my check-in I was assigned a turn to New York where I worked the first flight and did a deadhead on the one home; seated in 37A. […]
