Cold Front

September 5, 2011Mary Jo3 Comments on Cold Front

The littlest one just ran inside and asked me for his hoodie.

It smells like wet leaves outside.

Chili is not out of the question for dinner.

The grass looks greener and the tree trunks look almost black against the gray sky.

I feel safe a…

Fading Love

September 2, 2011May 10, 2020Mary JoLeave a Comment on Fading Love

At the beach was where Rachel McFann
Let the first boy she met hold her hand
Her date slyly asked her
Which would fade faster
Her love or the lines from her tan?

The Pinafore

August 26, 2011May 10, 2020Mary JoLeave a Comment on The Pinafore

There was something odd about Theodore
And not something small one could just ignore
Just to hear from his brain
He seemed perfectly sane
But to look, one must notice his pinafore

Finding Forgiveness

August 24, 2011Mary Jo1 Comment on Finding Forgiveness

I was fuming, but I knew I needed to get over it. She hadn’t done anything terrible but the circumstances had been such, that her carelessness had left me feeling abandoned. Why didn’t she see it? Why was she so sure that she had done nothing wrong?…

For Ony

August 19, 2011July 9, 2020Mary Jo2 Comments on For Ony

I have a dear aunt named Devona,
Who is true to her lovely persona,
It’s her birthday today,
And I feel I must say,
Years just add to her glowing corona.

time

August 17, 2011July 9, 2020Mary Jo1 Comment on time

I have not felt like I have time to do blogging justice lately so I haven’t blogged.

There are certainly some things worth writing about though so I will try to give them a little credit here and then move on.

Do You Tell Them?

July 27, 2011July 9, 2020Mary Jo3 Comments on Do You Tell Them?

The moment each of my boys were born I whispered something to them. “Jesus love you.” Above anything else, above my own love for them, above their own esteem, I want them to know that Jesus loves them.

Some may consider it cliché, some might consid…

For I Wait on Thee

July 22, 2011July 14, 2017Mary Jo10 Comments on For I Wait on Thee

Psalm 25:21

Sometimes the road has climbs that don’t make sense. There are valleys that seem out of place considering our quest.

Not Writing

July 19, 2011July 9, 2020Mary Jo6 Comments on Not Writing

Hi friends! I thought I’d just post a quick note here stating my current condition. I’m not writing.

It’s not writers block. I’ve never had that. It’s not a time to take a break. I have no issues I have to deal with. I just have a busy schedule…

Squabbles

July 15, 2011July 6, 2020Mary Jo1 Comment on Squabbles

The squabbles of Carla and Carrie,
Made the boys they loved cautious and wary,
But such sweet girls appeared,
And denounced all they feared,
They’ll have peace until after they marry.
