Walking into the light

As I watch the election unfold here in the US, Brexit in the UK, and terror attacks around the world I can’t help but wonder, along with many others, “What in the world is happening to us? When did we become so led by fear?” As I thought about this question it led me to wonder what changed in the make-up of the American people, and that led me to an interesting possible correlation. World War II ended in 1945, just 71 years ago. Of the 16 million Americans who served in that war, only approximately 500,000 remain alive today….

Why I won’t quit Facebook:

Facebook was made available to the general public in February 2006. 10 years later there are over 1.65 Billion users. That is more users than the entire population of China, who interestingly, bans access to Facebook along with Iran and North Korea. But other than those three countries the entire world is represented on this network.

YOU ARE ENOUGH

There is enough, You are enough. Really - there is, and really - you are! I'm so glad you're here. The decision to share my story has been a complicated process and even though I'm certain this is what I should do, it is not without trepidation. My heartfelt prayer is that this helps anyone who, when they find their own bedrock, will remember that I was once there too. I pray that they will remember this story, and it will be a guide back to the truth. You are enough. Real life is: messy and incredible, brutal and tender. But there is one thing it is most certainly not....life is not limited, and neither are you. Dig in, comment, and join us as we remind one another of this life altering truth: There is enough. I am enough.
